Hi Lovelies,
Today I wanted to share with you all my weekly home cleaning routine. Since Scott, Addison and I have recently moved into our first home my cleansing routine needed some adjusting. I am now cleaning a larger area and doing laundry for an extra person, Addison may be small but babies go through a ton of laundry. I am also for the first time having to deal with yard maintenance.
I am the type of person that like to do a few chores every day instead of spending a whole day each week cleaning. With a newborn taking more than 30 mins to do anything can seem an impossible task in itself. It’s a babies world and I’m just living in it! He decides my daily schedule and I just squeeze what I can around his needs.
So below I have my weekly cleaning routine outlined for you to see. Of course adjustments are sometimes made when I have plans or just need to sleep after a night of dealing with a fussy baby but you will get the general idea.
