Dusting "A house becomes a home when you can write "I love you" on the furniture." I can't tell you how many countless hours that I have spent CLEANING! I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect -"in case someone came over". Then I realized one day that no one came over; they were all out living life and having fun! Now, when people visit, I find no need to explain the "condition" of my home. They are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing while I was away living life and having fun. If you haven't figured this out yet, please heed this advice. Life is short. Enjoy it! Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake a cake or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need? Dust if you must, but there's not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around again. Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind. And when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more dust! Share this with all the wonderful women in your life! It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

furniture."

However, if you have a good ostrich feather duster, you can dust your whole house in 15 minutes! Then you can have lots of fun but still have a clean house!

FlyLady all the way!

I love it Mindi

My motto is "It's not dust it's the new matte finish that I've decided to go in for:>)"

I wonder if my husband will go for that? I don't think so but sure will try it. Irene/Fl

I love the 'matte finish' and it could work, but what do I use for dog hair? texture?

Too cute!

Yep!:>) I have that too. It's called "living art":>)
