Todavía estoy aprendiendo sobre mi hogar. Si no puedes hacerlo tú mismo, busca buenos profesionales de servicio y trátalos bien. — Terry (madre de nuestra Coordinadora de Recursos Humanos, Louisa)
Levanta la mano si creciste con una madre (u otra figura paterna) que te recordaba constantemente que limpiaras tu habitación. A menudo, nuestros primeros recuerdos de cómo ordenamos y cuidamos nuestros hogares son con nuestras madres: nos enseñaron a lavar la ropa, a fregar los platos y a hacer la cama. Así que no debería sorprendernos que, cuando les pedimos a nuestras madres sus mejores consejos para el hogar, nos dieran excelentes consejos.

Our spring cleaning journey has been about turning over some lesser-cleaned leaves and refreshing your space to feel brand new for the season ahead.

Raise your hand if you grew up with a mom (or another parental figure) constantly reminding you to clean your room. Often, our earliest memories of figuring out how to tidy up and take care of our homes are with our moms—they taught us how to do laundry, how to do the dishes, and how to make our beds. So it should come as no surprise that when we asked our moms for their best homekeeping advice, they came back with some great tips.
Most agreed on a few major themes: it’s important to make sure everything has a home, that you put things back when you take them out, and that your home is an inviting, relaxing place to come home to—and invite others to.
