How i keep house fairly organised

Ok so i have had lots of mums on FB ask where to i get my energy from How do i get so much done in a day ??? Well NO i have very low energy and Very low iron i suffer Endometrious so some days i can barly move outa bed BuT being a mum you have to keep on going .....

So here is How i get things done and keep a fairly ok looking house :)

Kids are woken up on school days Between 6-6;30

they have breakfast ,

then get dressed,

do teeth ,

and all the other jobs

then its UP TO THE KIDS to clean the table and eldest age nearly 8 puts the dishes away ,

the middle child age 6 vacumes the breakfsat area and then they put the lunch boxes, drinks in school bags and have them either in car or at frount door to go .

They have to make beds and put pjs away and tidy bathroom before we go to school ,

Now to MAKE MY JOB EVEN EASIER

The night before we put our school bags out with all homework and whatever is due in in the bag we put our school uniform socks and shoes out so its all there no looking for stuff in morning ,

i have lunch boxes half packed and out on bench ready .

During this time i have showerd dressed made hubby is cuppa to take to work and either throw a load of washing in or hang or dry Or fold ,

then i come home after school drop of or before i leave and organise tea

ok so thats my morning before school also helps kids to have a chart to know what to do and what needs to go in bag each day as my middle daughter has learning disabilitys i am currently making tags to hang on her bag so she knows what to check for and know what needs to go in her bag a smaller version of what we have on a day chart that says what day each child has liabry and homework and sports keeps mummy organised and kids know what to look for depending on age this can be photos or words xxx have a great day
