Sharing My Realistic Home Cleaning Schedule!
Hello friends! Life has had me a little overwhelmed lately, and it's been reflected in the status of my home. If you're anything like me, when responsibilities add up, so does our laundry, dishes, and clutter! I felt it was finally time to put a cleaning schedule into action, and I wanted to share it with you all! My goal is not to become super woman quite yet, haha!…It's just to create a realistic cleaning routine for my living space that I can actually manage throughout the year!
Do you already have a cleaning schedule? If so, I hope you'll scroll down to the comment section after reading this, and leave me all your dirty secrets...Or clean secrets, in this case! Disclaimer: I live in an apartment, and therefore, I don't have an outside area to maintain (which is kind of nice), but if you live in a house, you'll want to add that maintenance to your cleaning schedule as well. Enjoy!

As I previously mentioned, this is my first time making a cleaning schedule, which may have been the reason all along its been tough to keep the house in order! (The “everyday person” may be able to do it all, but throw kids into the mix, as well as your ambitions, obligations, life's everyday challenges, etc., and you may find it a bit more difficult, haha!)
I'd love to get feedback from you mamas with how you keep up with housework! Do you use a cleaning schedule? No? Do you think it would be helpful? Please share as I always respond, and appreciate all that you have to say! Thank you for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful and orderly day!
Cool, Calm, and Collectedly Yours,
