Top-Notch Crew Cleans our House to Perfection! Coronavirus Update - Day 67 and Counting...

After our grueling day of organizing yesterday, I didn't think the kids would be game for cleaning the house today. Boy was I wrong. Garin was up dusting bright and early and couldn't wait to report back to me how well he had done. After I filled my crew up with a big pancake breakfast, they were off and running. We had cleaned most of the upstairs yesterday so all we had left was the downstairs. It went smashingly! The kids worked so hard (except for Miles, who wasn't too enthused) and did a great job. They had a great attitude and kept asking if they could do extra jobs. I wish some of the housekeepers I have had in the past (excluding my beloved Aurora who was with me for over 20 years), would have shown such enthusiasm. Like yesterday, the kids were proud of themselves for having taken on and conquered such a big project. They learned a lot about cleaning and seemed to enjoy the process. Our house looks amazing. Everything is in its place, clean and sparkling. I am grateful tonight not only for my clean house but for my kids, who continue to surprise and impress me, every day.

The delicious pancake breakfast I prepared for my crew to get them energized and motivated to clean.
