What does your house look like before people come over?
We just came across Blue Milk where there is a post about a photographic project which is collecting pictures of real people's homes. In Mommy Guilt we discuss the difference between "ready for royalty" clean and "surface clean."
When we have kids in our homes, it is can be quite stressful to maintain "ready for royalty" clean at all times. Someday when the kids are out of the house, we can have our homes in that kind of pristine condition 24/7 if we so desire, but for now, unless you are expecting a visit from his or her royal highness why not give up the guilt of "letting your house go" and try embracing "surface clean"?
Surface clean means there is no pennicillin growing on anything, dust bunnies may be present but not multiplying and the house is safe to crawl or walk around without being hurt by a Lego.
Except for The Early Morning Lego Encounter which is inevitable.
We strongly believe The Early Morning Lego Encounter brings many of us back to the days when we wore these badboys:

My house is never ready for royalty. I would say surface clean as in, dishes are done, floors are vacuumed and toilets are clean.
As for clutter and toys? Everywhere. I'm working on it! :)
3 kids - 2 boys and 1 girl. Need I say more? hehe
Dr. Scholl's! I wanted a pair for so long, finally got them, and realized that they hurt like the devil. Thanks for the memory! ;)
