Bath Shower Home Design

I absolutely adore a clean home .  But the second one thing gets out of place, or I notice one water spot on the bathroom mirror , you better hope that I’m having a good day.  If not, it’s going to be time for a showdown. Okay, I may not be that bad ( you’d have to ask my hubby and kiddos ), but I’m pretty adamant on keeping a well organized, extremely clean home . With five people living in our house, three of them being age 10 and younger, sometimes, okay a lot of the time, that’s hard.  The children don’t fully understand why it’s not acceptable to leave their shoes laying wherever they took them off, or why little bitty LEGO pieces need to be put away as soon as their done playing with them.  Obviously, they’ve never stepped on one of those boogers in the middle of the night while running to see what’s wrong with a crying child.
