The Messy Lovable, Lovely Life

The Messy Lovable Lovely Life is just that!  You take a look at the imperfection of what's in front of you.  You  love it, look at it, relish it or.... leave it if you have to pick up the kids or go put in another load of laundry.  And then, at some point it looks like this:  Red Alert!


Yikes! How did it get this way?  ... One stop here, grab something there, pick up this, add a little of that ...and before you know it, too much is taken in while not taking other stuff out.  And it all looks a little out of place.  

What makes this messy life lovable and lovely is the Rule of Ten.  In just 60 seconds 10 small things can be put back in order.  A bit of trash here, the rubber band goes back over there, salt in the cupboard, scissors back in the drawer. If you're on the run, just do ten things and go.  There is always a little time to order this and straighten that.  It doesn't keep it all meticulously clean, but until life is less full of activities, events, kids, emails, school and work...it keeps the mess manageable and life lovable and lovely!
