That's funny you say that, NA, cause before we left on our trip, one thing I really wanted to do was to leave the house as clutter free and clean as possible so that the kids {dah, 21, 19 today and 23} couldn't use the clutter as an excuse to let it get worse. {I do pick up the clutter but I like so much of it: books, toys, cds, pictures, I keep them around}.
Anywho, so I was working on this and it was looking pretty nice. My son in law to someday be said 'Oh, are we having company?'
But yes, the house looks great for parties, guests, etc. But we use it full on every day. Probably could consider it my big giant purse?
