Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's Off to Clean I go...
We all have housework....it is part of being a "happy housewife"! Some of it I honestly enjoy, some of it I don't mind, and parts of it I dread. I honestly enjoy doing laundry. There is something about a large pile of clean folded laundry that gives me such a feeling of accomplishment! I love to organize closets and cabinets. Unfortunately, I have had to hold back my obssession with this since one of my children's favorite pastimes is to unorganize them. On the flip side, since we have moved into our new home the dusting is NEVER ENDING. It seems as if I dust and within an hour the dust has returned. It doesn't help that we have a lot of black in our home (countertops, tables, fireplace surround, etc) that shows off the dust so very nicely! I am also not a big fan of cleaning toilets....but then again who is?! I have discovered that one of my favorite ways to do housework is to crank up the radio really loud and dance around like a rockstar with my children while I do it. I am sure if anyone could see in my windows they would be sure I lost my mind, BUT my daughter now asks with delight, "Mommy, can we CLEAN today?!!!!" I'm curious...what is your favorite and least favorite part of housework?? Just post a comment to let me know. If you are unsure how to do that just click on the small "comment" icon at the bottom of this blog post (it will actually say "1 comment" or however many there are) and then type out your comment. It will then ask you to retype a few letters (this is to reduce spam). After that you click on "name" and type in your name, OR you are more than welcome to click "anonymous" and I won't be able to tell who you are, but I can still read your comment. I am anxious to know what the other "Happy Housewives" out there are thinking about this subject!

I don't like to clean my kitchen, but I feel so good when it is done! So that has to be my favorite. PLEASE come do my laundry! HA!
Favorite 'clean' things... closets, drawers, and refrigerators. Love to clean them, and SEE them sooo nice whenever I open them! I also really like just swept carpeting, and clean, crispy sheets! I least like doing laundry and ironing (ugh!!!).
I like to clean the living room and our glass end tables. I also like to sweep with Kallie and Lilly helping me. We all do a little dance while sweeping!! We call it Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake your Booty!! Can't get Caleb to join in!! Kat just laughs and shakes her head!!! Hey Jamie, could you come over and Organize our Closets!!
We love You,
Give Kisses to Jaden and Eva for us,

Ok, I agree with you I don't mind doing laundry, it's the putting it away that is THE WORST! Seriously...when we have dirty laundry everything fits in our drawers...when it's all clean we've somehow run out of room! (hmm maybe I should do laundry more often! haha) but I'm like you Hayden and I JAM when we clean...he's usally running around with the broom or trying to pick up the vaccum saying "MAMA MAMA MAMA" wanting me to help him! Our black furniture in the basement is the worst...I totally know what your talking about!
Housework...it may sound strange but I enjoy it very much...I also enjoy the end result. I have said before I was born in the wrong decade...I could so clean in a dress like in the 50's :) It is very gratifying to have a clean house and all the laundry caught up. Of course time with Tess is the priority so I often find myself running around like a crazy woman getting it done at naptime or at 9:00 at night! However, Tess is at the age that she loves to help Mommy so we make it a fun learning experience. We have a great time together!
