Do you want to take care of your house like a 1950's housewife? Try this daily cleaning schedule. I promise your house will shine!
At the time, it was very important for the housewife to keep an organized, clean and welcoming home.
"The most important work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own home." - Harold B. Lee
I personally handle the house, grocery shopping, cleaning and keeping the house organized. Not because I'm a woman, and that's how my husband tells me. Pff please! as if!
But because I love this work. Because I am proud to have a clean and tidy home, to cook for my husband who works so hard for us and our home.
He helps me several times and he’s a great cook! but that's how we get organized and I wouldn't want it any other way!
"Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family" - Grace Kelly
I have been very inspired by their daily schedule and by what they were trying to achieve daily. I have come up with ideas to incorporate into my daily cleaning schedule and i hope you will too.
