Clean Sweep
Inviting family over for the holidays sounded like a good idea, I blithely told myself last September. But before I knew it, December crept up on me, and the house was still the same pastel-pink, Hello Kitty-fied mess it had been for months. My relatives had to move nursing pillows out of the way to make room on the sofa and step around the Pack 'n Play to find the dining room table.
It's easy to feel defeated by kid clutter, but you don't have to spend days doing a top-to-bottom cleaning. "You'd be surprised how quickly you can straighten up in only five minutes," says Stacey Crew, author of The Get Organized Guide for New Moms (Clear Vision Organization). Put your efforts into the following speed-cleaning strategies, and even Great-Aunt Sylvia won't find fault with your house.

I picked up several ideas about what to do quick when company is coming. Some I already do, like washing the sheets for their bed just before they come. Or at least put them on the bed at the last minute since they are already washed and packed away in plastic. Cleaning off the countertops and a little nice smelling polish on wood and tabletops is good. So is baking something -- makes the whole house smell good. Anything. Great ideas! Thank you.
