✨ How To Never Have A Dirty House- EVER
Food System
If you love to cook, you can skip over this section. However, I found myself constantly having to think, “What am I going to eat today?” There are days when I’m working 12-hour days, and having to go out and buy food made me feel unhealthy, but I also didn’t want to have to cook and clean after. One thing I did recently was create a food system, and it's been amazing with our busy schedules as entrepreneurs and soon-to-be parents.
We started using a meal prep company called Cook Unity, and so far, I like it more than the other ones I’ve used. Lol, no, this is not some sponsorship, but you do get $50 off if you use my friend code.
However, it’s not just about having dinners but about snacks like fruits, veggies, and household essentials we use weekly. For all that, I set up weekly groceries to be sent to my house through Amazon Fresh. You can set it up to where every Sunday it will load your cart to your recurring items, and all you do is check out. It’s so nice because they deliver right to my doorstep. I never have to worry about driving to a grocery store, thinking about what I want to eat that day, or even carrying any groceries into my apartment.
Also, I love Target pickup for the rare occasion when I have to go to the grocery store! I order what I need through the app, and they bring it to my car.
Now, you might think this is a bit extreme, but It saves me so much time, and as an entrepreneur and soon-to-be mom, this food system is something that will work for me and my family, which I love. I love optimizing every area of my life.
Early Bird Catches The Warm- Morning System
If you want to change something, you have to make it as easy as possible for you to change. For example, I sometimes struggle to wake up early, but I implement mini systems to make it easier for me. For instance, I use a Hatch. It’s a smart clock that plays ocean music for me at night to help me sleep, and in the morning, it shines a bright light in my room with my choice of music to wake up to. This has been a nice add-on to my morning routine, but one thing I recently started doing has been a game changer.
My fiance programmed the temperature in our house to be 72 degrees when we sleep because you go into deeper and better sleep in cold temperatures. In the morning, the temperature automatically heats up and literally wakes me up because I am burning up. Think about it: it's so much harder to get out of bed when you're cozy, and it is much easier to jump out of bed when you’re sweating and literally don’t want to be under the covers anymore since it’s so hot. Lol, I know this may sound funny. But honestly, give it a try; it’s been amazing! TV
How To Never Have A Dirty House- EVER
I have been implementing many house systems because I know the baby will be here in a couple of months, and I want to make the transition as easy as possible. One thing I feel like I have nailed is creating a good cleaning/night routine. I feel like you can't be clear-minded with a dirty home and imagine adding a newborn into the mix. Here are some of my tips on how we keep our home in good order.
The first thing I want to preach is the fewer things you own, the less clutter you can have. I don’t own much stuff, including clothes, furniture, and even cooking utensils. And even with the little things I own, I am still trying to get rid of more things.
Next, I have the Shark robot that automatically cleans the floors of my house at 9 am daily. Also, we recently stopped wearing shoes in our home, and it’s been a game-changer!!! I used to feel like it was a little weird when people did this, but it’ll never go back. Our floors always feel so clean, and if someone comes over and doesn’t feel comfortable taking their shoes off, I will give them little booties to go over their shoes, which helps keep our floors so clean.
Now lets talk dishes since so many people always have dirty dishes in their sink. What we do is every night we run the dishwasher with all the dirty dishes from the day and in the morning I will unload the washer so anything that gets dirty throughout the day goes straight in the washer. We also don’t have a lot of dishes, so you will never find a large pile. I used to be against dishwashers, but mine at my new house works amazing!
Lastly, doing a quick 10-15 cleaning every night is a game changer. So before bed, Ralph and I will quickly clean up the entire house so we never go to bed with a dirty home. During this time, we will pick up any dog toys, run the dishwasher, give the dogs food for the next morning, take out the trash for the day, and wipe down all the countertops. This mini cleaning routine has been a game changer and we have been sticking to it for a while now. I have you guys like my mini home systems series. If you only take one tip its to get rid of of the clutter.
