After breakfast, I unload dishwasher and reload, and generally make kitchen tidy. Pick up front family room that guests enter. Dump bathroom trash into kitchen trash and take out. Put out all new hand towels in kitchen and bathroom, and run a lysol wipe around the bathroom sink to tidy up/wipe the mirror if necessary. This all usually takes 20 minutes or less, and it makes me happier to see unexpected guests and have them come in and stay, without me mentally obsessing about how much I hate the pile of dishes.right.there. Right before David gets home, we re-straighten for 5 minutes, just to give him 10 minutes to savor a peaceful house before it all happens again. At least, sometimes this little routine happens, and some days, it just doesn't. When it does, I'm much better at getting to bigger cleaning tasks as I notice them, because I don't think, "well, after I do all this other stuff..." Thanks for posting! It's food for thought. I expect I'll be more conscious about trying to space out my cleaning through the week this week :) Kristi RogersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4923808509929913520.post-62627923200123862832011-10-28T11:09:49.504-07:002011-10-28T11:09:49.504-07:00Thanks Bethany!

I am impressed because I know the minute I get this schedule down, we'll have kids and it will change. ha And yes Danielle, that is how I have been operating, but I was so tired of the panicked feeling I got when people would want to stop by! I have no excuse. NO kids and I am home half of the day.

I do have to sweep about five times a week with our hardwood floors. Cleaning the bathroom only happens during bath time but that's killing two birds with one stone.<br /><br />everything changes when you have kids, but it's still super important to make a plan and try really hard to stick to it! maybe i will try implementing your schedule. looks good to me!The Robbins & Cohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793042318830810026noreply@blogger.com
