I feel "akin" to you as so much of what you said is just like my home....[cept my room is always clean]
I feel when my kids go out in that big big world they will know how to keep a home lovingly.

my DDs have been helping since they were wee ones...its OUR home and we all take care of it....having something that you have to do once a week or every day will help you when your boss gives you a job or when you stay at home and need to have an organized home
