Staying on top of housework
Show your support
I am only a mum of 1 so please ignore me if you wish ❤️ - pack bags night before - meal plan - set a 20 minute timer to cleaning - wash pots straight away - put things back after use - teach your kids to put away toys, dishes in sink and rubbish in bin - wash load in when you wake up - make sure partner is doing things 50-50 ❤️❤️
Cook a meal, wash the dishes, and start a load of laundry every day. Fold a load every day or 2 every other day. Wipe little messes before they dry and need to be scrubbed, sweep a dry mess when it's small before it goes all over. Have the kids help, even if it takes longer. Get a lightweight vacuum (like a Dyson upright) for light, as-needed vacuuming without having to take out the big vacuum cleaner and do the whole house. Be with the kids while they make the mess so you have fun memories, not just the cleaning up part... 🙂
I am a wife and mom of 4. My advice is to schedule a meal plan. I always scheduled snack and meal times when the kids were small and all food was eaten at the kitchen table. Breakfast 7/8 am AM Snack 11 to 1130am Lunch 1pm PM Snack 3pm Dinner 5pm Nightime Snack 6pm Bedtime routine starts at 630pm Laundry is always done on Tuesday and Friday nights
Nice looking baskets for everything, quick pick up and toss. You will drive yourself mad if you try to do it all perfectly every day. Can anyone else help prep and cook meals?
Just do a few little jobs a day
