If you live in a busy family home, like me, you'll know that mess has a way of building up almost without you noticing. One minute the living room is tidy, the next it's scattered with toys, books, soft play and the general everyday chaos of everyday life with little ones.
I have two daughters. One is three, and the other is six, and while they bring endless energy and fun, they are brilliant at making a mess and they've never been particularly keen on clearing it all up again. As a working mum, I often find myself feeling pretty overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff that needs to be dealt with at the end of every day. Full house resets just aren't realistic for us, and asking the girls to tidy usually leads to a fair amount of resistance. Although who am I to judge? I don't really want to clear up either!
