I found this article so helpful. I am not a natural home maker...I find even the most simple tidying awful and find it so difficult to stay focused on what needs to be done without making excuses of how to avoid te choes. I do not want to set a bad example for my son as he grows and want to provide him withe clean fresh home he deserves. These practical, step by step tips are wonderful - they set out the things I need to do each day and I tick each off as I go so I really feel I am getting something done, rather than one of a never-ending pile of tasks. Thank you. If anyone has some similar tips on how I can be a more efficient, organized and productive home maker, I'd love to hear them. email: deandavids76@hotmail.com
