it's on account of all these inspirational blogs i read, which are all full of gorgeous photos wherein the beautiful red-cheeked children are chopping vegetables or collecting nuts and wildflowers like crazy little nymph-goblins and the mothers and fathers are industriously filling their homes with brilliant creations, while preparing meals using solely home grown produce. they--unlike me--seem to realize all their best ideas. and have energy to spare. i want to be like that!
so, this post is for those of you who left nice comments on my last post. i have nothing against accepting all kinds of flattery when it's deserved. but here's a little bit of what my house really looks like when i'm crafting away like a crafty craft-witch (or just bored of housework): piles everywhere. unswept corners and sticky juice counters. stained or uncovered couch cushions. a trail of Little leavings, including toys, torn books, bits of masticated food she was finished with, crayon nubs, pulverized cereal, and a general, not completely unpleasant, mosh of household cluster. *sigh*

Wow! You are braver than I! I wouldn't dare post pictures of my house. You still looked like your house is clean compared to mine! Mine is disasterous right now. I can't ever seem to get ahold of it. We need to have a serious dejunking party at our house!
Glad to know I'm not the only one. As much as I try to tame the clutter beast, it still wins most days. I have the "just put it there" mentality. Not so good if you want a neat house and if you want to be able to find anything. But I move on and reclaim one area while another is being attacked. Such is my life.
S.
That is how it should be. No sense in having everything perfect all the time!
Okay so what is with this new generation and torn books????? Every time I leave Samuel in his room to take a nap, I come back in to a book that has taken a sure beating!!?!!
Me too, me too. I have been sick all weekend and am finally getting around to a little of the cleaning, but still not as much as the house needs. I love that your house looks like mine, though mine is still quite a bit messier!
Oh my gosh. Somebody call Clean Sweep.
Btw - Those people with ever-immaculate homes are not real. They're like the supermodels on magazine covers: airbrushed and retouched until they appear perfect from the outsider's perspective. Everybody has vices and flaws. I think perfect is boring.
just be grateful that i spared you the bathroom.
would you show us please?!
