Iiih. I am not sure about that. I must say I am a bit of an all or nothing person and tend to get really stuck into it when I start. My family always looks a little nervous when I get in the 'cleaning mode' and that alone is enough to make them join me (in fear of seeing their loved possessions being chucked or vacuumed away for ever)! :)<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely post on my blog today. We share admiration for Marija.

I do have to agree with npk: the children? They are the source of most of that mess!!! How does one get a 13 yr old to clean up after herself? The constant clothing changes, makeovers and food consumption??? AGH!<br /><br />I'll join VictoriaArt at the boutique hotel.

But you have to be careful not do a Felix Unger ha ha. <br />Sometimes a little clutter and some dog hair tumbleweeds look homey (that's my story and I'm sticking to it).<br />Thanks for stopping by...<br />xo xoVisual Vamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703228111473936714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483883895717928860.post-80171078441780749912010-04-28T13:24:00.310-07:002010-04-28T13:24:00.310-07:00I hate cleaning.

I believe that a chore a day will work. Even if I devote 1 hour everyday to something, it has to get better by the end of the week! My house has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths...also a living room, sitting room, office, kitchen and basement (which we are not using right now). So, it is a lot to clean! I really should have help, but I am too stubborn I think! For now, I am going to try this approach! Hope you all try it!Living It At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17581578393058704172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-483883895717928860.post-70533872490973213832010-04-28T11:58:40.282-07:002010-04-28T11:58:40.282-07:00Such a cute post...and Maggie! :)
