Thankful Thursday: A Clean and Tidy House

When baby Claire is crying, and my back is hurting, and I haven't slept properly in days....at least my house is clean. It is a simple thing really, but when Claire and I are at our worst it makes everything so much better having a calm, clean and orderly house. Its not spic and spam by any means, I wouldn't eat off the floor or anything. And I am a fan of creative clutter. But everything is in its place. The dishes are always done, and the laundry folded and away. This brings me such peace. It feels good to have a tidy home. I love the lines my vacuum cleaner leaves behind on the carpets, the smell of freshly burning incense, the look of neatly folded granny blankets on the arms of the couch, ready for a cuddle. I love my home, it brings me such joy and peace! I am linking up with this awesome grateful blog hop, check it out if you blog too! xo

  5. It's hard getting it done with a 3 mos old but it is so worth it! My house certainly does not look perfect and I am glad, but things are in their place. Clutter makes a loud brain louder!!!
