Screaming Meme's Silly Cleaning Tips
- Turn up the music and rock out!...Sing, dance, leap with the broom in the air!...:) I have been known to do a little Flash Dancing or Grease Lighting moves to get the job done...:) It will pass the time so much more quickly...And you will laugh and have fun at the same time!
- I clean in between HGTV or my blogging...:)
- I set a timer and try to beat the clock...Most of the time I do! That is a fun one for the kids, as well!
- I take breaks...I will run an errand or go for a quick jog...And then come back to it...The only rule....you have to finish the task before leaving!
- I have learned to have the kids help out more...I would try to do it all when they were young...I learned it was good for them to help out...and it made me in a better mood, too! It teaches them the importance of keeping a clean and tidy home...gets them prepared for the real world of laundry and yard work and it makes the whole family work together to get things done...If you have trouble getting them to help....make it a game....Or turn it into a competition....Who can find the most blue items and put them away? Try having the kids shoot dirty laundry into the hamper...Or get them going a little Grease Lighting...:)
- Work together... one room at a time...It will go by faster...And they won't feel so overwhelmed....
