I multitask to a T, which means when I am doing just one thing at a time I wonder what is missing. This is why I have been excited to partner with Clorox on their latest campaign to see what Mom would do with 3 minutes. The Clorox Company and children’s book author Karen Kaufman Orloff are working together to create an e-book with time-saving tips inspired by moms called… If Mom Had Three Minutes. Since the day is not going to extend beyond the 24 hours we all hope for, it means we try to squeeze more out of what is there already. 
Moms are ultra smart in how they manage to get the job done and has really been fun to see what has tips readers have come up with so far on the If Mom Had Three Minutes tab on Clorox’s Facebook page While my kids love most veggies some are tougher to get down due to their look or feel. I put spinach in flatbread that I make and no-one is the wiser. That’s just one of the ways I think I win. Cleaning up the basement? I give each kid a bag and ask them to fill it with toys to see who can pick up the most. Poor innocent kiddos think it is a contest and do the bulk of the pickup. I am sure you have plenty of these tips. Why don’t you share your tip to make the most of time and 20 of my readers will be randomly selected to get a coupon for one free Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes product when they share their tips, which will help inspire If Mom Had Three Minutes.
Would you like to win one of 20 coupons for one free Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes product?

3 minutes – ok
take the sad orange/tangerine at the bottom of the fruit basket and cut it in half – microwave it for 2 minutes. This will disperse citrus oil in the steam and loosen debris on walls/ceiling of microwave. Let it sit for a minute and then wipe w/papertowel
Also – pick out your choice of Kcup and start a mug of coffee. Now grab a wipe and clean counters/cooktop/doorhandled of fridge. Get your creamer out of fridge and add it to your coffee; use that wipe to get the drop of coffee or creamer that inevitably drops from stirrer. Dispose of wipe – let coffee cool while you wipe down microwave. Then take your coffee and go surf the internet a bit. yea – I think that’s about 3 multitasked minutes that ends with clean counters, microwave and a great cup of coffee!
