Thank you so much for including my post on 5 Minute Cleaning Tips for Busy Mom! Happy New Year!
Hi Jamielyn! Thank you so much for sharing my post about organizing the KonMari way! I really appreciate the love 🙂
It’s really great. Thanks for your tips!
LOLI I was chuckling at your list of things to do, and your time frame! Every day, Once a week, Once a month, once a season! Yeah! All of your once a week stuff around my house gets done everyday, except for the bed linens, and that gets done twice a week, and I wash the comforter as well! Your once a month stuff pretty much gets done twice a week..and we don’t have a once a season. lol this is Texas, everything is a season. We have 2 fireplaces and never use either of them! So all of the once a season gets done all year, because it might be hot today, and 30 degrees tomorrow! All of the cleaning, is thanks to my severe OCD, but is makes my husband happy!
I’m impressed, you are super mom! 🙂 These are just some tips for someone that needs a list of things to be doing to keep a clean home.
Nah! I certainly didn’t comment to cause anybody to be impressed! I understand that people need to do list though, that is awesome of you to do that..I wish I had one for teaching me how to use my Cameo Silhouette! lol
