I love Mondays! 

That’s because Monday is the day our fabulous housekeeper Katie arrives to transform our home back into a thing of organized and sanitized beauty. 

It’s not that we can’t take care of all of the housekeeping tasks that Katie oversees - it’s just that we’d really rather not.  And go figure, she’s one of those people who actually loves cleaning.   When she’s finished for the day we can actually eat off the kitchen floor - and I don’t mean the crumbs that tend to collect during the week.

Lots of people suffer from CHAOS

… the Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome.  In our busy busy lives, clutter runs amok and we begin to curtail our in-home social activities.  Even more sadly, our homes stop being a place of refuge and turn into a place of refuse.  Hiring Katie to keep things under control is a great gift of balance we give ourselves each week.

If you can’t afford the luxury of your own Katie, the Happy Slob offers some practical cleaning tips with a sense of humour.  Or if you want to bring a smile to your face check out Fifteen Secret Shortcuts to Housekeeping Your Mother Never Told You.
