My absolute, hands down, all time favorite "cleaning" tip is the Motivated Moms Planner. I love this thing. It breaks chores down into manageable daily activities and if you follow the schedule you never really have to do a big cleaning. It is awesome, and many of the cleaning jobs can be done by little hands too.
I think it costs $8 for the yearly planner, but it is worth every penny!

My favorite cleaning tip, is set limits for yourself and don't over think it. I do one hour of power cleaning every morning to stay on top of things so they don't get out of control. This is how I do it here in this post. After one hour, I walk away and get to playing, homeschooling at working my WAH jobs.

I am so getting that Motivated Moms Planner.  I am a list kind of gal!

Oh Toni thanks for the tip!!  I have been trying to do flylady but just keep deleting her emails lately!  I am so unmotivated.  Totally going to check Motivated Moms Planner hope it comes WITH the motivation!!  

Nicole, 

I agree with Lisa. I spend an hour doing a power cleaning and then get started with my WAH projects or running errands. This is the only way I get anything done, because inevitably the phone rings and someone needs to be picked up somewhere or dropped off.  Find the time of day that you have the most energy and work around that. Best of luck!
