[quote=Anonymous]One thing we started doing is daily-ish laundry. We keep a kid hamper outside my kids’ rooms, not in it, so all the random clothing items that come off around the house are easier to get thrown in a hamper. At night, we throw a load in, add detergent, but don’t start the load. In the morning before going to make breakfast/coffee, I hit start. By the time we are all up/dressed/fed the load is ready to put in the dryer. It might sit in the dryer for a day or too but the timing of this routine is almost exact so it works really well (eg roughly 45 min from up to getting kids up and ready for day).

We spend about an hour Saturday morning to clean - mostly worrying about kitchen floors and vacuuming. We clean the kitchen every night before we go to bed and kid toys must be put away by 5. We don’t have a ton of toys so it is never overwhelming. I do have cleaners every 2-3 weeks but our house feels clean without it. The real key is to not go to bed, ever, with your house a mess. Then it never builds. And have less stuff. [/quote]
