The house is just one of those things that definately takes a back seat when you are teaching and raising kids...especially little ones! We only do laundry one day a week. We'll do at least 6 loads that day and my husband will help put fold and put it away with me. He also does all the cooking. He makes our organic whole grain breads once a week and many other foods too. He really enjoys cooking and it is of huge importance to us thet we only eat nutritious things. And we always makes sure when we make a meal to have lots of left overs! This really helps!!!! As far as dishes and floors, we try to get the kids to do that daily with us. After all they're the one's that get's pasta and bread crumbs on the floor. We just show them how to do it and let them do it the best they can by themselves. We also have a chore chart for the kids with one job a day for them. If they do it willingly, they get a star. Several stars equals a small reward. But our house is far from tidy. We have far more important things to do with our time!!! We always say, " We'll have plenty of time to clean when the kids are out of the house". LOL he! he! But in the meantime let's raise them the right way so we won't have to raise their kids too!
Hope this helps some!
XOXO Autumn
