keeping things orderly is one thing: i need at least one place that is clutter free so i can rest my eyes and keep some semblance of zen. other than that, we have toys everywhere. our interior design palate of subtle earthtones was overwhelmed by the glaring primary colors of a crayola box before our first child was ever born and it will never go back.
keeping things clean is another thing: i don't worry about dust, but mold and pockets of food that attract bugs are bad news. allergies run in our family, so we have to keep up on that and we also have a dog (his seemingly prehensile tounge is actually a great asset in keeping our feeding area clean). i've bought some pretty hefty air conditioning filters to get dust and dog hair down.
finding time to vaccuum is the hardest, the kids hate the sound of it and no dog likes it. sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.
