IK - your DP sounds like my DH. He gets home and dumps everything and anything in the kitchen. I move it and then I find something else back there ARHHHHHH!!! I agree with Bath, if the kitchen is clean, everything else looks clean. We have a huge open plan kitchen and family room, so I really like keeping the kitchen clean. Let DP have his moment of domestic glory - tell him what a great job he's done LOL!!!! Open fire today would be perfect, wish the sun would appear. Regarding the cup, I've never thought of that. I feel silly asking but what cup should I try? I think because she is teething, she just wants to chew her hands or bib constantly. How is Oscar with the teething?

Bath - did I miss the post about DH's party? If I did, hope it went really well and your cake was a hit! Paper clutter is a huge issue here. Everything just gets chucked in a draw!!
