Lessons in Cleanliness

I love a clean house and for the past few months my house hasn't been exactly as pristine as I would like. I love to clean and declutter. It's like therapy for me. When I get stressed I clean something and then I feel a whole lot better. I've been teaching the girls how to clean. They've been helping with chores. I don't go crazy or anything. We just do a few chores on Saturday. I've been trying to teach them how to correctly clean things. Last month we worked on dusting and swiffering the wood floors. They fight over swiffering...and windex. They are getting to be good little house keepers now. This month we are working on the bathroom. I've never seen a person so excited to clean the toilet. Must be because we are always trying to keep them out of it.






Hey! Put those down! Those aren't for brushing teeth.
