Sometimes I look at blogs (one in particular, which I kind of think you might be thinking of) where the mom complains that she is so messy, and I think, "yeah, but when all your kids toys are from easy and impossibly cute and vintage and they are all over your perfectly it old apartment or on that vintage couch -- DUH YOUR MESS IS ENDEARING!!!" <br /><br />But I love your breakdown of tidy vs. clean. I hate cleaning, and much prefer tidying, but I am sure when I have little ones, I will have to pick one and forgo the other and I will go with clean any day. <br /><br />~Hannah<br />Also, your wood floors are beautiful.
