I think with 2 young kids you really need to go easy on yourself. They won’t be little forever and there will be plenty of time for a clean house Having said that, if the mess really bothers you I recommend letting the kids play with one thing at a time then that gets packed away before anything else comes out?

I clean as I go and it does seem to keep the mess down to a managable level.

Something we have to all deal with as mothers I guess. Try a little system that works for you and don’t be too hard on yourself.

I think first you need to declutter and simplify things. That’s something I’m in the process of doing myself.

Routines are great! Really interesting comments read on this!

Basically, find yourself some sort of routine. Not a strict one as that will never work with 2 small children. And relax, we’ve all been there xxx

Stress less and just do your best and enjoy while your babies are still small

I try do small task so 30seconds left on the microwave see how much I can do etc,

I got rid of 100 things being paper, old towels, whatever you haven’t used in a while do every week you do the cleaning up. Your house soon looks great and you are more a where and wont buy things you don’t need. Saving money.

I clean every day before work (I work afternoons) which stops the mess becoming so huge it’s like taking on godzilla! I’m up early, get brekky ready and put in a load of washing, we eat and go out for a walk while that is washing. Come home and hang it out, kids amuse themselves because they have already had some exercise, I go over the floor with the vacuum and do a quick mop using disposable floor wipes. When it’s time for the bigger jobs like cleaning out the cupboards I enlist the help of the rest of the household which makes it less of a chore!

washing on at night, tidy up when kids are in bed, vacuum and hang out washing in the morning. I also load and put my dishwasher through at night.

I outsourced my cleaning to someone else so I didn’t feel I had to do everything myself!

Don’t push yourself to do everything at once …. tackle jobs one at a time. eg, kitchen cupboards one day … and so on … just do one thing a day … when the kids are in bed this is time to sort their clothes. put their toys in their rooms … and teach them to pick them up with you helping …

Hope everything worked out for you.
