"Little" Help Counts


On a weekend, we are a family of four. On weekdays, we are a family of three.

As a stay-at-home mom who does not know how to drive, I have all the time in the world to do all the house chores a wife and mother is "supposed" to do. But as most stay-at-home moms know and can relate to, it is not easy as it sounds. There's more to that. As easy as it looks, there's more responsibility involve and thus at times wears you off.

It's surprising how the mess is endless.  Sure enough I clean up but clutter always catches up with me. So I made a rule with the two kids in the house - the 12 year old and my 5 year old - all they have to do is clean up their bedrooms. And they are doing it. Maybe not as clean as it would be if I cleaned it myself, but close enough :)

Now each of them is cleaning their rooms since I stopped doing it. I have to put a foot down to implement the rules and this is one of them. Once they get the hang to this, I will go to the next one.

I can't do a before and after since this blog was not planned. As always, I randomly press the keyboard  :)D

Here's how the rooms look now. 



The 12-year old's room and desk. She did well. A 90% change! I am very proud of her for keeping her room tidy.

My 5-year old's room. I gave away toys he does not play with anymore. And I see to it he pick up his toys before bedtime and make up his bed before or after school.
