Housekeeping Routines for Overwhelmed Moms
I spent the first seven years of my marriage struggling with figuring out housekeeping routines that would ensure our home was clean and running efficiently. I tried several different methods and tweaked several different things. Now that I’m a homeschooling mom with five kids underfoot, I finally feel like I have mastered a system that actually works for me. Here you will find all of the housekeeping routines that I have ever tried and written about. You should be able to implement a system that works for you. Tweak it and make it happen. Remember, consistency is key. Habits will make your routine work.
These housekeeping routines include daily, weekly, and zone cleaning helps. You will also find ideas for including your children in the chores.

Do you know the definition of housekeeping?
Housekeeping refers to the management of duties and chores involved in the running of a household, such as cleaning, cooking, home maintenance, shopping and bill pay. These tasks may be performed by the household members, or by other persons hired to perform these tasks.
It is imperative that we keep our homes clean and in somewhat of an orderly fashion. Find a system that works for you and stick with it!
