Actually, Mom had, for the longest time, a little cross-stitched picture hanging in our house that said:
"My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy."
I live that now because I'm really a lousy housekeeper. But it's true. I've been in a couple houses that were so clean and "perfect" that I was afraid to sit on the couch or touch anything! How can anyone really *live* in a sterile-clean house? I think clutter makes it feel like home... and if anyone doesn't agree, they can just not come over to my place! Haha.
