Creating daily and weekly cleaning schedules are important for keeping a clean and organized home.
Related: Weekly Cleaning Schedule
For my daily cleaning, I basically tidy up my home, clean the kitchen, sweep the kitchen floor after dinner and do a load of laundry daily.
Since we are so busy a weekly cleaning schedule is all I need to keep my home clean at all times.
My weekly cleaning schedule is a deeper cleaning but still very simple tasks like cleaning the bathroom and dusting. I can get these chores done within an hour or less each day.

I’ll be the first to admit I am not a morning person! I dread the thought of waking up early but when you have kids you realize life changes.
Over the years I have made a morning routine so I could get up early, get the kids out to school on time and manage to look presentable before I leave the house. Ok, I still rock the messy mom bun but at least I am no longer rolling up to school looking like I just woke up for the most part.
Yesterday I shared how to create a School Night Routine that works and today is all about the mornings.
School mornings used to be so hectic in my house. Trying to get all three kids dressed, fed and out the door for school was a nightmare.
You guys know how important routines are for me. I really do swear by them. Now they have become a habit.
Many years ago when I first became a mom I set up my own morning and night routines. I made me feel more productive and I got way more done without extra stress.
It was basically ready set go and out the door.

I can’t believe the summer is coming to an end. For us, next week we meet the kid’s teacher days and my baby girl will be entering middle school for the first time. Oh, I am not ready! I thought I was prepared for this, however, I am not.
We spent the summer exploring our new city and having family visit. No real schedules or routines and I’ll tell ya we are all ready to get back to structured days.
Yes, even the kids. There is something about routines that makes kids feel more secure. They know exactly what to expect next and once the routine becomes a habit the fighting over bedtime becomes less and less.
It helps all of us get ready for when school starts everything just runs smoother with a good School Night Routine in place.

How do your afternoons look like when your kids get home from school?
My house used to be a disaster without an after school routine. Three kids running through the door, dropping their backpacks anywhere they wanted. Papers flying everywhere for me to sign.
Nope! I could not function like this.
