* Your toddler isn't hungry at lunch because he's been snacking all morning off the food on the floor...

* Instead of wiping the counter and table off, you'll make better time sweeping it...

* Rather than sweeping the floor, you'll make better time vacuuming it...

* There's no silverware in the drawer, so you have to take silverware out of the dishwasher, and then wash it (since the dishwasher hasn't run yet)...

* You're okay with sharing your home with a mouse and/or other small rodents rationalizing, "Hey, at least they're picking up!"

* There's more than one science project on mold in the fridge... and you're not studying mold in science...

* You avoid cleaning out the fridge so it looks like you have a lot of food (and hey... the toddler's full!)

* You burn a candle that smells like food (apple pie, brownie, angel food cake, ect.) so upon the visit of a surprise guest, it smells as if you've been busy slaving away baking, instead of cleaning...

* You turn the ceiling fan on so you can't see the layer of dust on the blades...

* The dust bunnies are so big, your toddler has named them and affectionately refers to them as his pets...

* You "self-clean" the oven and the children gather 'round to watch the "pretty fire" burn inside...

* You take the phrase "spot cleaning" to a whole 'nother level... ("there's a spot that needs to be cleaned... there's another spot... oh, and I need to get that spot...")

If you can relate to any (or all of these)... go take 15 minutes to pick up your kitchen... your family will thank you! I'm setting the timer for mine...


Amy Verlennich is a "bride" to her best friend, Michael, and homeschool mom to six precious blessings. If you ask her, she would tell you her interests include; "writing, I think I'd really love to sew, and I'm sure I'd be a great maid (if the pay was good). Other than that, I'm 'just' a mom who starts every day over (after messing SOMEthing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and I'm so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve." Michael and Amy make their home in Staples, Minnesota.
