Two boys, 5m and 17m so obviously life is busy. For various reasons i'm pretty much running ship on my own with the boys and the house dh does stack dishwasher at the end of the day and do a final kitchen tidy down before bed
My dailies are - one load of laundry washed, dry laundry put away, dishwasher emptied and stacked, wipe kitchen worktops, sweep/wipe toddler meal related mess in kitchen, sort meals for toddler. DH often does evening meal and if I get chance, I prep it during the day. This is plenty at the moment but doesn't really clean anything.
My idea is to try a 'one a day' approach. I'll clean something that needs it the most. So this morning I wiped the bottom of the oven and screen door. Yesterday I cleaned one shelf in a cupboard that had stuff spilt, the day before was the downstairs floors mopped.
Do you think this is enough to keep on top of things? Any suggestions? Anyone fancy joining me? I'm finding it quite enjoyable as it feels manageable with my hectic days. I can always find a couple of minutes to so something and I'm hoping that way stuff doesn't build up. No way can I begin to think about cleaning a whole room.
For full disclosure, we're pretty on top of things at the moment as DH did a deep clean a couple of weeks ago of the whole house. I just want to try to keep it there in a manageable way.
Anyone else in?
