so let me just say that although i do prefer my home to be neat and tidy i recognize that i have tiny children who like to have toys strewn out all over the floor.
i don't hold high expectations for myself in this area.
i can't let it bother me that twenty minutes after i have straightened up it looks like a tornado blew through. or else i would be bothered every day.
i don't think we should throw in the towel though either.
my mind functions better when there is less clutter and more clean.
i've noticed my children's minds do too.
i have been working at this list to find the most effective way for me to keep the house clean and organized ever since i had my first child and my whole world got turned around in all of the most marvelous of ways.
i hope this list may get you thinking about how to work smarter not harder when it comes to your home so that you have more time to hang with your littles.
here is my weekly cleaning list that i follow:
MORNINGS:
make beds, start a load of laundry, empty the dishwasher and do your chore of the day.
AFTERNOON/EVENING:
Fold laundry, sweep kitchen floor, vacuum where is needed, load dishwasher.
CHORE OF THE DAY:
monday: mop anywhere that needs it.
tuesday: dust. wipe down doors and windows
wednesday: bathrooms
thursday: yard work and chicken coop
friday: declutter. pick a room or drawer and get at it.
what tips or tricks have you incorporated into your home to keep it clean and to keep your sanity?
