We live in a 3-level townhouse, so our basement (that 1st level) is a very important part of our living space.

This post is sponsored by Mr. Clean through SheSpeaks but all thoughts and embarrassing messes are my own. As I was uploading the *before* pictures, my oldest daughter came into my room and peeked at my computer. “You should tell them that we staged these messes. We did that on purpose,” she suggested.
