I am worried I am raising my kids to be clutterbugs too. My house is not dirty... just full of stuff. I find that I usually only have one clean room at a time... because as soon as I start cleaning another one, the first one starts getting cluttered. I have great plans to get things organized, but then I get too busy doing something else I would rather do. I also have too small a kitchen... since I hate to grocery shop I do HUGE shopping trips and then have limited cupboard space to put the food. It takes a few weeks to use up just the stuff on the counters. I only run to the grocery store for milk and bread and do a large grocery trip about once a month. So, when the counters get clean, I know it is getting time to do another big grocery trip.
I do have to say that my fabric is the most organized part of my house. I think that is because it is in our guestroom and nobody but me goes in there, unless we have a guest.
