I am noticing the size change on my cleaning schedule... but I have learned that it is the easiest to do a little bit each day. Makes me feel good to go to sleep at night with a clean home! <br /><br />When all 4 kids were home everyone had their responsibilities, too! To help keep the clutter down, everyone put their important papers at "their spots" on the dining room table. When it was supper time, all papers needed to be taken care of and moved off the table. Win Win for everyone. Then if they needed permission slips signed they put them at my spot, and I returned them to their spot...

When we headed off on our own we knew how to cook, clean and even take care of our vehicles. Now I get to pass it along to my kids.

Life skills that most parents neglect to teach their kids. My boys were responsible for their laundry, rooms and picking up in the common areas (everyone including me picked up our own messes) from an early age. I never remember my mom "cleaning" yet the house was always clean - 750 square feet and 3 kids, mom, dad and a dog and cat. No clutter out or even hidden. She just did a bit of something everyday and still does that and she will be 79 this year. She kept to a routine /schedule. Good example. You are such a good example to your girls and they are way ahead of the game right now and really seem to be sweet super responsible young ladies. Good job mom!<br />Crystal Hankeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-58340634916088492722018-02-13T16:36:54.462-07:002018-02-13T16:36:54.462-07:00I'm sure you did just great!

I started over the next week. I cleaned house between semesters--hey, I was busy and it worked. The bedroom got one day a week where I did various things. The kitchen pretty much stayed clean because I was not cooking lots, but I cleaned up messes as I went. As for cleaning cobwebs, I just did them as I saw them and then had to clean all the ones in that room. Little dabs of cleaning gets it all done. I wasn't as organized as you are.

Whatever does not get done just moves to the next day. My hubby will look at my list on the days that I am having a flare and will pick a few items to do as tim allows.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-39314300729440906812018-02-13T07:20:13.716-07:002018-02-13T07:20:13.716-07:00Great advice for sure.
