how to clean your house without lifting a finger ...

Is your house a mess? Do you want it clean, but don't have the time to pick up or the money to pay someone to do it? Then I have the perfect solution for you!

First, find two small children (preferably your own) who's sole goal in life is to "be more special" than the other.

Second, tell one of them that they get the "special honor" of emptying the dishwasher. This is sure to get the other one to ask for her "special honor."

Third, hand the second child a basket of laundry and "guide" her through folding as you sit on the sofa and drink a cup of coffee.

Fourth, give the first child another opportunity to one up the second child. Perhaps, vacuuming?

Repeat this scenario until your entire house is clean. Oh, and don't forget to thank your little helpers. (Thanks Dizzle and Doodle! The house looks fabulous!)

Finally, relish in the fact that you have a clean house, you didn't have to do a thing and no one asked for an "allowance." Because, let's be honest. After you've used this method once, it's probably never going to work again ...
