Bettering Myself

So as a stay at home mom I am attempting to find ways to ease my life with juggling cooking cleaning taking care of 2 small kids and being pregnant, along with getting time to my husband and a small amount to myself. I used to try to get everything done in one day around the house, but I would turn around and the house would be wrecked in 2 mins so I decided to spread the " chores" out through out the week. I started putting post it notes all over the house and each post it has something that needs to be done a certain day of the week.. and since I have done this the houee has seemed cleaner and my everything seems alot calmer for me. Does anyone else do things like this around their home?

hi Lilly When I wo rked part time I would try to do one room each day and pick up on the weekends. My hubby and my son often did the floors and the wash so things went pretty smoothly for me. I did really feel better about working seeing that one whole room was neat and tidy and then I would tackle another one a different afternoon. my son and hubby often cleaned one room for me too so It was not big problem as I often had to fill in for someone who was ill then worked more hours again. My husband was physcially handicapped from a colostomy so was not working. He really was a love at helping out.
