This little tip is different from our normal ones but here we go!
Ever feel like it is almost impossible to keep your house clean amid the busyness of life and all the coming and going?
Here are some practical ways to keep your house tidy!
1. Every time you leave a space, clean it up.
As you are finishing up breakfast, take an extra five minutes and get everything in the kitchen cleaned up. When you are headed to your room, take a quick sweep of the living room and put everything away. Before you leave space just take an extra five minutes to do a quick tidy.
2. Include your kids in helping you clean.
We used to always say “if we all work for 10 minutes it’s like one person working for 70 minutes” (because 7 kids working 10 minutes each = 70 minutes)
3. Before you go to bed, make sure the house is in order.
That makes the next day start off more peaceful and it is easier to maintain a clean house than starting from a messy house.
4. Lastly… Simplify!
This one is a little harder and you cannot necessarily implement it as quickly. We challenge you to take time to clean out toys, closets, and at least 1 junkie space. The simpler your life, the easier it is to keep up with.
