Clean House

There's nothing like an impromptu visit from your Mother in Law to trigger a mad cleaning spree.
I started with my closet that I had been neglecting for months (see heaping pile of shoes) and hours later, totally exhausted, made my way onto the rest of our apartment, just in time for her arrival this morning.

    hahaha Yep, I imagine that will do it. I feel like all mothers and mother-in-laws should be required to give at least 3-5 days notice of arrival just for mental preparation alone!

    Haha, this made me laugh for awhile -- it's like what I do to my dorm room when my parents are coming for a visit!

    Too funny! My closet looked like yours for quite some time! I don't have a MIL, but my daughter said why does my closet have to be clean and yours looks like this? Good point!
    Have a wonderful friday!
