What does it mean to naturally build a lifestyle where kids are engaged with writing and reading and it's, it's pleasurable. And I started to feel like they were more natural to me.

And then she would say it's Tuesday vacuum the living room and I would vacuum the living room and then on. And so I would I'd stop what I was doing and clean out a drawer. She'd send an email it would say, stop what you're doing and do a five minute drawer clean out. And I started following her instructions. And I signed up for a series of emails from the fly lady, which a lot of people know she's world famous. So I realized one day that I did not have those skills. Some people take a lot of pleasure in getting things organized and clean, and I just get depressed. So back when I was raising my kids, I had five of them and we had an average sized house and it felt like things were cluttered and chaotic all the time.
