But now it smells fresh and clean!<BR/><BR/>If only I could convince the kids not to come back in...hmm...LOL.JulieMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217474724223801870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-78742150792091880182009-02-23T13:20:00.000-06:002009-02-23T13:20:00.000-06:00That exactly is my Lenten project!!!

It IS so encouraging to know other housewives who have the same struggles I do - those of us with messy homes tend not to let anyone in, and so since the only homes ANY of us see are those that are picture-perfect, it's very easy to feel that we're the ONLY ONES whose homes are not clean and organized.

The rest of my house may be a wreck, but my living area (which is an open area with the kitchen and dining area also) stays pretty clean. The kids bring their stuff in, but they know that as soon as they leave their stuff goes with them. Sometimes we use a laundry basket to haul it all to their rooms.Marci Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296179840426446417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-1504599976493228062009-02-22T17:03:00.000-06:002009-02-22T17:03:00.000-06:00I "flew" for awhile at our old house.

I just think it should be easier than all this. My grandma certainly did everything without a website to guide her! Is there a "getoffyourlazybutt.com" I could look up? :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893224927335285415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-28444084608610399092009-02-22T16:12:00.000-06:002009-02-22T16:12:00.000-06:00So, I would be more on the born-organized side of ...So, I would be more on the born-organized side of the coin, yet... having a family makes anyones housecleaning skills questionable, lol. I recommend (although most know of her already) flylady.net - getting organized, staying sane, all with a good, loving attitude is possible. ;^) check it out for a couple of days (it grows on ya), and let me know what you think ;^) <BR/>Blessings, SheriStandinginhislighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844920456617735600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-208450564546644692009-02-22T16:01:00.000-06:002009-02-22T16:01:00.000-06:00Brenda,I really love this post. so honest.
