Since becoming a stay at home mom about two years ago I feel as if it's my responsibility to keep the home clean, and it's my fault when it's a mess. I've always been good at making sure things are "clean" just not so good at things being picked up and put away. So I've decided to focus on changing this, so my daughter will grow up with good habits. It's also a safety concern with a toddler, easy to trip or find things she shouldn't be exploring.
Room by room I will grow this daily cleaning habit until hopefully someday I can easily have anyone drop by without notice and not feel so embarrassed. The living is first, I've been able to maintain it for about a month now. Vacuuming the rug almost every day, when everything is picked up you can see crumbs and such on the rug. It takes me about 20 minutes a day but it's necessary in such a small area. How do you keep your home clean?
