When i have visitors, sometimes i have to ask them to find some space to sit. Yes, you need to locate one because sometimes my house looks like a play school of some sort, toys everywhere, dolls, books and snacks on the seat and the like and somethings are just upside down. The beauty of it is that i am okay with the way it looks because i know it is just for a season, i do not want to go nutty trying to tidy up all the time and yellling at my kids every-time they throw a pile of toys on the carpet. I once read a book by Joyce Meyer and she was narrating how she regrets having to be all clean and tidy when her four kids were growing up. If she were to do it again, she says she would allow her kids just to be kids. So tell me Mums, how is it for you? Are you going crazy trying to keep things in order in your house? Do you need to do so?
This is the view you get from the door sometimes.
You would think some hurricane passed by.
Look at my puffs, my children like rolling them around the house.The baby gym at the corner sometimes became a field for jumping. The only thing i must mention though is that as much as they do this, the same little hands pick every single item and return them where they belongs even if it takes 30minutes to do so. Teaching responsibility is a must. We have a song that we sing that as we tidy up
"Every body tidy up
Tidy up x3
Every body tidy up-Just like mummy"
You have to make tidying up fun too.
