House Cleaning

I hate house cleaning, but I do my cleaning every Sunday. My husband helps me out which I am grateful for. My husband and I put music on and sing while we clean. My husband and I are in the process of thinking about what home improvements must be done and how we can afford to do them. I am hoping to start painting soon (we have the paint, now we need to find the time). I always set up a schedule and live by it.

Hello there My mom always had a saying concerning housework when there were other projects or work to do: here a little, there a little, and soon enough it will get done. I still use this method. Whatever you DO do each day, say washing dishes, also wipe down things in the kitchen, and sweep or mop the floor. Before jumping into the shower, give the bathroom a quick cleaning. If you're making the bed, also dust the dresser. Here a little there a little is faster and requires not so much motivation, as you've broken a huge job into small pieces. Karen

I have really learned that I have to be motivated. Me it freaks me out to not have my house clean. There are days that it's not and I am OK with it since we are extremely busy and on the go all the time. However if I let it get too far or more than a couple of loads of laundry in our laundry room I will start to freak out and that is my motivation. My kids too I guess since I don't like them being on a difty floor or around messes. If my husband is gone late or in the field for the Army that too will motivate me. Putting on some good music will help too. It's different things for different people.
