The Peaceful Home

The making of a peaceful home, begins each day.

The way that you begin each day will help you to maintain a peaceful home each day. So what I am going to do is explain the purposes of good housekeeping.

To begin with, when you first wake up in the morning before you do anything else, you need to make your bed. If your married your spouse can help, that makes it easier. When your bed is neatly made and the pillows all back on the bed, it gives you a sense of order. Even if the rest of the room is still a little messy.

Now after your bed is made, you need to get your showers, changed and dressed. Then clean the bathroom. Make everything neat and orderly, clean the tub, put any dirty laundry into the washer, do a general straightening up. (you can do any major cleaning later if needed, this is just to maintain a bathroom that is already in order).

*Note it is easier to maintain than it is to put things into order that are very much scattered and out of order.

Okay, next after that the bathroom is done, what you should do is go eat a good breakfast. You need to make your breakfast your biggest meal of the day. (Especially if you are trying to loose weight).

*Note, as a time saver, you can make breakfast the night before in your crockpot, check out some of the crockpot recipes online.

After your breakfast would be a great time to get the kitchen completely cleaned up. And to make any salad's or jello or any other item you may use for lunch or supper later on. (this will save you time later on during the day). Decide as early as possible what's for dinner. This will save you having to think of something later on. And possibly save you from just giving up, and ordering some type of fast food.

*Note, being prepared for lunch and supper can save you money later on in the day, when you are more likely to be more tired.

After your kitchen is cleaned the next area that you should do is whatever area unexpected company is likely to see first. Such as your livingroom, if you have already cleaned and organized it previously, this will be a simple matter of just a little dusting as needed, vaccumming opening curtains, picking up anything anyone has left in the livingroom the night before.
