I’ll now live in hope that one day my teenagers will become, ‘Tidy Hiedis’.

As a teen I described mine as the “scan system”. ie. I just scan the floor and immediately find what I want without bothersome drawers or cupboards getting in the way. But now I am “tidy Heidi” as my husband calls me when I’ve put something of his away that he can’t find ! At some point we become a bit house proud and other people opinions matter. Long live the teen years I say.

Hahahaha I’m no longer a teenager but my room is still as messy 😛 Hopefully your kids will grow out of it and they’ll start keeping their rooms a little tidier hehe ~

I love carrot cake ~ Thanks for the recipe ~

I’m so glad to hear I am not alone with this! My teenager’s rooms are just as your describe – but a cake is not going to make them change it!!! Lucky you!

Ha, this brings back memories. I remember a time many years ago when I had so much stuff all over my floor that you couldn’t even actually *see* the floor! Quite the little collection of mouldy cups and plates I had going on under the bed too 😀

I love carrot cake – haven’t had it in ages. I just bought a bag of carrots today – maybe I should look into making one in the week 🙂

Too bad my Firstborn is the baker in the house (and my husband the cook). I simply have no leverage, so must live in the mess! Maybe I can get someone to make the cake for me.

So…you’re saying that the hideous mess in my four-year old’s, nine year old’s, and 12 year old’s rooms are going to continue for the rest of the forseeable future? Shoot. And I love carrot cake. Love it.

I think when I have kids baking will be a well-used form of bribery too. I can’t remember how mum got us to clean our rooms but I know there was a lot of debate. Maybe if she’d tried carrot cake it would have been sparkling clean all the time!

Oh I feel your pain, really I do – my husbands children (now adults – well in years) have not changed an ounce! I just closed doors so I didn’t have to see it.
Lovely cake – could go a slice of that with a cup of tea.
