"Hidden Treasures"



You're probably thinking "what is that?" It's certainly doesn't look like one of those heirlooms you find in the attic. It happens to be the icky candy wrappers and crumbs of food under the sofa cushions--YUK!! My dear husband was picking up some toys this weekend in our living room and was looking under the sofa cushions when he stumbled across this mess. Having just arrived home from a meeting, I also took a look and was disgusted at the icky mess. Anyone who has children and lets them eat in the living room--yes, we are guilty--should be very aware of what is lurking under their sofa cushions. It is not a pretty sight!! Go ahead and take a peek under your cushions. If it looks anything like ours, pick up the larger scrap pieces and then take the vacuum hose right away to the smaller objects and get rid of it, you will feel much better knowing you did (as the second picture shows a clean sofa cushion). During the cleaning session, we did find a few "hidden treasures" under our cushions--2 remote controls and our older son made out with $1.49 in change, not a bad deal...do you know what's lurking under your sofa cushions?
