Spent All Night Cleaning My Bedroom

I feel like most of my life right now is spent battling my toddler for control of my house. While I am cleaning up one thing, she's on the other side of the room dumping something out and making a new mess. It's awesome.
Last night, while I was getting her some milk, she took off her diaper, pooped and peed on my pillow, and while I was cleaning it up, I stepped on a picture frame and shattered it all over the carpet. So I spent all this night cleaning, so we can do it all over again.
Sure I had other things that I wanted to do, but now that my surroundings are a little cleaner, I can think. I loved to declutter. Not spending time cleaning, but knowing that I've lightened my load.
So now that I can focus a bit, I think I will make one of my other daughters a pencil bag for her first day of first grade. I hope she likes it! I'm going to post it here when I'm done. Also on the agenda, writing a blog post on my personal blog about the benefits of giving a toddler their own cell phone. I know it sounds crazy, but in this age of technology, it is very useful. I use one as sort of a nanny cam for my toddler and 6 year old. Plus she can watch Moana while her brother plays XBOX and take cute pictures of her family. I like it when technology brings people closer together rather than push people apart.
Hope you are having a fabulous day!

Oh dear, it's pretty hopeless trying to keep a spotless house when you have young children.
