They need folding wicker screens to create. Section around the kitchen, otherwise the woman will be working all day tidying up that area. Others have said open kitchens make them feel they are in the same room all the time. I have a hidden kitchen but still visitors try to go I it. Well that is the purpose of a kitchen that is out Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-60651012384233579222014-04-14T12:51:52.468-07:002014-04-14T12:51:52.468-07:00You know what drives me nuts?

I surely wish that I could shut a door when people come over (and there are always people here, I have three teenagers!) so they do not have to see my dishes, or the fact that I need to wipe the counters down and sweep the floor again.

Susan, yes its nice to be reminded of basic housekeeping principles.<br /><br />Whenever I am ill, my family wants me to stay away from the kitchen and nit do any housework Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-79426901111706678782014-04-12T18:53:40.190-07:002014-04-12T18:53:40.190-07:00Of course I understand what you are saying.

My message is for ladies at home who may have got behind in clean up due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness. I myself am recovering from an illness that is going around, so my housekeeping has had to be neglected and there are dishes in the sink.

It's worth a read to jog the memory every once and awhile. It also helps me to review the steps so that if I am showing someone else how to do it I can explain it better.

I included those because of young ladies who really have never had the training at home. I am not implying that women are too stupid to do these things. It is for those who are interested.

Now, this doesn't mean that at every instance every square inch of the house is in perfect arrangement..what it DOES mean, is that there are no dirty dishes, no major messes, and that things are picked up and tidy before we step out to church, errands, for something fun, etc.<br /><Rightthinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448900188921522323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-6416069256614609782014-04-09T13:41:38.439-07:002014-04-09T13:41:38.439-07:00Dear Lydia, I think house cleaning is something th...Dear Lydia, I think house cleaning is something that helps keep me in order ;o) I feel like I can think better when the home is tidy. But I have always felt that keeping the living room in good order is so much easier to not feel overwhelmed. I have always made sure my kitchen is clean and tidy before going to bed, I do not like to wake up to yesterdays mess! I have been busy as a Bee myself.

It makes it look like you are getting it all done, even if you are still sorting things in the laundry room. It's the orderly room that makes you see light at the end of the tunnel.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-75560745213786858912014-04-09T13:08:53.481-07:002014-04-09T13:08:53.481-07:00I have found that keeping things orderly especiall...I have found that keeping things orderly especially at the entrance of your home is not only beneficial in case of company but it also sets the tone for the homemaker who may be returning home from marketing or a day out. More than one of my friends have told me how discouraged they were when they returned home and were greeted by a disorderly mess. Many times this was because the homemaker was Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485255900269180528noreply@blogger.com
