I am grateful for our pillowcase monster named Mr. Gobbles.


On Sunday a couple of ladies shared how to achieve a clean house every night.  Are you ready for this miraculous revelation?!  So here it is.  You take a regular pillowcase and decorate it to look like a monster.  You give the children a time limit to tidy up their toys around the house, and then after the time is up, the pillowcase monster arrives to gobble up any left over toys.  In order for Mr. Gobbles to "regurgitate" the toys, the kids must do extra chores.

Hallelujah!  We have done it every night this week, and I can't tell you how good it feels to wake up to a tidy house.  It makes tackling dishes, dusting, washing walls, cleaning toilets or folding laundry not seem so insurmountable.  I love mothering tricks!
