Keeping Clean
Keeping a clean house can be tough, if you don't want to spend your work day cleaning. When you and the kids are home all day, the house naturally gets messier than when you're gone. Keep the clutter under control by cleaning as you work.
Make a habit of integrating household chores into your movements around the house. Clean up toys as you make your way to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. Throw in a load of laundry when you pass by the laundry room. Fold it while you're on the phone. Throw the breakfast dishes in the dishwasher while your computer starts up.
Not only will this help clean up the existing clutter in your house, but if it is constantly on your mind, you'll find that you (though maybe not the kids) make less mess in a day home.
