TOURISM TIPS STRAIGHT FROM VEGAS

Travel….it can be both exhilarating and exhausting. Personally, a good jolt out of reality and routine does me good…occasionally! If you know me, you know I’m a creature of habit and I like my comfort zone.

Recently I zeroed in on the Association of Residential Cleaning Services International (ARCSI) conference as a chance to hone some of We Love Messes’ cleaning skills, and to connect with other professionals in the field. I was apprehensive about attending the conference solo…but hey, the edge of the comfort zone is where things start happening! I attended lots of seminars, walked the trade show floor, and met people like Amar, Chris, and Courtney (in the picture) who run the Zenmaid software we use.
​
I mixed a little fun in there, too – forcing myself out of my hotel room (where I usually hole up after a day of networking and talking to people). My quick tips for being a tourist - in Vegas or elsewhere?
  • Take public transportation – it takes me out of my comfort zone, is scenic, and you see…. lots! I use Uber frequently while traveling, and ask my drivers what THEIR top thing to do/see/eat is. Then I try to follow up on that recommendation. It is rarely a tourist attraction, and I’ve seen some unique things due to the ask!
  • Go to a show or local event – one you’d never see otherwise – step out of your box!
  • Walk, if you are able. There is a more intimate feel to being on the street, and it allows you to duck into a store or restaurant, spur of the moment.
  • Don’t over-pack! You can wear the same items more than once and no one (seriously!) will know!
How about you? What do you like to do when you travel? Please share!!!

Getting Kids On Board

Kids model what they see, right? One of my lovely clients shared the folding boards she made for her girls, pattern found on Pinterest (of course!), and the video of how they use it.

I was amazed that even at the girls' young ages they were able to, and excited about, using the folding boards. This Mom is giving her girls a head start on the life skills they'll need to manage adulthood! WAY TO GO MOM!

For more instructions about how to make your own boards, be sure to go back to my #ResourceWednesday from yesterday and watch that video. If it can take away some of the dread and crumpled laundry mess, it is definitely worth it!
