vacuumed the floor yesterday. Was vaccuming again 2 hours later cause the kiddo wanted a musli bar. And it was then that it dawned on me: this is why my house looks like a dumpster fire most of the time. Unless I'm cleaning 24/7 it just aint gonna remain clean. Ah well.

People made the mistake of giving my kids grated cheese yesterday, they grab a handful and try to put as much into their mouth as they can. It's a nightmare of a mess because you can't just vacuum it. Leave it to dry and it could just get stomped into the floor. Sweep too hard and you could just smear it. We really shouldn't just offer them the bag to grab handfuls

Are they old enough to use it as a chopstick training medium?

I own a dog, dropped cheese is NEVER a problem.

Dog ownership should be a prerequisite for parenthood, if only to do the food clean ups!
