cleaning

In general, depends on your internal clock. If you are a morning person and have the most energy in the morning, then that would be a good time to do it, or maybe in the afternoon or evening is when you have the most energy. I, myself, prefer to do it in the morning, after I have had coffee, checked email, etc., that way it is done and I don't have to worry about it the rest of the day. Of course it is just two of us, so keeping the house cleaned up isn't a major task.

i usually clean house after my kids come home from school because if i am not cleaning my kids will slack off on thier chores. Also this way i get more help around here. I do laundry during the day and let my kids fold clothes when they come home. I also like to clean at night when the kids are in bed but i have to save that time for things that are quiet. like mopping or cleaning the bathrooms.

We do the cleaning when the kids are napping and again when they are in bed for the night. Its just too hard keeping up if you walk behind a preschooler, a toddler and an infant, and pick up everything they take out and play with.
