Thirteen Things ways I can keep my house cleaner.
1. get rid of all junk mail. the MINUTE it hits my hands from my mailbox, into the garbage it goes. This includes all those annoying papers that come with bills, just save the bill pay part.
2. Throw out everything in the fourth bedroom, expect my moms china. Obviously its been in there since we moved here...over a year ago! And we havent touched it yet, so we dont need it.
3. Set two days a week to do laundry. and DO it. no questions.
4. Set a day each week to clean the bathroom. My most dreaded chore.
5. dont be such a packrat. There is no need to keep EVERYTHING that I have. Its time to start throwing things away.
6. Set the roomba out to clean once a day. It will save me time and energy...which is the reason I got that thing in the first place.
7. get in the habbit of cleaning the cat box every day before I take a shower. That way it wont get gross.
8. Everytime I leave a room, take five things with me that don't belong and put them in the right spot.
9. As I cook dinner, put all the dirty dishes into the sink thats filled with sudsy water. More inclination to clean.
10. set a schedule for a differnt day to clean each room upstairs.
11. get cayden and destinee to clean up after themselves more.
12. stop letting things just lie around. stop being lazy basically.
13. after the kids go to sleep, take 15 minutes to come downstairs and clean up a little. less stress in the morning than!
