Outdoor Areas
The exterior of your home needs plenty of attention, too.
Put away outdoor toys, wind up hoses, organize garden supplies, etc.
Once youre through, sweep out the garage to give the space a thoroughly clean feel.
The good news is, kids can get in on the action.
Depending on their ages, children can help pack lunches, feed pets, or wipe down surfaces.
Setting the table is another chore that your kids might be able to help out with, too.
Empower them to take charge of their individual spaces, making their bed daily, sweeping, and vacuuming.
Daily walks and plenty of pets should likely be on the list, too.
Taking it task-by-task and day-by-day will get your home in gear in no time.
Spread your weekly tasks out in whatever way makes most sense to you and your lifestyle.
Have a game plan in place so these bigger jobs are spread out throughout the month.
