Do you have a schedule / routine / list of chores.....

I am always blwon away by things you write hun.....sometimes it feels like I have a twin!

I might check out Ebay for that book...have been thining about since it was released! I have tried Flylady but get so lost on their website and email - very cluttered etc

I do a load every day - towels, linen, kids clothes, napisan bucket etc

I make the beds but the boys put the pj's under their pillows, dirty clothes in their basket, Bailey sets the table for me most nights and Noah has begun to help him. Last week I started getting them to take their plates etc to the sink but Noah chucks the plate and scrapes in the sink! I guess to compensate he does help unload the dishwasher!

I think Dh appreciates coming home to a clean house and dinner (nearly) on the table each night. I like to please him.....domestically atm though!

You are going to love the book! It's my bible at the moment. I was having a very emotional day the other day, and the girls were at kindy, so I grabbed the book and spent 2.5 hours cleaning the house.

When I was home with the boys I had a list! I look back on it sadly now - I have no time! I used to follow Flylady so my weekly list was this:

Upstairs Bathroom: Clean mirror, Wash hand basin and bench, Clean toilet, Change hand towel, Wipe floor, Check bin

Boys' Room: Dust furniture,Tidy clothes and drawers, Vacuum, change sheets

Then I had the zones set up......for example the Kitchen and Laundry zone was this:
