Actually, I do try to use that as a general rule! You are so right, that needs to be on the list! Will add that! Thanks so much for commenting!

You mentioned nothing about laundry. Every time I visit my daughter she has SEVEN loads of laundry waiting for me. How about adding to your list: do ONE daily load to avoid build-up, mold and mildew.

Hannah, so glad you enjoyed something from my blog. I hope it helps you. In the previous comments I was just answering, we were talking about simplicity, and I think that does help tremendously. I hope that the baskets help! It sounds like you are doing a great job! Thanks for your kind words!! Hugs, Lynn

Tina, thank you so much for sharing that here! I am sure it will help people. I agree about simplicity. Life got complicated when we’d try to make things too sophisticated with charts and timers and schedules. Not saying those don’t work, because they do work, but sometimes I got carried away and spent more time planning than I did actually getting a few little things done! Thanks again!

When my aunt ran a busy dairy farm and raised her 5 kids… she had literally 5 outfits for each kid. (and a Sunday best)…when the clothes got down to 2 outfits.. shed do laundry. Her house was always immaculate….kids raised to be good kind caring people….simplicity is the key!

Yay! Revelation! A basket for CLEAN clothes! That will help so much, I think! I know that my older two girls will be able to help with this, and I believe they will all like “their own”. You have helped, and thank you! I have to remember to keep coming back to look at more of your entries, past and present. Your organizational tools are going to help me a lot. My mother and I are sharing house for a little while and have both enjoyed what you’ve shared of yours. Know that you are in our thoughts, and also our prayers!

Wow, Hannah! How busy you are! I remember those days, but you know what, I lived without a dryer for the first 14 years of my marriage. We hung everything out on the line or in the house. My husband helped a tremendous amount with the laundry. In fact, he hung out most of the clothes himself. We lived in a very old house without much “flow” when it came to usable space for laundry. My goal was to do at least one load a day and to keep things folded, even if they did not get put away. To me, a stack of nicely folded clothes (even if it was sitting on my bedside table!) was better than a basket of wadded up, wrinkled clothes sitting in the middle of the floor. Wish I could be more help. Something else that was helpful was giving each child their own laundry basket with their name on it and putting their clean clothes into that as they got older. If they put them away, good, but at least their clothes were in one spot. Hope this helps a little! Thanks for your kind comment!!

Hello!
I stumbled upon your page yesterday when I googled fish pond images. I saw “healthy homeschool” and knew I had to check that out!I’ve explored and now I’m at your cleaning schedule. I love it! Do you have any tips for laundry?
I’ve got four little ones of my own, but we’re opposite you- three girls, 8, 6, and 4, and one boy, 4 months. Do you remember what you did way back when….?
Wonderful site(s)!

Thank you so much, Halie! I appreciate your kind comment. And good for you! There is nothing like a clean home. Even clutter can be kept organized and clean.
