About two months ago, I made a decision that would forever change my life for the better...
I got a maid service.
I know what you're thinking...
"Wow - she must be rich." (No, we're not.)
"Doesn't she only work part-time? She only has one kid. She has plenty of time to clean!" (I know, I know!)
Y'all.
It is SO worth it.
They come every other week. I still pick up millions of toys, do countless loads of laundry, load-unload-load-unload-load-unload the dishwasher, vacuum tumbleweeds of dog hair daily and sweep up puffs and Cheerios that are scattered all over the floor.
But to know that I don't have to do the deep cleaning that my house needs is so...freeing!! I was really starting to feel dragged down by all the cleaning. And a dirty house bothers me so much more now that I'm home...in it all day.
And on the days when the maids come to clean - when I get home from running errands and my house looks like something out of a magazine...ahhhhhh. Such an amazing feeling.
I know it's an extra expense. And I'm blessed that we are able to afford it.
But I'm so happy I did it!

We have one too and it's the most amazing thing ever. She does our "deep cleaning" and I (try to) keep the house straightened. I would gladly pay what we do to never EVER clean a toilet again! So worth it!
Good for you!! You know what, I've thought about this a ton. I almost feel guilty for wanting to do it because I stay at home, but sometimes it's exhausting getting every little nook and cranny all the time. I think if we had the extra cash, I'd totally do it, though, as a gift to myself for doing every thing else! haha
We have a cleaning lady and she is my saving grace! She was my "Christmas present" when I was pregnant with Liam and working full time, and we love her so much she is still with us 2+ years later! I agree there is still tons to do around the house, but it's such a nice treat to have someone else do the deep cleaning :)
i want to kiss my cleaning lady when she comes!! she is my most favorite person ever :)
