The weather is nice, the situation in my house is not. Don't get me wrong, we're far from being called in for an episode of Hoarders. But like many families with two small children, two dogs, a cat and an absent-minded, pregnant mother we have our mayhem and foolishness! So we're going to have Spring Cleaning week (month?) at the Rudd's! Follow along or join in clearing out your OWN mayhem and foolishness!

  2. HA! I also clean in just heels and an apron. It's disturbing to the kids, but it's never to early to begin traumatizing them.
