six ways to keep your house sane & maintained
We get it, the summer months can be insane. Especially if you have little ones running around. So, Lemon & Pine has put together six easy tips to keep your house a little less messy and a little more put together.
Hire a cleaning service to take the stress off
Having a company come in wether it’s once a week or once a month to clean the entire house really helps you to keep it maintained in between. Bonus you get to spend more time doing the things you really want to do!
Get organized
You can choose to hire a company or do it yourself but having a system and place for all your belongings keeps your life tidy and easier to clean.
Everyday must do list for the kids
Get the kids helping, depending on their age have them make their beds, keep their rooms clean, help with the dishes and take out the garbage.
Spend more time outside than inside
But, when you do come in make sure to take those shoes off at the door! We want the dirt to stay outside. Send the kids out to play and have them eat their snacks and lunch outside. Picnics are so fun, outside family dinners or even bringing dinner to the lake. Less crumbs and mess for clean up!
Pick up after yourselves
Don’t just drop things where you are. Take the extra minute and put it in its spot. Have bins for things like your keys and wallet on the front table or a bin on the stairs for things that need to go up to the bedrooms.
Chores.. delegate, delegate, delegate
Everyone needs to help and do those chores once a week to keep life sane. Pick a day and stick to it
