I wanted to spend undistracted time with my kids, but I also wanted to have a clean house – not a perfect home by any means, but one that was semi-clean and fairly organized.
How did I do it? I thought of a friend who I thought would be a good candidate, I asked her if she would like to bring her kids to my house and oversee a play date for all the kiddos while I cleaned.
She jumped at the idea, and our weekly Cleaning Swap began! During those two hours, there was no chit-chat! We cleaned, cleaned, cleaned until time was up and we would gab AFTER the cleaning was done!
After the first time, my friend and I were both hooked! We were amazed at how much we were able to get done during an uninterrupted two-hour time slot!
