I am a bit of a neat freak. I am a mother of preschool-age triplets. Those two things do NOT generally mix well. I usually find myself staying up very late each night trying to tidy up the huge messes they make. I’ve tried getting them involved, because I know that’s important. But…I’m also super practical. I’ve discovered the obvious. I can do it so much more quickly (and more thoroughly) without their involvement.

I found a great article full of tips. I hope it helps!
