I really enjoy reading the posts at Like Mother Like Daughter . Her (or I guess it's their) thoughts on housekeeping are always helpful for me, since I grew up without learning a lot of the ins and outs of keeping house. I've gleaned some things from my mil (like filling the sink with soapy water before you start cooking - genious!) but I always enjoy learning more. Any other good housekeeping blogs out there?

ETABearing Blog I like this post, and she has some other interesting posts (although not exclusively a homekeeping blog).

Are you wanting straight housekeeping ones? I've been pursing more home decorating ones lately, (if I went all white I'm sure my house would never stay that clean) so I could give a few of that type. They aren't Catholic though so don't have that extra dimension LMLD does.
Oh Lazy Moms housekeeping and tips have some great ideas.

Thanks Lara and Erin! I will bookmark these sites. I need all the inspiration I can get! Actually, the fact that I am looking for some on-line ideas means I AM inspired. Now I just need to put that inspiration to work!
Erin, I welcome Home Decor ideas as well - as long as I don't have to build an addition to use them  .
I've been feeling lately that I need to do some sprucing up around here - cleaning yes, but just general beautify-ing as well. Maybe it's the winter "cabin fever" that has me feeling this way but I thought it would be a good idea to act while I'm inspired!
Lara, I thought it was interesting that you linked to the Baring Blog. I remember reading that post some time ago, but I don't normally read that blog. So I went to the main page and there is a post about "The Devout Life". I thought that was neat because I just started re-reading my copy of that book. It will be interesting to read the author's insights.

Becky, I'm finding that changing out just one or two things and reducing clutter in a room helps it feel *fresh* in the decorating.
for instance I have a high shelf in the living room with things up there.. and of course I had more during Christmas. I took down a pretty wood trivet/bowl my FIL made over Christmas.. and I decided to leave it down for a while.. it went into my buffet with the china. And put my "Believe" sign in it's place.. just that tiny change and it looks so nice and fresh without needing to do a lot.
