The House is a Mess

Have you ever found yourself at the end of the day, when the children have all gone to bed, look around your house and think, oh my what happened to this house, it looks like a bomb has hit it. There are only two of them, surely they can’t make that much mess.

I have this feeling most days, I just take a deep breath and start at one end of the house and work my way through to the other end, toys from one end to the other. It is pointless cleaning them all up during the day, as they just get them all back out again 10 mins later. I try to tidy up as we go, but sometimes it just gets a bit much, certainly when you are trying to cook dinner.

At least most of the time it is clean mess, and can be resolved by putting the toys in the boxes or bedrooms and all done.

I got these great storage cupboards from Ikea, all I do is throw all the toys in the boxes at the end of the day, all sorted. I know that they are all going to be emptied again the next day so I don’t sort them or anything, I did try sorting them all out once, I sorted into size toys, blocks, trains, trucks etc, but it drove me crazy so now they all go in together.  These ones are in the kitchen/dining room.

Of course the day that I write this the house doesn’t look to bad. Picture for you of the storage boxes in the Living Room, very tidy really, I should have done better than this, I will update if room messy tomorrow.
