It also means they make a lot of their own (creative) snacks but don't clean up. Clothes pile up more than they used to (and the clothes are bigger--no more tiny clothes which take up less room) and there is just a ton of stuff everywhere that I'm not sure what it is so it's hard to know what to do with it.<br /><br />I'm sure there is a science to cleaning somewhere. A friend of mine put together a lovely book a few years ago called "Next to Godliness" about cleaning that's worth checking out.<br /><br />Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-13682192929447899022017-03-07T07:03:16.167-06:002017-03-07T07:03:16.167-06:00I've always wanted to quilt!

Which only makes them more needed. Which makes them more daunting! Unfortunately no one else in my family is the clean-as-you-go type, so I wind up cleaning up for people which frustrates me. <br />Sometimes I think psychologists should analyze people based on how they clean! Is that a thing? It should be.<br />-LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351940065850639770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-2189326956010654382017-03-06T08:04:16.022-06:002017-03-06T08:04:16.022-06:00Right there with you!

This weekend I finished one quilt, then reorganized fabric for certain projects and sewed together batting scraps to make a full sheet I could use. Glorious feeling.<br /><br />We hired cleaners this past fall. They come every two weeks, and I find one of the best parts is that we have to pick up toys and miscellaneous in order for them to clean--so we can only get about two weeks' worth of clutter before we're forced to get it in at least 85% order for the cleaners.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575644073735533220noreply@blogger.com
