Our home used to be lovely, pre-children. After they got here, all the really nice furniture was replaced (temporarily, in my mind) with things we didn't mind getting ruined. All my lovely porcelaine pieces have been carefully wrapped and stored and I've had to put aside my tendencies towards being a neat freak (one can only pick up toys so many times a day before one realizes the futility of it). But we do love the space and light because we have so many windows--now if I could just get over the tiny fingerprints all over them! :) (I say all this tongue in cheek, however; I'm happy to trade in all this for my children.)
