In reply to Elizabeth. Kids are wonderful helpers! I've divided the chores up between the kids, and we're able to quickly clean what would take me hours by myself. Training too time, but it's worth every moment now. :-)

I think I have used a few of those resources (while having some of the books sitting on my shelf gathering dust after I gleaned from them some things that have helped my life). I think one thing you may not have listed is have your children help you with the process, especially when they get old enough to do so. I could clean my house all by myself, but training them has been great and sometimes the outcomes are wonderful! Then there are days where I am about to pull my hair out, but then at least I know we live in our house which we are in almost ALL the time, and that I will get to it. 🙂 Grace, right? Thanks for the other resources! I’ll have to check into them. Another one I have used is Managers of Their Homes, but I forget the author. That had some neat thoughts in it as well!

In reply to Michelle. Having both a housekeeper and a personal chef would be totally awesome! Alas, it's not going to happen in the near future, lol. :-)

Oh, I love the housekeeper idea. Wouldn’t that be nice?!?!? If I ever ended up with a pile of money, I think that’s one of the first things I’d do… A personal chef would also be pretty awesome. 😉 Thanks for the tips. I definitely struggle in this area…

In reply to Cindy. Morning and evening routines make such a difference in my house. Everyone knows what to do and (with prompting) get it done! :-)

I purchased Home Comforts. What a neat looking book! I can’t wait to read it. I have also tried fly lady, have made my own system where I write down everything in a room that needs cleaning, then assigned each task a day. That worked wonderfully for a while, until I fell off the wagon. Keeping the children on a morning routine has actually helped me keep myself to one. And I know that everyone has clean ears, clean teeth, and a made bed! I still think we have too much stuff, though. But we’re working on it.
