​Workin it Wednesday: Happiness is Homemade- Cleaning Schedule

Weekends are made for Family and Coffee!!!!

What a crazy last few weeks!!!!! Such a busy yet fun time...running here...running there!!!! This leads me to this week's blog post and my Workin it Wednesday link up for this month!!!......I get asked a lot… how do you do it all….Well I don't always have it together!!! Some days I'm better than other but being a full time mom, working full time- what keeps things balanced…. For me… it is about breaking things down into small pieces…. One of the things is cleaning. I actually like to clean… I consider it part of my workout routine… burn some calories and get a chore done too…. Like a two for one….. But let’s be honest. I want to enjoy life… enjoy my weekends- sit on the couch and drink coffee. I don’t want to spend them cleaning….. The only way I can get deep cleaning accomplished, and continue to enjoy my weekends, is to break each room or task down per day- gives my house a deep cleaning without hours and hours on a weekend. Some things I do daily, weekly or every two weeks…..
So how does it work…. I always do the cleaning as soon as I get home from work on the week days- before I make/warm dinner. My dinners take less than 30 minutes to make – more to come on my go to weekly dinners. Cleaning takes me less than an hour for each day. Most days it is about 20-45minutes.
Here is my routine…. It has become part of my day and just something I do….

Week One
Monday- Deep Clean Kitchen: clean and Windex countertops and appliances, disinfect door handles, light switches, dust and pledge cabinets table, stairs and fireplace. I should add that after every meal I wipe down counter tops and sweep kitchen floors but that is just part of my dinner cleanup.
Deep Clean Bathroom: sink, toilet, dust and pledge

This is the longest day. Probably 45 minutes at most but I get it out of the way on a Monday so that the rest of the week is less.

Tuesday- Sweep and Mop Kitchen and Bathroom Floors

Wednesday- Organize, Dust and Pledge Living Room and Game/Toy Room

Thursday- Sweep and Polish hallway and stairs, Living Room and Game Room floors.

Friday- Bathroom Sinks and Toilets Clean

​Week Two
Monday- Master Bedroom organize, dust, and pledge. Sweep and polish bedroom floors

Tuesday- Upstairs Bathrooms Deep Clean sink, toilet, dust and pledge. Sweep and Mop bathroom floors

Wednesday- Colby’s Room Organize, Dust, Pledge, Sweep/Polish Floors

Thursday: Carter Room Organize, Dust, Pledge, Sweep/Polish Floors
​
Friday- Bathroom Sinks and Toilets Clean

Then REPEAT!!! Sure, life gets in the way and sometimes I take a night off, but when I do, I then MUST double-up the next night! This helps keep my weekends free from cleaning and allows me a quite early morning with a cup of coffee!!!

Much Love!!!

Weekend Fun!!!!!

Date Night!!!!
