Have you ever thought about how far a compliment can take someone?
A couple of weeks ago my parents were visiting when one of them made the simple but genuine statement, "Leanne, your house is always so clean.", and the other was quick to agree. Now let's take a step back.
From my perspective, my house is not clean. There are four boys (five including hubs). Weekends and evenings involve soccer, homework, Legos, Hot Wheels, running, jumping, playing. Although all of us are involved in one shape or form in keeping the house tidy (to the extent it can be)
I am the cleaner. and cleaning is just not my thing. I love a clean house, I hate the process. I put off the process. I do what I can to make the process as simple as possible
