Maintaining my home clean and organized

Ever since I had Alisa, I have been struggling with finding enough time to clean my home. I am sure every Mom feels that way. I would rather spend time with my precious daughter. However, maintaining a clean and organized home invites the Spirit into it and facilitates order and happiness.
My goal is to maintain the house every day, so I don't have to spend the whole day (or a few days) scrubbing and using harsh chemicals. I will clean an area in my house each day. The rest of the house will get fast touch ups.

Monday: bathroom
Tuesday: kitchen
Wednesday: living room and dining room
Thursday: nursery
Friday: bedroom

I will do a batch of laundry every other day.
Tuesday: kids
Thursday: whites
Saturday: colors and towels

Strive to take care of dirty dishes right after making them

Balance in my life

I am constantly working on finding the right balance in my life. I am happy. Heavenly Father blessed me generously. I sometimes look around me and everything inside me smiles. I also am a person who wants to be better and better every day. I read tons of material that I think will help me improve in different areas of my life. Sometimes I try to reach higher than I am able to get by setting too many goals or not following through with them. I want to keep track of my goals and successes as well as struggles and falls. Maybe it will help someone else too.
