[quote=Anonymous]Look into the Fly Lady. She has pretty practical advice on creating habits, one at a time, that will help you keep your house clean. Some tid-bits that I remember from perusing her site: * set a timer for 5-15 minutes and clean just one room for that length of time. * keep a basket by the stairs for things that need to go upstairs and bring them all up (or down) at once * create a schedule for what days you will do specific tasks (laundry, mopping, dusting, etc). Between loosely supervised play time and naps, you should have some time to get these things done without resorting to TV as babysitter. And it sounds like you need to relax your standards a bit. You don't need to scrub toilets and grout on a weekly basis. A quick wipe down and swish of the toilet is fine. If you keep the bathroom fan on for 20-30 minutes after showering and use body wash rather than bar soap, you shouldn't have mildew or soap scum to scrub off your grout. [/quote]
