Lots of homework! lol its never ending :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784825966340743698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353166892329944748.post-63658382660357799992010-07-26T16:47:11.754-04:002010-07-26T16:47:11.754-04:00Wow, you've done a LOT!

...Wow, you've done a LOT! The room looks great!<br /><br />A friend gave me this tip regarding housekeepers: she has a service come in twice a year to do a huge deep clean - tops of curtain rod cleaning, I call it - and then does the maintenance cleaning herself. Not as easy as having a regular service, but maintenance cleaning like sinks and toilets can be more easily chopped up into weekday slices than big cleaning, like scrubbing all your baseboards.<br /><br />Anyway, to answer your question, we have a childcare provider who also helps with cleaning. When she is gone, I'm not sure what we're going to do. In fact, the thought scares me a little. :)Champagne on Tuesdayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774014824759593567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353166892329944748.post-5979861590756938802010-07-26T15:09:01.129-04:002010-07-26T15:09:01.129-04:00I already said it on Twitter but this room is TOO ...I already said it on Twitter but this room is TOO CUTE!

Comming from a land where labor is really inexpensive almost everyone I know (this includes my Mom, Sisters, friends,etc) back home has a housekeeper or cleaning lady.<br />MY MIL has one too and things ran so smoothly while where there. She also loved my little guy and watched him for a few hours while we ran errands. So worth it I say. Here it would be very difficult for me to find someone as OCD as I am.nina@themissadventuresofninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09679333311052160580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353166892329944748.post-12373661783260594422010-07-26T12:37:47.395-04:002010-07-26T12:37:47.395-04:00girl...get a cleaning service! ask some of your o...girl...get a cleaning service! ask some of your other Mommy friends in your area and I am sure that they could give you a name of someone that they use!!<br /><br />The light...awesome!

I know boys that would do a lot for such a room...<br />As for the housekeeper: My son's babysitter helps me out with the house for a couple of hours once a week. it does take a burden off me, but sometimes it's quicker doing everything myself, especially as i always need to be with her and instruct her (not bc i don't trust her, but nobody will ever see what needs to be done like yourself).Chedva @Rooms and Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455663512696981450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353166892329944748.post-30567072751043053612010-07-26T10:48:32.139-04:002010-07-26T10:48:32.139-04:00Looking Great!

Fact is, you'll still find yourself cleaning certain things because a housekeeper never does *quite* the job you'd do with your own house... but I know my mom always had one come and it certainly helped her keep up to date with things. <br /><br />The housekeeper would do general cleaning and my mom would focus on cleaning out the pantry, the closets or doing bigger tasks. <br /><br />It's worth a go, if it's in the budget!<br />ABCDABC Dragoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182665704226441175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353166892329944748.post-1392195190745756462010-07-26T10:46:30.800-04:002010-07-26T10:46:30.800-04:00I love it!
