When you feel that cleaning or laundry or household chores
come before time with family or friends…
Let it bee.
When anxiety or worry steals the joy
of the moment you are in…
Let it bee.
When you think that your parenting
falls short of the “super” mom or dad next door…
Let it bee.
When your dinner is burnt or undercooked or less than gourmet,
but your family is gathered around the table anyway…
Let it bee.
When you look in the mirror and critique what you see,
thinking you are too big or too little or too this or too that,
but you have a loved one that thinks you are the bee’s knees…
Let it bee.
Let it bee, Let it bee, Let it bee, Let it bee…..
Whisper words of wisdom…
Let it be.
Bee Happy!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Hub is OCD about cleaning so it’s a big conflict in this house. He wants me to clean more but he cleans way before I even see anything that needs cleaning. Argh! I don’t see the point of cleaning if it won’t look any different when I’m done. It’s shiny already and will be shinier after? Nope. It better be dull when I start out. lol! I love your outlook on this. I guess Merv is on board with it too? Lucky you. 💜💛

I used to be a bit more obsessed with cleaning and I think I could use a little bit more of that now LOL but I do get a little help by having someone come in once a month. 😉

Haha yeah. We used to have people come every two weeks. They always insisted the house was clean when they got here and Hub said they weren’t doing a good job, so that didn’t last very long lol. (And the house was clean when they got here, they were right).
Anyway…..let it beeeeeeeeeee is my motto. Paint more. Clean less. LOL

Hello I was wondering where I could purchase that bee picture. It would look adorable in my Waxing studio called The Waxing Bee.
