ahhhhh yes… “toy rotation” 🤠🤠
systems!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
🌟🌟 i will devote 1 day every ~2 weeks to “deep” clean the house. i typically save almost alllll cleaning until this day!! i start with things i’m able to get done with them awake (vacuuming, laundry, organizing), and then when they take their afternoon nap, i finish the rest (cleaning toilets, cleaning showers, etc.)
🌟🌟i do a naptime reset & my husband and i take turns doing a nighttime reset!! this is not a full clean/organize. this is just a tidy. i have large “catch all” baskets in living room/playroom and we just throw everything in there (i try and sort it on my big clean day)🕺🕺
🌟🌟 toy rotation!! this is just a fancy way of saying about 1/2 our toys live in bins in the garage 😂 i swap them out every few months. having less makes it SO much more manageable to reset our house and keep it (somewhat) clean 😅
mindsets!! 🤸🏼🤸🏼
✨✨in order to clean a mess, i must allow another mess to take place✨✨
andddddd
✨✨a mess is different than dirty✨✨
little tiny humans play here!! it’s going to look like it 🤸🏼🤸🏼 (i will admit though, sometimes my house is both dirty and messy. we are working towards improvement, not perfection!!) 🫣😂
on my “deep clean days”, i will try and tackle one area at a time. once that area has been cleaned, i typically try and get the boys to play in the area i just cleaned so i can move onto other parts of the house that are still dirty!!
yes, whatever i just cleaned is immediately messy again, but again, messy is different than dirty!! 🤸🏼🤸🏼
