at least once a week we play the "where does this belong?" game. you pick up socks in the kitchen, letters on the dining room table, soaps on the kitchen counter that should have been delivered to the bath. Cat food still in the bag near the animal cabinet. You know, all those things that are out of place. My husband has more shoes than any man I know. He has hiking boots, walking shoes, garden boots, rain boots, house slippers...its maddening! Why do they all have to be in the kitchen?

I find that taking a laundry basket from room to room helps. I add all the things that dont belong in the room I am in, and drop off all the items that do. Of course the cat thinks its time to jump in the basket to play.

I do love a clean house
