It's the kids! Between kitchen work (cooking and cleaning), laundry, general tidying, and keeping up with everything the kids need from me, I'm lucky to get through 2-3 real cleaning chores a week.

LOL-weekends are the only time all week that things are likely to be clean here. We're home about the same amount on the weekends as during the week, but with DH and I both home at least there's one of us to take on the chores while the other is on kid-duty.

Here's my super thought out cleaning schedule.... you ready?


I clean it when it gets to the point it bothers me.


Sorry, but with a 2 month old and a 3.5 year old, I can't keep up. Sharing a bathroom with the little girl makes it really difficult to keep it clean.

Pretty much this. Most of the time.

My kids are 4.5, 2.5 & 1.5 and totally country kids & lovers of the dirt....I feel like cleaning, is sort of like, shoveling snow while it's still snowing.

We don't really have a schedule either. My house is surface clean, the deep cleaning has suffered. We deep clean when company is coming.

We clean the bathrooms every weekend. We mop the kitchen twice a week. We dust infrequently. All floors are vacuumed once a week. We don't wear shoes in the house that helps. Kitchen is sparkling before we go to bed each night. There is no clutter. We just put stuff away a lot. DH is a neat freak and pretty much can't go to bed unless everything is neat and tidy, That helps.

We have a chore chart, thanks to Darcy! We implemented it in February of this year, but I wish I had of done it a couple of years ago!! It works wonders!

Well, my schedule went out the window when BF moved in. But one general piece of advice: Don't plan a result, plan a task. Don't go: I want the bathroom and the kitchen to be cleaner... Instead sit down and realisticly consider what things exactely you want done how regulary. To realise this has made all the difference in the world to me.

Same for me. Which is why we NEVER have people over to the house. LOL!
