I am a clean freak and clean as I walk from 7 am to 10 pm this is a normal thing for me! I have designated areas where the kids play and toys dont come out of the room..we have several activities during the day like dancing, reading, crafts, etc which some are done in my kitchen table. I like my house to be spotless all the time but it does not mean kids are not allowed to move or make mess.. Kids follow my house rules from day 1!! regardless of age. At the end of the day everyone is happy and learn the most important lesson..Respect and discipline.
