I am so glad that you are feeling good about your efforts - you should be!<br /><br />I found two things that you said very interesting...<br /><br />1. You said "But, I have a small kitchen and this is my reality. I won't ever be able to have clear counters the way I want."<br /><br />I don't think this is true - and you should not allow yourself to believe this. If you do - you are dooming yourself to a life of cluttered counters.<br /><br />If you really want clear counters in a small kitchen with small children in the home, you just have to get a little more vigilant about what you really and truly need to keep in your kitchen and how you utilize the storage space you have available to you.<br /><br />2. You also said that you hope you can keep your house looking tidy after your guest leaves. You can accomplish that goal if you constantly remind yourself of it. Print off these before and after pictures and put them up on your fridge. Every time you are tempted to just set something down anywhere thinking that you will deal with it later, remind yourself of your goal.<br /><br />The most important thing is to keep up the good work and keep doing things that make you feel proud of yourself! You go girl!!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470499109764933695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38916455.post-87867176514359512412009-04-24T11:42:00.000-04:002009-04-24T11:42:00.000-04:00Way to go!

My kitchen is also small- if the countertops are empty, it's only because I moved everything to the table to clean them!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658147972290622930noreply@blogger.com
