My house has been a terrible mess lately! I really mean it - just awful! Well, I finally got the kitchen cleaned up and am so happy. I have kept it clean for 3 days now! Yay!
We are trying to do the dishes and put them away right after the meal is over. If we don't, they are forgotten. It is not nice to wake up to dirty dishes. It is like starting the day already behind.
Of course there are more important things than dishes - but a clean kitchen really does a lot for my mood. It seems to help set the tone for our home. My husband has been very happy too. He keeps saying, "It is so nice!". Obviously I think it is nice too - I took a picture!
I wish it was not so hard for me to keep my home clean and tidy. I really did not have much training in this area. So now I am learning and training my own children at the same time.
It is exciting to think about how prepared my daughter will be when she becomes a wife and mother. Since we are homeschooling, we have the time to teach, train and prepare our children for REAL life. No matter what they do, there will be dishes that need washing and clothes that need cleaning...so they may as well learn how!
I just wanted to share my excitement with you. It is a funny thing to blog about, but I have been truly blessed by a clean kitchen! When I wake up in the morning it is a little gift for me. It helps to start my day out happy!
Happy cleaning to you!!
