First of all, congradulations to you both and also on getting a new home.
We put things away and never got into a clutter habit
I do whole house cleaning once a week, vacuming, dusting, this includes straightening closets and dusting of light fixtures and ceiling fans. For me the kitchen and bathrooms are the two that need frequent cleanings during the week they get a floor cleaning every other day, like to hang my bath rugs on clothes line to air out when I am doing them. With so many new cleaning solutions out it makes it a breeze. Doing our laundry is a daily thing for me, with automatic washer and dryer how much easier could it get. I do the self cleaning oven once every two months, but wipe and clean as I use it, that is enough for just the two of us. I do dishes by hand (even though we have a dishwasher) place on a towel, dry, put away. I always like to get up to a clean counter and sink, when I am ready to fix breakfast just seems to start the day off better. House cleaning doesn't really have to be a chore, I listen to my favorite music (usually Allen Jackson
or one of the others from my long list ) I think about good things and drink something refreshing as I am working (usually lemonaide or pepsi). One evening once a week to bathe and groom Baby Blessing, and have a long play time with her afterwards for the both of us. Try to start out with it not being a chore and it won't be something you dread to do. Enjoy your home and congradualtions again to you both, God bless you with a long, happy, healthy life together. Patti and Jack ~~Baby Blessing~~
