House cleaning

I hate cleaning. I mean I really hate cleaning. I could be a hoarder easily. But no seriously I hate cleaning.

Did I make my point?

So how do I manage? I have a handy dandy cleaning schedule.

Monday: living room. Put away everything, vacuum, dust and wipe down walls.

Tuesdays: bathrooms. Toilets, tubs, floors, and counters. Restock extra toilet paper as needed.

Wednesday: kitchen and dining room. Floors, counters, declutter the bar.

Thursday: upstairs. Clean landing, bedrooms, vacuum.

Friday: laundry day! Wash, dry, fold, put away! Also straighten up laundry room.

Saturday: extra projects like the garage and patio as needed.

Sunday: baking day.

This seriously keeps my house from being too disastrous and it helps keep a bit of my sanity! Best part, other than laundry each task only takes me about an hour from start to finish, well as long as I stay on top of it each week :)

The girls also help out a lot too. Even at 2 and 4 they help put away laundry, they put away their dishes from the table and clean up their toys and everyday before dad gets home they clean the living room up.

It took me about a month of moving days around to find a rhythm. I love having laundry day on Friday. It is my way to make sure the kids have clean cute outfits for church on Sunday and any weekend outings.

Also daily of course I load the dishwasher a couple of times, and pick up loose items here and there. But I do not make cleaning my main focus!

To all those wives who love cleaning I envy you! I wish I could enjoy it!

To all those who don't I hope I have left you with some inspiration :)
