CLEANING MY HOUSE! Fast & Organized Weekly Cleaning Routine

by Filed Under: Cleaning, DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Organization, Recipes

Clean with me! Some much needed cleaning motivation (on a budget of course). After lots of requests, I FINALLY made a video of my weekly whole house cleaning routine. I have daily cleaning routines that keep me organized and on top of the house (these take about 20-30 minutes a day), and my weekly cleaning routines (which incorporate monthly ones one or twice throughout the week) take 20-30 minutes a day. I want to spend LESS THAN AN HOUR A DAY staying on top of my house. And even then, we have young kids, so spotless floors aren’t my number one priority. Of course, you’re gonna need some basic housework equipment for your cleaning responsibilities, so you might be required to have a look on somewhere like Bissell if you’re short of things like vacuum cleaners.

I aim to get 80% of what I’m showing here done 80% of the time. I hope you find it motivating, helpful and learned some hacks and tips you can use in your home! If you want me to make a video of my daily and monthly/bi-monthly/yearly cleaning routines, let me know in the comments. Blessings and love! Remember, give yourself grace and love the season of life you are in (especially with little ones). Your kids are making memories.

Once a month, I’ll utilise a housekeeping service to come in and absolutely deep clean the whole house. I’ll take the kids out and let them clean everything. That way, I can stay on top of the maintenance, and let another company handle the deep cleaning (the hard work part). My friend had her restaurant commercially cleaned by GREEN FACILITIES and it looked amazing. There’s nothing better than a clean environment.

We aren’t aiming for perfect

by Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs, Cleaning, Gardening, Teaching

Come hang out with us on this hot July day! Just real life. Real messes. Snotty little ones. …and our house isn’t that clean to be honest. And we are surviving nights of little sleep and this beautiful season with our kids. I haven’t vlogged in so long and I don’t want to let these little imperfect and precious memories slip by without capturing them. Today we get a visit from our friend in the fairy garden, head to a 12 month doctor appointment for an Owen update, I show you my planner, Carson has a little heart to heart with the camera, and I give you a garden tour. The perfect summer night!

Our window cleaning cloth and cleaning pack I use.

Our fairy door kit (I got mine for 90% off at the craft store! They are awesome.)
