keep my kitchen clean

School has started, and I am consumed. DH has been somewhat helpful, but the whole house is just sad. Hope I can get back to working on this soon.

Did pretty good. Now we’ll see what happens when DH gets home today. ;)

...got behind again, but did a serious cleaning of the kitchen Friday, including changing out to my spring candles. Hopefully this time I can keep up.

Boy did I get behind last week. But I’m pretty much caught up now. It’s amazing how much more piled up dishes bother you when you have been keeping up with them.

Sweeping the floor & wiping down the counters more often. Not every day, but definitely more than once a week.

Getting back into the FLYlady routines definitely helps. Not perfect yet, but my kitchen has been looking pretty good. My sink is shiny most every evening. I’m sure I will consider this habit accomplished by Christmas.

So, I was super sick for two weeks and then we went on vacation. My whole house kind of went downhill. But, now that I’ve mostly recovered, I’m cooking again and cleaning as I go. I even made sure the dishwasher was filled and started this evening when I put up the leftovers. All is not lost, yay for me!

The kitchen isn’t still perfect, but I can see that I’m getting somewhere.

I’m definitely seeing improvement this week. Now that I’m slowly getting into the habit of taking care of dishes as soon as they’re used, things are much easier. And, the bonus is that DH is enjoying getting used to a clean kitchen, so he’s starting to do his part to help out. :)

Now we’ll see if we can refine this into a true habit.

Grr… I was sick this last week, so the kitchen looks terrible. I /know/ it is a possible goal. I think I can, I think I can….

This week wasn’t perfect, but I can see improvement. The key is to immediately get the dishes in the dishwasher instead of saying, “Oh, there’s only a couple.” Things don’t pile up if I don’t let them. Still much work to be done, but I’m going in the right direction.
