Welcome to BB

I agree - it is just not possible to have a spotless house with small children. The best thing to do is to set priorities and realistic expectations. I make sure that the bathroom is cleaned at least once a week and that the kitchen is kept hygenic (so if I don't have the motivation to do the dishes, just rinse and stack them, etc). Vacuuming and sweeping gets done most days as needed. Laundry doesn't always get put away, but meh...
