Cleaning and Organizational Tips

So I've been a little frustrated with trying to keep up the house and spending quality time with the family. I must say I do a lot with my kids, but sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the housework stuff I need to do and trying to balance it all out and staying happy while doing it has become my challenge. I realized, I needed to find some help. And since I can't afford to hire a housekeeper, I looked to Martha Stewart for help. She has wonderful tips and checklists to follow. Everything from Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Seasonally Cleaning Checklists, to how to stock your fridge, linen closet, cleaning supplies needed, etc. I think this is great. I am going out today to buy a cute little clipboard to keep the checklists on. This will help me keep on track, and will allow my husband and kids to be able to help without me having to nag. As nobody likes it when mama nags!!! Everyone can take part in keeping up the house. All they have to do is look on the clipboard to see what has been done and what needs to be done. Brilliant!

Holy Cow! Martha would be horrified if she came to my house! Ha ha! Sure would be nice to have a house that clean!
