Kids Can Clean

Maintaining your home is a family affair.
 
 
Even at a very early age your child can complete age appropriate cleaning tasks to help around the house. Now, busy moms, don't stress out if it's not done to your liking. We are talking about children here. Initially, what you are doing is teaching responsibility in the home. You are setting the expectation early... Trust me, you'll get alot less resistance later. And don't worry, you can always go back and tidy up or reclean behind the job done by your small children. **Hint: Don't let them see you do it. None of us like to have someone running behind us and correcting our every move. ;)

The Book that Changed my Life

This is the book that changed my life, revamped my home, and quite possibly saved my marriage. 

I don't know if you can tell, but it's pages are dog eared after only a few months. That is because it went with me everywhere. I read and reread it. I found it a treasure trove of knowledge for mastering my extremely cluttered home. Don't believe me, just ask my family. They'll tell you that our home has come a long way from where it used to be. 

Previously, I'd have to clean my home for a day and a half in order to have friends over (and even then you couldn't open a closet or a cabinet). Now things are manageable. I don't freak out when I have unexpected guest. Now I take about 15 mins to make it it's best.
