Design Tip of The Day: A Tidy Home!

Keeping your home orderly and clean with kids is not an easy task as many of you moms know. Does your house look like this most of the time?

I don't have kids but when you live in a smaller home where every room gets used to the full, keeping up with it daily is needed. Jenny a fellow blogger at LGN shared this great cleaning list to help moms avoid the BIG cleaning day once a week. Today, life is too busy for some to set aside one full day of cleaning, so I think this list below is great. Just 30-40 minutes of fast paced cleaning and your home can look put together especially when the unexpected friend pops in! I have been using some of the points already and plan on using more soon.  Thanks Jenny!
