  1. You are so lucky to have your sticky floors and the life that creates them! Love your blog!

  2. This is great encouragement. As mums I think we all need to strike the right balance of clean homes but homes where we can live, have fun and share together and allow life to happen without stressing.
    Thanks so much for sharing at Essential Fridays.

  3. I’m learning this lesson, too. Well – the balance between not cleaning enough [when I’m feeling lazy], and spending all of my time cleaning. This is so beautifully written. Thank you for the blessing!

    I’m your neighbor over at the Better Mom link-up 🙂

  4. I feel like you wrote this right out of my thoughts – I feel the same way and it’s taken me years to realize it (and it still bugs me at times) but I don’t clean the floors as often as I used to either and it’s better that way!

  5. Haha…yes. I have carpets…and it really frightens me to think of the layers of filth hidden in them. But the same logic applies! Great analogy. Found you through Momma Notes linkup

  6. I have wood floors too – I chose them over putting carpeting in when we built our house. I do understand about the sticky floors and children and pets and housecleaning and schedules and routines.
    Thank you for the reminder to step back and keep my perspective, to take time for what must be done but focusing on the better things as well.

  7. I would love to have bare surface floors… we have some pretty old and not pretty carpet… ugh… but again, the stains and the mess are because we have six awesome kids still at home… and with big teenaged boys come big teenaged feet. And living in rural Idaho (our choice and we love it) means those big teenaged feet often come in covered with mud…

    Thanks for the reminder to keep my attitude positive!

  8. You may have a sticky floor but you have an awesome family. Others don’t have sticky floor but they don’t have a family that LIVE with it (notice that?). Kalia Floors

  9. Omg! You would hate my house. My floor gets swept and mopped once every six to eight months. I have a special needs kiddo, have to constantly cook and do laundry, we have food all over the walls, lol! I am trying to get a business up and running, so wheN the kids are school, that is when that happens. How do you do it? I would love to have a clean house.
