Keeping House! Tips for an Organized Home

We are spending a tremendous amount of time at home, we are working from home, we are schooling our kids at home, so in that case, the house is getting some attention and cleaning the home should come with a daily, weekly and monthly cleaning list. I have a time frame for each of your house tasks to help you keep your home clean, organized, and tidy. A lot of these tasks you can outsource as I do. I no longer have the time and energy to do some of these tasks. I outsource my laundry because it’s a lot to do each week. So, I have a company come pick up my dirty laundry and drop it back off 24 hours later. This is the best thing I could do for myself and my family; it gives me more time and energy to spend with family and has some self-care days. Take notes of most of these tasks can be outsourced to a weekly or monthly cleaning service. Google will be your friend when looking for house cleaner and organizers. I like to ask around for housekeepers to be safe and know who enters my home, especially with the COVID. I’m being extra careful and making sure I’m cleaning surfaces that people touch more in my house.
