Thursday's Tidbit

This is going to sound totally Stepford of me, but I actually really like cleaning. Before you roll your eyes, hear me out. I like it because not only does it give me a sense of calm and control in a chaotic world, it's also a great work out. Apartment therapy recently posted about this, here is there breakdown of calorie burning chores: 

• Vacuuming and Sweeping: (burn 240 calories/hour) 
• Scrubbing Floors: (burn 325 calories/hour) 
• Stairs: (burn 250 calories/hour) 
• Childcare: (burn 205 calories/hour)
