Hello friends!  Okay, by the show of hands, who is watching Marie Kondo on Netflix and starting off their new year with a ton of tidying up?  Me too!  Honestly, at the beginning of each new year I feel the itch to do this but it’s been fun to see my kids actually enjoy her show too and want to organize their rooms and drawers a little better.  Speaking of organization…my friends and I are getting together to share our organizational printables with you today and there are so many fabulous ideas.  I’ve been so excited about this!  I’m sharing my pink to-do list and cleaning schedule printables (that I designed a while back) for free.  There are 3 printables I’m sharing today.

Is our home really that clean and organized all the time?

Many people that follow my blog or that follow me on my social media platforms typically like to ask my kids or husband upon meeting them, “Is your home really that clean and organized all the time?”  They will answer “yes” and really believe it and, for the most part, it stays pretty clean.  Now, as a mom who sees all and has her own definition of “clean”, I’ll tell you that our home gets messy and chaotic from time to time.  But truthfully, it stays pretty clean because we stay on top of the housework. If we don’t, well then….we go through a few busy days and can’t stand it anymore and we get cleaning again.  It is NOT always camera-ready. It does need to be fairly clean and tidy though or else it would be a HUGE chore to have to do, every single time I wanted to take a photo.

You’ll notice that my home is very light in its design and there’s a lot of white, like the kitchen, my living room sofas, and most of our bedding.  When you discipline your kids and teach them cleanliness from a young age and you are CONSISTENT, you can have the house that you want.  Again, consistency is key!  You need to show them how to respect the things around them while still living and playing and having fun.

Each Sunday or Monday, I tend to make a quick Cleaning Schedule for the week.  I have a housekeeper that comes every other week and does a deep clean but the opposite weeks are left to me and the kiddos and also a few tasks to my hubby.

It’s VERY important to me that my kids learn how to clean properly and organize and, honestly, they do a better job than most of the housekeepers we’ve had in the past.

Anyway, if I just write down what needs to be done each day (or let them choose the days) and put their names next to them, the week goes by smoothly and everyone knows what their assignments are.  There’s no negotiating or complaining or whining (for the most part) and it just keeps us clean and organized.  You’ll see Sunday through Saturday sections on the printable to help you.

Tip:  I like to clean in “zones” instead of all at once.  If you do one or two tasks a day, it’s much easier to keep a clean and organized home!

Of course, morning and night have regular daily chores like trash and dishes, sweeping the kitchen or picking up the bonus room before bed.  That’s why I love those “morning” and “evening” boxes as a nice reminder.
