How a Messy Mom Cleans: The Goal

Our goal is not perfection.

Our goal is FUNCTION!  Function, people! 



Function – not perfection!


Are you with me? (or against me?)

How a Messy Mom Cleans


  1. Gosh, that's what I do... pick up, put away... general cleaning once a month doing the corners... our house is lived in, too!

  2. Amen to function!!!! I just had a moment of clutter everywhere and I went through the living room and kitchen and just decluttered, dusted, and cleaned all the counter tops! Made me feel so much better! I have been reading the Clean Mama blog. She has great ideas, but I just can't do it everyday that way. I have to do it in big spurts! Takes me longer, but it is my way. I am like you though, I get overwhelmed easily like with my office and the playroom. I have to take small chunks. I love your Function label! Works for me!!

  3. This is DEFINITELY something I can relate to. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind if I try and have a spic-n-span clean house while raising 4 kids and a farmer hubby, so I try to aim for picked-up and ready for a mother-in-law pop-in :) on a daily basis... I did spend 1 hour on my hands and knees scrubbing my kitchen floor on Saturday, my arms are STILL sore ;)
