Clean My House, REALLY????? DO I HAVE TO?

Okay - I struggle with this.  I always have really great intentions and am really good about making a plan (I bet you knew that!LOL!)  but I don't always follow thru.  Mostly, because I hate to clean.  There I said it.  Especially bathrooms, mopping floors.  I love it once its done - and even think as I am finishing, "Oh, that wasn't so bad".  But initiating it is often WAY too much of a chore.

I have tried it all - assigning chores to certain days, putting on the chores on a list and crossing off as I achieve them throughout the week, doing whatever looks dirtiest(don't judge!).  However, I think I might have found the motherload of HOW to clean your home.  

There is an amazing ebook/app (your choice) out there that assigns all the chores in your home.  This includes things I always seem to forget like: cleaning the crumbs out of the toaster, changing your a/c filter, cleaning out your purse.  I AM IN LOVE!!!!!  There are certain things that you are assigned everyday like: doing 1 load of laundry, running the dishwasher, sweeping the kitchen/entryway.  Then, there are about 5 chores assigned each day that vary.  My assigned chores take me on average 15-20 minutes.  My everyday chores take about 10-15 depending on whether I have little ones running under my feet. 

App vs. Ebook

1. The ebook comes in 2 different formats - you are able to print out a sample sheet before purchasing so you can decide which one you like better.  There is a daily form and a weekly form.  I ended up purchasing the daily form.  It has a place to write your menu plan for the day as well as your appointments.  I get it out at night before heading to bed and review my day tomorrow.  I AM IN LOVE!!!!  Go HERE to view the daily form.  It costs $7.99 for an entire year of a cleaning schedule.  WAY worth the time and energy saved. 

2. The app is also amazing.  They have it for android and iphone.  There are features about the app that I really like such as: you can customize your cleaning/daily plan.  For example: I can write in that I want to practice my piano everyday and it will make it a chore that appears daily in my schedule.  Another thing I really like - is that you can assign individuals in your home a color and then you can assign jobs to them and mark them off when they are completed.  The app can be purchased in a lite version which costs $1.99 and allows you a 2 month trial of the app.  If you like it - you can then purchase the full version for $7.99.  Can be downloaded through the app store or iTunes. 

Go HERE to view their overall site. 

They also have a version that includes Bible reading throughout the year.  Same price - totally just your preference. 

FREE - - If you are looking for a FREE version - there is one.  Although upon comparison I preferred Motivaed Moms version -  but honestly, it was because I liked the daily form.  This one comes from The Confidant Mom.  It is only available in the weekly format - but also includes the option of Bible reading or not.  Totally up to you and what your spiritual goals are this year.   HERE is the link to download it. 

Happy Cleaning/Organizing!
