Well, I don't have kids, but I could certainly identify with this fear. When I know that people will be visiting my home I like to have it looking clean and presentable.

But, pity the fool that drops in unannounced! They will be greeted by a very embarrassed hostess who quickly tries clear a place for them to sit down, and they will likely leave with cat fur clinging to their clothes.
Needless to say - this is not how I want to live!
So, time to get organised. But I have done that many times before. So really what is needed is a plan that not only helps me to get organised but also helps me stay that way. Felton's book has encouraged me to get a strong visual image of the beautiful home I want to achieve. Now to see if I can continue to work toward that goal!
