HOWEVER, I do have a house and I know about chores! I already tend to keep a pretty clean house but I was feeling overwhelmed with the daily chores and keeping the house clean. I recently joined "Flylady" and I get daily e-mails with the daily house cleaning "missions." Basically, she instructs you to do a "Weekly Home Blessing Hour" wherein you are instructed to vacuum, mop, dust, wipe down mirrors, take out the trash, change the sheets, and purge magazines for ONLY ONE HOUR. You do each task for approximately 10 minutes, or until you're done, whichever comes first. It's great because you only hit the high-traffic spots and don't do a deep clean. And if you get the two of you involved (and I bet even Caden can do a little "dusting"!) it goes much quicker. If you do a little here and there you keep a clean, happy home and it doesn't build up over time. I also do a daily wipe down of the bathroom (literally 30 seconds) and then the daily task (max of 15 minutes - today it's wipe down the tops of the doors and windows in the master bedroom) that is technically a deep cleaning task, but keeps you from having to do it all at once in a spring clean. And while I know pregnancy makes you feel awful at times, if you have 15 minutes a day where you feel well and can do the daily task and one hour a week where you feel well and can do the WHB, you are doing great! (And in the alternative, it's pretty easy to sell a 15-minute task to husbands!)<br /><br />AAAANYWAY, apologies for the novel, but it's been life changing. I LOVE that flylady. And I LOVE your advice - I hope I get to use it one day ;) okhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198024563381995854noreply@blogger.com
