EVERYDAY KIT DO'S:

So, today is an "even day" and a Monday on the KIT list so I've already completed my 1 load of laundry and made the bed with fresh sheets. Here's a quickie description of what I do to make the cleaning process easier, faster, and hopefully low hassle. And remember, my house is tiny and I only have 2 beds to make and all hard surface flooring so vacuuming is a must. If you decide to follow the KIT plan, feel free to modify it to meet your household needs. Or feel free to tell me if you think this plan is the most ridiculous thing ever.... I don't care cuz it works for me!

EVERYDAY RULES:

1. Now, I have never had a dish washer since the day we've been married. (8 lovely years) So, If I can keep the number of dishes stacked in the sink to a minimum then my life is much easier. I start by emptying the rack of dried dishes from the night before, then wash the new ones and set out to dry. Then, in the evening repeat the process. Simple, fast, and it helps that I have a beautiful view out the kitchen window :)

2. Quick theory, kids should be responsible for doing chores from a young age. So starting at the age of 2 I think they can help in the nightly clean -up process as part of their bedtime routine. (with help of coarse) So for every year they are in age, they pick up around their room for that equal number of minutes. (example: 3 yr old picks up his room for 3 min each night) But it max's out at 10 min at the age of 10.

Doing a quick sweep through the house to straighten couch cushions and pick up piles of shoes will dramatically change the way you feel when you walk into your living room each morning. It gives you a fresh start.
