Our family is working to build better habits, and I’m sharing them with you each week through the Family Boot Camp series. This week my focus is on cleaning up the upstairs each day, especially after quiet time.
Daily quiet time is an important part of our routine, but one aspect we’ve struggled with is cleaning up the upstairs afterward.
We’ve actually always required the girls to clean up after their “nap”, but we have not been very good at checking their rooms to be sure they are really clean, which means we’re often surprised by messes at bedtime. It also means I’ve been stuck doing a major clean upstairs every few weeks!
We’re really good at cleaning up downstairs each night before bed, so it was frustrating to not have those same routines in place upstairs, especially since I love the simplicity that comes from cleaning up every day: messes don’t get out of hand, we never have to devote several hours to cleaning up and we’re practicing the discipline of taking care of something right away rather than saving it from later.
