Evening Routine

As I said in my earlier post about my Morning Routine that when I started trying to be a better housewife I was having a hard time getting everything done, as soon as I would clean something it was messy again.  

So I made myself a morning routine and an evening routine. It took some time for me to get them down and to make them a habit, and I found I needed to adjusting it as I went, tell I found what worked for me. and still to this day I change it a little from time to time. Hey life changes so, so do our routines.

Here is my Evening Routine

5:20pm Put a load in the wash (I have a laundry routine I follow to the T and now my hubby never says, "I'm out of underwear!").

5:25pm Start making dinner

6:00pm Serve dinner.  Eat as a family at the dinner table.

6:25pm Put wash load in the dryer or on the line.

6:30pm Make lunches for the next day.

6:40pm Tidy kitchen, do dishes, turn on dishwasher, wipe counter, quick vacuum the kitchen floor, under the dinning chairs and the front door entryway. I have the Swiffer SweeperVac that I use for a quick pick up.

6:55pm Clean up for bed (wash my face, put Pj's on etc...)

7:05pm Straighten up the bathroom

7:10pm Do a walk through of the house (picking up anything that is out of place and putting it in my keep box)

7:20pm Clean out keep box

7:30pm Relax with hubby until bed.  Maybe fold laundry if I'm up for it.

I Hope this gives you some good Ideas.
