Housework: the Daily Minimum
What's your daily minimum for housework? My true daily minimum: kiddos alive and dinner close to ready when my sweetheart gets home.
Ideal Daily Minimum:
1.Every room free of toys/clutter
2.Bathrooms given the once over (love that Windex!)
3.Beds made
4.Laundry completed (actually folded and, yes, put away)
5.Sweep/spot mop
6.Daily Dirty--deep clean something
7.Maximum Efficiency--organize something
What does it take to complete this small list?
Constant Vigilance! (thanks, Moody!)
1.To keep rooms toy and clutter free, the most important rule is to not leave children alone for any period of time. They truly delight in displacing as many items as possible before you come back. Make a habit of this old standard: Put it Away, Don't Put it Down.
2.Keep your favorite cleaner in multiples--one under every bathroom sink along with a roll of paper towels (or rags if you really like doing laundry.) Spray and wipe down in this order (from least to most gross!): Mirror-Counter-Bathtub-Sink-Floor-Toilet.
3.Even though kiddos are in and out for naps (and time-outs!) make sure their beds are made after they wake up in the morning.
4.Laundry is done daily in my home thanks to Baby Chubchub; set a timer if you need to remember to get those clothes out of the dryer--so much less to iron if you fold them while still warm.
5.Chewbacca being only three-and-a-half and Baby Chubchub learning to feed herself means daily sweeping and spot mopping. Baby Chubchub assists by crawling army man-style across the floor to catch anything I missed.
6.Daily Dirty: this can be anything from detailing lightswitches to cleaning out the fridge. Once something has really been cleaned, I'm more likely to keep it up.
7.Maximum Efficiency: organize a drawer, a closet, paperwork, you name it. Super satisfying and again, easier to keep up.
