Tip #1: Automate Chores
It's easy to go from a squeaky clean house to what looks like a hurricane came through your home in the matter of days without a little chore automation or routine. Here are KOPS we are huge fans of the Clean Mama routine which designates a specific chore each day along with a quick daily chore checklist. We have a sticker sampler based on this very system. If this system doesn't work for you - make your own! Pick a chore to complete each day that takes no more than 10-15 minutes and mark it in your planner each week (preferably with a sticker because stickers make everything more fun and we have TONS of cleaning stickers).
Automating your chores and building a cleaning routine not only keeps your home clean and tidy up but keeps you sane!
