Posted on 26 January 2009 by generationsgoneby

It’s not scheduling, or washing clothes 24/7, or even my humongous LG washing machine, though all those help.

Hello! I don’t like to clean either. As a mom, I like to read blogs about housecleaning with ideas on how to clean easier, faster, etc. But a theme I see over and over again amongst women who don’t keep their homes tidy is, “I don’t like to clean.” Well, hello, [...]
