With five little ones in the house now (two of them being rambunctious toddlers!) I am constantly in shock at how messy my house can be. I try to keep up, but mostly I'm just keeping up with the little ones, not keeping up with housework.
I don't feel bad about this, because the babes are my priority. But still, it can get discouraging to have so much filth and clutter around me. Now that Christmas is over and we've put away the tree and decorations, my goal each day has been to do one or two chores that help put our entire home back in order.
I've been giving away excess toys and clothes, cleaning out the fridge, freezers, and pantry, and today I got the top of my buffet uncluttered! Ahhhhhh, this feels so much better. Each little organizing job makes a great big difference in how I feel in our home, so I'm very thankful to get something accomplished each day toward this!
