Mothers are probably one of the busiest
people here on earth. Their schedule starts early in the morning, getting the
kids ready to school and it continues throughout the whole day. This is one of
the reasons why skills in time management is very important. If not for proper
planning, it might be impossible to finish all the scheduled tasks for the day.
Keeping the home clean is another activity
that is often regarded as a mom’s responsibility. While most fathers would be
in charge in repairs and major housework, mothers on the other hand are tasked
to perform house cleaning. Of course sweeping the floors and making the beds
are a daily routine but it will be best to do a general house cleaning at least
once a week.
Now,
the thought of having to do everything during a nice Saturday morning could be
hard but doing it on a weekend means one thing: you don’t have to do it alone.
Here are some tips on how you can make house cleaning a fun activity not only
for you but for the entire family as well:
- Get
your kids involved. Depending on their age, it is ideal to introduce this
responsibility to your children. Determine what kind of activity they will be
able to do. Start with the basics such as making their own beds or sweeping the
floor. Young kids could think of it as a game so keep them interested by doing
some role playing. The more matured ones could do more complicated tasks such
as the laundry or cleaning the dishes. Assign a responsibility to each kid and
teach them the right way to do it.
- Make
a list of the cleaning tasks that needs to be done weekly. Major activities
such as cleaning the windows or vacuuming the floors are just some of routines
that could be performed during the weekend. Having a list of the household
chores could help you determine which ones are to be done on a daily basis and
the chores that you need to do every weekend.

Lastly, get all your cleaning materials
ready. To save time and energy gather all the things that you would need.
Remember that if you are going to use chemicals to keep them away from the
reach of your young children. Doing the house chores together as a family does
not only make it easier but faster too.
