Home Management Book Recommendations

I am about to become a SAHM for the first time in my life, by choice. I have DC16 and DC22 months. This means that the majority of the household chores etc should now be part of my role. I am not the best at home organisation and so am looking for a book that gives me a plan to follow in terms of when to do a given chore and how to make sure that I get some time for me as well. I'd just like something to follow so I know I will keep on top of it. I am lucky in that we have cleaners who come in twice a week, 3 hours one day and 2 another. Any good household management book recommendations would be gratefully received! Thanks.

If you are getting 5 hours cleaning a week then that’s not going to be too much for you to worry about

Mary Berry’s home book is great and Lynsey’s cleaning book

Follow The Organised Mum Method for keeping on top of the house between cleans. She recommends things like cleaning the toilets and sinks each day and hoovering the main areas.

The main thing I'd do with 2 that age is meal plan, have the shopping delivered and organise a few groups to go to in the week.

The TOMM book is here. I've not read it though. I follow her on FB and I've got the app Wink
