very true - you look at your masterpiece/scrummy creation with admiration and congratulate yourself on being a good mummy for making home made food .... then you turn round and see the cooker covered in pans and drops of food, the sink overflowing with dishes, laddles, spoons etc, the worktops covered in peelings etc and definitely a grotty kitchen floor and of course the splattered tiles from all that pureeing! i try to keep one side nice and tidy and keep my back to the other side
