How to keep your home clean and organized...

Everybody wants a picture perfect home, but reality is that life happens and sometimes there is not enough hours in a day to do it all. I have two kids and we all know that keeping a house clean with kids is a challenge in itself. So I implemented this system to keep it clean and organized at least most of the time and it has worked really well.

I'm going to break it down for you.

Daily Routine

These are chores that I do everyday.

Weekly Routine

These are chores that I don on a specific area. An area per day.

Monthly Routine

These are chores that I do once a month.
