Mommy’s Helper

As a work from home Mom of 4 kids who are with me ALL day, people often wonder how I’m capable to do it all. So I decisive to share a great deal of of my “Work from home Moms house cleaning tips” with you.

Be reasonable and lower your expected values when it comes to housework.

Remember…you ARE a working Mom. You get to do that work from home, but you’re likewise doing it with little kids underfoot. You is worthy of a pat on the back, not a guilt feelings trip.

Decide what’s important to you and your family and focus on those tasks.

For instance…in my house, the kitchen always gets cleaned quickly after it’s dirtied. My “ick factor”

is a grimy sink. Plus, we’re in that room more than any other. Bathrooms and kitchens are more essential than other rooms because of the hygiene factor. A little dust or kid toys underfoot? Ah, who cares? Plus, as my sister, a mom of 4 always says, stepping on Legos is free acupressure. My husband on the other hand, is into floors. The whole house could be a pig sty, but if the floors are clean, the house is clean to him. So I make it a point to vacuum before he gets home.

What makes your house clean? Make sure those tasks are done, which for most persons means having a simple routine that you do without thinking. As for the rest…

Delegate, outsource, or procrastinate.

Decide what you may delegate to hubby, your kids or to a teenager eager to earn a few dollars. I think the best way you may spend $20 on your home based business is to compensate a mommy’s helper to come over for various hours and clean or play with your kids while you do business. Make sure you have a long to do list at the ready so you don’t squander your time checking email or reading blogs. (Who, me?)

Your kids may be salaried astoundingly little amounts of cash to do cleaning that is above and beyond their regular chores. Don’t feel guilty when it comes to doing this. I recognise one 6 year old who is one Jabba the Hutt Lego set richer because of all the dimes and quarters he earned vacuuming. Ahem.

Procrastinate the tasks that take the same amount of time to do whether they’re done daily or weekly. Dishes, for one, take longer to do the longer they sit. Vacuuming and dusting take the same amount of time whether they’re done each day or weekly.

And outsourcing…as soon as you may afford to, compensate somebody to do things around the house while you focus on more indispensable tasks. And if you can’t do that, invite someone over for a playdate. It’s amazing how much energy you may drum up when company’s coming, and how fast you may clean too!

Teach your children to clean up after themselves.

This isn’t being a rigorous parent. It’s doing your future daughters-in-law a favor. Even a 2 year old child

can be gently trained to put dirty clothes in the hamper. It helps when you keep one in their room. Make it into a routine, make up a song in regards to it, do what you need to do.

A child as young as 3 may be taught to pick up toys (sometimes they need a little supervision to keep on track), fetch dirty dishes to the sink, wipe up spills, etc.

A 5 or 6 year old may be taught how to dust, clean glass surfaces, sweep beneath the table, and even vacuum.

Use the if/then technique.

“Oh you want a great deal of yogurt? When you pick up those books you may have some.” “We will have time to go to the park if we get all these toys picked up”…you get the picture.

And as for hubby? Well, my personal standard is…if it doesn’t make it to the hamper, it doesn’t get washed. Your mileage may vary.

Use shortcuts.

If it’s a nice day, have the kids eat lunch or snacks outside. No table, chairs, and floor to clean.

Reserve cleaning bathrooms for when your toddler is in the tub. You have to be in there anyway.

Be sure to use a totally non toxic cleaner.

The best time to clean your shower or tub is right after you’ve applied it…the hot steamy water loosens all the grime. Open your mail over the trash can. Immediately dump all junk.

And here’s one word of caution. Don’t fall into the trap of running around like a crazy women for the duration of naptime or after bed doing all the cleaning. You need this time to pamper yourself a bit (if you’re fortunate sufficient to have kids who still take naps!) and have a lot of quiet time alone or with hubby.

Being a work from home Mom is full of challenges, but with a lot of creativeness and flexibility, you may have a thriving business and a tidy home.

Liked it but it broke quickly…
By Nolan’s Mom
I was impressed by the easy setup and the plastic seemed very sturdy right out of the box. My son did seem more mesmerized in this seat than the potty chair or the other seats that fit right over the toilet. I also actually like the way that it could be without apparent effort moved right out of the way when not needed.
