LOL, I love this topic!! I'll take all the ideas I can get. Ok, here are my tips:

- definitely get a cleaning lady LOL
- pick the things that make you feel best when they are done - for me, having the dishes done and bed made is a huge morale booster, so I do these first
- put a load of washing on first thing when you get up, or before going to bed
- lower your expectations - you are NOT going to have a clean floor for more than 5 minutes with two under 3, no matter how often you get down on your hands and knees to sweep up crumbs
- speaking of which, buy knee pads for contstantly being on all fours under and around the table sweeping up crumbs
- get the kids involved in "helping" so you are not neglecting them while cleaning - Jack loves to "help" by holding the vacuum cleaner while I Vaccum.
- cook twice as much as you need and freeze the rest so you get 2 meals for the price of 1
