This weekend I came across a piece of wall art on Catching Fireflies that said:

“Good Moms Have Sticky Floors, Dirty Ovens, and Happy Kids”
I feel better already. It comes as no surprise that it was sold out.

When I tweeted this saying and put it on my Facebook, it prompted a lot of responses and many Amens. Single Dads and Grandmas wanted in on it, too.

Happy Kids

Smiling kids. I know she draws better than me.
Note: All girls are princesses which explains the crowns.

Jessica suggested adding “something dripping in the fridge” to the list, which I totally agree with. I imagine the wall art could be expanded to cover the entire kitchen wall.

Some things I would include…

Two of about 50 paper people constantly showing up around the house. I think they are the cutest things!
Wait! Girls don't have noses?

• Unidentified moldy food in the back of the refrigerator.
• Pile of folded laundry on the top of the dryer.
• Living room floor covered in paper scraps from a paper doll project. –>
• Weeds in the flower bed
• Smudges on the sliding glass door
• Dusty ceiling fans

What would you add to the list?
