How to keep a clean house...when you have growing kids?

Before you have kids, you will think that such statements are ridiculous , a little exaggerated and plain crazy, that is until you are raising young kids. Trust me when I say your house will look like it has been custom designed by a 3 year old, form the crayon markings on the wall, the countless toys that lace your floors to the fingerprint stains that are all over your furniture, windows and mirrors.

The thing with kid is that they are sticky, and whatever they come across will be left sticky beyond comprehension. I have made peace with the fact that our home will never be in the state I want it to be, it will never be as neat, tidy and organised but it will be livable, I suppose that's what being a parent is all about, letting go of things that don't really matter for precious, priceless things of value. You are afforded an opportunity to see yourself through your child's eyes, to learn from them new lessons and old ones that you have forgotten and to rediscover the world, and even though its excruciatingly painful stepping on a toy laying on the floor, you realize that those are some of the things that make a house a home, so you don't lose it .

One day I will have a home free of creative designs of my kids and I cant help but wonder when that time comes will I be happy and relieved that I finally have things my way, or will I miss the innocence that sparked that creativity in the first place, I guess we will just have to wait and see, for now my girls design living spaces...

Its all love...
