There is no question about it. Cleaning as a parent has a whole new meaning than it did before I became a mom. The amount of messes made in our house on a daily basis? Countless. The number of times I follow the kids around to make sure they don’t spill? Lost count about 3 years ago. Guess what - I still and will continue to have to do those for at least another 17 years (when Graham goes to college). However, being home with the kids has given me a chance to discover some incredibly useful and practical cleaning hacks. I can’t begin to tell you how much more efficient some of these have made my life which is why I am sharing them today, in hopes they will do the same for you!
