A tidy house is a tidy mind….or is it?

“We live for the 17 seconds when the laundry basket is empty”

A tidy house leads to a tidy mind right? But we all know that its just not possible to maintain the level of housekeeping we may have done pre children. It’s important to first of all accept that. Accept that things may not be as pristine and as tidy. Secondly try and get into a simple routine.

• Make the beds
• Empty Dish washer (if you have one)
