Life of a Housewife!

I am amazed daily at how in a matter of moments my beautiful clean house can become disastrous mostly due to 4 little pairs of feet. I straighten up the house before going to bed and these pictures show what my house looks like by 10 am. We have started a chore chart and the kids do a pretty good job at helping out around the house. As much as I feel like I am constantly cleaning and picking up after these four little rug rats, I wouldn't change my life for the world! I love being a mom, I love being a wife and I love that I get to stay at home and enjoy these moments!
My mud room before getting ready for school:
and after!

My kitchen before a meal:

and after!:) Ryan informs me that this picture doesn't do it justice....and he's right, this really is nothing!

Before projects:

and after!

This is evidence of a very small person:

Every Monday this is what I tackle... and like most moms, a job that never ends!

And after! Much more inviting! The sad thing about this room is by night time there is almost another full load of laundry with this family of six! (I do have wall baskets for the laundry, I'm not sure what quite happened in the above pic....oh that's right sick household= no laundry for 2 weeks=no more basket space!)

Brooke's corner one minuteAll cleaned up!

And 10 minutes later!

P.S. Notice my little sidekick in most of the pictures! I just love this little girl because I am still the center of her universe! It will be a sad day when she wants to play with friends and siblings instead of lil old me!
