[quote=sdduuuude]We like the “forced tidying” mentioned above. It makes us keep the clutter down, and gives us a good reason to get the kids to do the same.[/quote]
Every time we do something new, we discover something unexpected.
When we hired a house cleaner, what we discovered is that we kept the house cleaner! It forced us to pick up our little “projects” the day before she arrives, so at least once every 14 days the house is totally free of projects du jour….and it stays that way until the next weekend hits. 🙂
