I heard the best thing you can do for other mom friends is not clean your house when they come over so kudos to you for being the best friend of all!!!!
You're kids may be too young for this, but my biggest life change, sanity saver has been the institution of 5 o'clock clean up. We switch up the incentives and music, but at 5 my kids are each assigned 2 rooms and that room has to be spotless before the time runs out, or else they don't win dessert for the night. Or sometimes there is a secret item that needs to be picked up in the house and whichever kids cleans it up, they get the prize. And just wait into legos enter the picture!!
So I stumbled across your Ah-dorable blog {I am only a week old} ;) this post seriously makes my day, my house looks just like this and instead of cleaning I decided to be online.... Um pretty much thank you mucho for posting these pictures... U r my new fav.... Xo
