Is it just me? Domestic bliss...

[chubbin]

Something strange is happening to me, to explain:
1. The satisfaction I feel when the laundry basket is empty is reaching obscene levels. I smell my clean linen ffs!
2. I love cooking a healthy meal that my LO then eats more than half off. And Ive taken to baking cakes with LO of a Saturday morning...
3. If I dont hoover every other day, I get urges.
4. I wrote out a weekly rota this morning - a routine for LO and a plan of where my chores fit in, and I enjoyed doing it?
5. Im addicted to cleaning things with baby wipes - amazing cleaning product imo.
There's more, but Ill stop. I never used to be this way. Anyone else?

Nope not me, not at all. Do you want to come and do my house too?

 

[Nats21]

[Annabel]

I use to be! Now Im just do what I have to do!

I really should put the hoover around!!

I actually looked at your location. Somebody stop me

 

[jodidi]

lol, I didn't expect you to look. You seriously have a problem there

 

[chubbin]

Lol, Im turning into Monica from Friends!

I agree with most of that, but my difference is that I don't clean as often as I should so that's possibly why I feel like I'm on a high when I have cleaned Oh and yes, I LOVE cleaning with baby wipes! I find the ones that *aren't* fabric-y (I find Huggies wipes are fabric-y) work the best for cleaning.

Also, we use cloth nappies and I really enjoy washing them and hanging them out Just me?

Johnson's baby wipes are a fab degreaser - my husband uses them to wipe up after working on his bike!

And I also offer you my house to come and fix!

Ha ha I know what you mean. Im sure my pernickity mum would find something to run a finger across in my flat! Im just so much more into it than I ever was before. And if I could hang my washing on a line, Ive no doubt Id be dancing through it, caressing it and generally feeling complete in life. That extends to cloth nappies xx

I'm the same

I feel so good when I make up the bed, remove all the extra pillows & duvets, & spread my nice comforter on the bed

I was so proud today when Omar ate the veggie soup I cooked, & I was so happy after loading the dishwasher & cleaning the kitchen

I love living in a spotless, tidy house.

I looked at your location too! And I thought 'not too far'. Jeez, I really am quite mad...
Yes, baby wipes rule! I use Tescos own, and compared to a dripping watery cloth, they are the biz

Thank you, your post made me smile and feel vindicated. Making the bed up is one of my least favourite chores, but has one of the biggest pay offs

Oh this is TOTALLY me! I love cleaning! I just bought a range of cleaning products that smell lush:

Glass cleaner = passion fruit scent
Bathroom cleaner = coconut scent
Floor cleaner = pineapple scent

To say my house smells lush is in understatement. I actually enjoying going out so I can get that first lovely sniff when I walk through the front door

What a lovely idea! Where did you get these lovely sounding products? We are truly kindred spirits

Lol i love tidying and keepin a clean house! Btw huggies pure wipes are great for gettin dust off wooden furniture! Lol

I feel scruffy and on edge if i dont keep on top of the house, i think its rubbin off on lo as if she drops crumbs she starts wafting them with her hand
trying to 'clean' the mess lol x

 

[babyjiva]

yep, i'm the same. i was always a clean freak though and i love writing lists, cooking etc. i can't relax until my surroundings are clean and organized and my family is fed or ready to be fed

the only difference is now all of that takes longer and whereas it used to bring me happiness now it also brings me a great big does of relief. it probably burns a good 400 calories a day as I do it all every day like a real nutter. hehe

This is them https://www.ecobabe.com.au/b/17730/1/cinderella-cleaning-products.html

They are an Aussie brand, but they may ship to the UK. I love that they are environmentally friendly and don't have nasty chemicals but still clean very well. My favourite is the coconut bathroom cleaner. Some may say it is too "coconutty" but I love it. I scrub my tub more often than required, just because I love the smell

 

[Betheney]

i wasn't like this for the first 12 months but i now enjoy it. I used to be out of the house 5 days a week now i really really enjoy just staying home all day pottering around and cleaning.

BTW those cinderella cleaning products are vegan! YAY! lol

 

[Bumpontherun]

Me me me.
I don't get as much time to dedicate to cleaning as I'd like 'sigh'. If I have time I like to hang out the cloth nappies with all the simile ones together and each nappy next to it's own insert. Then when I take them off the line I put them all together and stack each girls seperately- ooh I want to photograph my washing basket with the big pile of clean nappies. I also love tidying Helens toybox!
