Matthew, we are so glad you stopped by. I am not very good with the whole maintenance thing. It took me 1.5 hours to clean my kitchen yesterday because I am not good at keeping my counters clean of clutter. So I had to go through the junk and clutter on my cabinets. At least I am honest. Maintenance is definitely the way to go.

Matthew: I agree that it’s easier to keep up with it regularly, but I disagree about how long it takes. I rarely do spring cleaning because I try to keep up with the cleaning each day. It is time consuming though. Yesterday I cleaned out my daughter’s sock and underwear drawer which took about 20 minutes. This is in addition to my regular cleaning, which takes a while with two little kids running around. Today I cleaned out my daughter’s toy bins and organized some things in her room. There’s always the dusting and wiping things down. What seems to be the most dreaded task for me is the mail. I have yet to find a system that works for me. We just moved and I hope to get my office set up soon. I hope to find a system that works well.

Thanks for dropping by.

People generally freak out about how much time it will take to clean the house when, if you just keep up with it regularly, it should only take a few minutes each day . . . .

I feel sometimes like I clean my kitchen and an hour later, it’s upside down again! I got so frustrated that I did something very unlike me… I bought something from an infomercial… lol! It’s called a Foldtuk container (www.foldtuk.com). I mean it does a lot of neat stuff, but what appealed to me the most is that it collapses really thin. It saved me a lot of room in my kitchen and has really made me feel more organized in general.
