I can't tolerate clutter in my home - except in my sewing room! As for cleaning, I do the minimum: clean the bathroom, vacuum when I feel it needs it (2dogs, 3 cats so more than once a week), dust when the grandkids start writing on the tables, and dishes have to be done every night. Can't stand a sink of dirty dishes in the morning! I raised 7 kids and lived on a farm for a dozen years, so I'm a little relaxed about housework. It will be there when I get around to it. There are other more important and fun things to spend my time on!
