[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAHM with a tidy house.

My kids don’t trash the house. We clean as we go. Done with cars? Pick them up. Done with blocks? Pick them up.

We are also out of the house a lot, which means we don’t need to clean as much.

I clean while they play. I fold laundry and watch tv at the end of the day. I rest during nap, so I’m ready for the afternoon. [/quote]

That cleaning technique only works when they play with one toy and move onto another so it’s easy to say clean up x before you continue with y.

A recent example of mine is kids making a cargo ship out of the playroom couch. It needs a kitchen so they arrange all the food on the ottoman. A band will be playing on the ship so out come the instruments and stuffed animal performers. Don’t forget to grab the tinker toys to make the ship’s steering wheel! Rolling toys are arranged in a pattern on the floor to form the edges of the ship. We all ride on the couch as the ship chefs serve fine meals.

It can be quite a mess by the end of the day.[/quote]
