(If my husband is reading this he's laughing...stop it, you!)
But seriously, I envy those people that need everything in the right place. I've never been that person that has to get the kitchen clean before they go to bed. As a matter of fact, it's a mess right now. #keepinitreal
My laundry spends more time in baskets then put away.
Now, don't get me wrong, my house isn't dirty. It's just not picked up and organized at the end of every day.
The hard thing is...it doesn't bug me. I can't explain it. It just doesn't. But, you know who it does bother? My husband. He would never say it (at least not often), but living in a messy house increases his stress levels. He is calmer in a clean house.
I, as his wife, want to give him a clean house. And to do that, I need help.
God bless Clean Mama Printables!
I've already showed you how the make menu planning a breeze. Now let me show you how they help me stay on top of my cleaning.
First of all, I love the weekly cleaning list.
Part of my struggle is that cleaning the whole house feels overwhelming. I don't know where to start, so I don't start at all. No good. This gives me a simple checklist of the things to do. I don't do all of them every day, but if I can get a few done each day I feel like I'm keep up.
Now, obviously this isn't a comprehensive cleaning list. What about all the other stuff? Windows, baseboards, rugs and such? Well, Becky has something for that, too!
First there is her monthly cleaning checklist. The same things, every month. Just check them off. Boom, boom, boom!
Then, for everything else, there is the Seasonal Checklist.
She also has several blank lists for those jobs that are specific to your home and your life.
My house still isn't spotless. Not even close. But, I feel like I'm keeping my head above water, and that's a start!
Do you need help getting your head above water? I cannot recommend Becky's printables enough. She was so kind to share her Starter Kit with me, and we will be giving one a way on Friday! In the meantime, use the code 20LONGSTORY to get 20% off her shop!
Be blessed!
