Since I've been struggling with keeping my house clean I thought I'd ask how others manage to keep on top of their housework.

My Question is when do you do most of your housework?

  • D) I have a maid do it for me
  • E) My husband does it for me
  • F) The reason I had kids was so that they could do all the cleaning
  • G) I don't clean

  1. I do it at night when the kids are in bed -- and I have a list for during the day of things I want done.

  2. I don't clean much... we have a housekeeper every other week for the big stuff. I try and tidy up when baby is in bed, but usually our house is untidy! LOL
    I think I need the housekeeper to come more often

  3. I clean on my days off from work.

  4. I have a cleaning lady that comes in twice a month. But my husband laughs at me b/c I clean for the cleaning lady. So I am always "picking up" something.

    A and D for me

  5. I would have to say C. I use to clean out night when my two were babies, one of them was super afraid of the vacuum and would throw an absolute terrified fit when I turned it on. But now that they're both a bit older they're ok with it, and find my activities interesting. Which is GREAT! I really love to have downtime after they're in bed, so I try to get everything done during the day.

  6. My answer is A. I find if I do it in the Morning after everyone is out of the house. it goes fast. I pick up every day.

  7. I would love to say "D" & I'm working on "F" (grow faster kids!) but in reality it's "C".

  8. Oh I'm constantly cleaning (feeding, changing yada yada) MORE CLEANING!! Major stuff like heaping piles of laundry I save for the weekend - it never ends! I would imagine you're in the same boat...cute blog you have here :)

  9. My answer would be G and H - along with company would be before my husband comes home from his work trips...I have never been much of a cleaner and really wish we could afford a housekeeper. I do pick up and clean what I have to on my days off but the major cleaning doesn't get done unless it has too. I am too tired and too busy to do much more than that. I always make sure the toilet and bathroom are cleaned for unexpected guests though...

  10. Definitely B. I enjoy my little one too much to do housework during the day (most of the time). I am a night owl so I work best at night.

  11. Thanks for all the responses.

    My personal cleaning style is all over the place. I feel like I am always cleaning but it is usually the same areas that get dirty on a daily basis. I always clean really well if I know I have company over. I enjoy my alone time at night so I try not to do too much cleaning then.
