Personalized home organization
Entrepreneur, mom, & wife
Keeping an organized home with kids running around can feel like a never-ending battle, but trust me—it’s totally doable! As a mom of three (ages 7, 4.5, and 2), I’ve found some routines and simple tricks that help us keep the chaos under control while still letting my kids be kids. Here’s what’s working for us:
Routines are the secret sauce to staying organized in our house. Each one has a built-in cleanup step, which makes tidying up feel natural (most days, anyway).
These routines are consistent, so there’s less pushback, and they really help keep our space tidy.
Visual checklists have been a lifesaver, especially for the older two. In the morning and afternoon, they follow simple steps to stay on track. My seven-year-old can read his, and my 4.5-year-old uses picture-based checklists. It cuts down on the constant reminders (and my frustration!) because they know exactly what’s expected.
Not all kids are ready for the same level of responsibility, and that’s okay. I keep expectations realistic:
This way, everyone pitches in at their own level, and the play area stays manageable.
Let’s face it—cleaning isn’t anyone’s favorite activity. But with a little creativity, it doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Here are some ways I make cleanup time fun for my kids:
The best way to teach good habits is to model them yourself. I always join in during cleanup time and show them how I stay organized. Kids are like little sponges—they pick up so much just by watching you.
Keeping your home organized doesn’t mean the kids can’t have fun. By building routines and sprinkling in a little creativity, you can enjoy a clean(ish) home and raise kids who take pride in their space.
