Cleaning schedule

As a mom of 3 (all under 5) the house can become a disaster VERY quickly! I could literally clean all day long at the rate these little people create messes lol I know fellow moms feel my pain!
I have come to realize that a simple schedule for keeping a tidy house is the best way to keep the chaos to a minimum. By doing simple daily activities, I no longer have to go into full panic mode when I know we are expecting guests. You all know that feeling right?! When you are running around the house like a mad woman throwing everything into closets/bags/drawers just to get the crap out of sight. Yup, mmm hmmm been there done that!
Hopefully this schedule can give you a good starting place to getting order to your house. Feel free to print it out and hang it up to use. I love a list! They keep me on track and I really honestly love to cross things off a list! Makes me feel all accomplished :)
For the weekly items, I have a general area listed. What I do is really tackle that room! Dust, organize, ceiling fans, blinds, windows, etc so it get a deep clean. That way you don't have the daunting task of doing all the blinds at one time. By deep cleaning each room once a week, things don't get out of hand for you later.
And ladies, just remember this...our kids grow up way to fast! House work will always be there to do. Make sure you are taking the time out to spend with them. They don't care if the inside of the fridge looks all organized like one of those you see on MTV Cribs. They don't care if there are crumbs on the counter. Heck, they don't care if the toilet is flushed (wait, is that just my kids?! Who knew girls could be so gross lol) They just care about spending time with you!

  1. Thank you for sharing this! I hope it helps! I may just have a major dorm/home cleaning per week because some reasons the house stays messy daily, the walls gets marked up or refrigerator gets messy.
