POV: you’ve been cleaning for six hours and someone asks what’s for dinner

Apparently me. I’m doing everything else around here. 😂

The holidays aren’t even here yet and I’ve already threatened to cancel hosting twice.

A clean home is never just about having a clean home.

It’s walking into the kitchen and not immediately seeing another thing you need to do. It’s having people over without the last-minute panic clean. It’s getting your weekend back instead of spending half of it catching up on the house.

It’s noticing that everything just feels a little lighter when your space is taken care of.

That’s always been the bigger idea behind Stone & Cedar.

Yes, we clean homes. But what we’re really giving back is time, breathing room, and one less thing taking up space in your head.

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself, and there are a lot of new faces around here, so hi. I’m Mari!

Stone & Cedar started because I needed something that was mine.

I wanted a space to decompress, create, and put energy into something completely different. And as strange as it sounds, cleaning had always been that for me.

There’s something about taking a space that feels chaotic and putting it back together. The before and after. The tiny details. That moment when you’re finished and everything just feels a little quieter.

So I started wondering if I could build something around that feeling.

And if I was going to do it, I wanted to do it differently.

Beautiful branding. Thoughtful products. An elevated experience from the first interaction to the moment someone walked back into their home. A company that cared deeply about the work instead of simply getting through a checklist.

But doing it differently also meant being honest about what this service is.

Having someone take cleaning off your plate is a luxury. It’s physical, detailed and demanding work that deserves to be valued that way. It also means being invited into someone’s personal space, which requires trust, communication and understanding that sometimes, we simply aren’t the right fit for everyone.

I wanted the work to be respected just as much as the experience surrounding it. Where taking care of our clients didn’t come at the expense of the people doing the work.

And where walking back into your home after we leave feels like an exhale.

Somehow, the thing I created to give myself a little room to breathe became a way to give other people that same feeling.

So if you’re new here, welcome. And if you’ve trusted us with your home, told a friend about us, shared a post or simply followed along, thank you. 💜

I’m really glad I built it.

This is the kind of productivity no one puts on the vision board.

Started one thing. Remembered another thing. Got distracted by a third thing. Somehow ended up outside. And the original task? Still sitting there, wide open, waiting for me.

But hey… the mirror is clean. 💁‍♀️

Please tell me I’m not the only one who cleans like this. 😅

“You own a cleaning company? I bet your house is spotless.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway, welcome to the trenches.

A new way to invest in the community I call home. 🌲

I’m excited to officially join the Tenino Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and get to work alongside people who care deeply about the future of our local businesses and community.

One area I’m especially excited to dig into is the Chamber’s Marketing Committee which I will be chairing. There’s a lot of opportunity to better tell the story of Tenino, spotlight the businesses and people doing great things here, and create more reasons for people to shop, visit, connect and get involved locally.

And, I don’t want to do it alone.

I’m starting to build a small team of people who enjoy marketing, social media, photography, content, events, storytelling or just coming up with really good ideas and want to put some of that creativity toward our community.

You don’t need to be a marketing professional. You just need to care about Tenino and be willing to bring some ideas and energy to the table. Time commitment will be small and reasonable.

Interested in being part of it? Send me a message. I’d love to start building this with you.

Investigators would have questions. So would we, honestly.

There’s a version of us that’s fun and relaxed. She shows up right after the dishes are done.

There’s a difference and every mom knows exactly what it is.
