It had to do with home schooling. It was pretty cute - but the one little line I loved the most said something like "If the house is clean, she's probably behind in her home schooling. If she's staying on top of the home education, the house will not be clean. She can not do everything. If she worked 40 hrs outside of the house each week, you would not expect her house to be spotless." I think it was an email about how to encourage and support home schooling moms. Anyway - I loved that part and remind myself all the time that we LIVE here 24/7 and it's OK if our junk is sitting around. It's our house. Our junk. hee hee There was an email forward that was going around not too long ago. It had to do with home schooling.

Two boys, muddy backyard, no "mudroom" to keep the dirt contained. Yikes! Then there are things like popsicles and spaghetti which must be eaten in the messiest manner possible, of course. lol I had to learn this recently.

Well said. Beth, not to be corny [like Claire, lol]. But you are awesome and a huge inspiraton. Keep it up, and maybe if you are lucky the man really will pop out from behind the couch one day. j/k ;) Seriously, I do not know where I would be without you, your mom and Miriam. Thank you can never be said enough. Also, sadly I have the laundry and dish problem with three children. Congratulations, it took seven for you!!!!!! “How much more important are these than the materialistic looks of a sterile home that has been disinfected of all real living!”
