Running a home with ease might seem like a myth to some people, especially if there are children involved. Home life really is a blessing, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy. The more people you have in your clan, the more hectic life is going to feel. There will be constant cleaning, accidents, washing up, laundry, dishes, and everything else you can think to do on what might seem like a daily basis. That’s just on a good day, there are those days where everything seems to break, and the house feels like it’s falling apart at the seams. So we’re here to show you how you can run your home with ease with just a few simple tips.

Routine

 

If you want to run your home with ease, you need to get a routine going on. Trying to manage the daily running of a home, looking after children, and working or doing a home business is a challenge for sure. In a way, you need a regimented structure. For example, one night of the week can be dedicated to a certain person's wash, the next night will be another person's, once they’re dry, spend time folding and putting away, you then shouldn’t have to do it on the weekend!

Have a master menu for two weeks of meals.  Leave space to add additional items.  Have it in your computer ready to print or a laminated copy you can use a dry erase marker on.  When it is shopping time, just cross off what you already have and add what need or want to get.  You could also prepare two meals at once and freeze one of them for a busier night or prepare some parts of future meals as you are preparing this meal (for example: if you getting dishes dirty to cut onions, you may as well cut several onions and freeze them for future meals). 

Have a regular bedtime and routine including Bible reading and prayer and tucking in of children.  Also, having your own routine before you get into bed will make life in general much smoother. People are often feeling so rushed constantly, and struggle to get a good night's sleep. If you plan to have your makeup off, hair taken care of, and tucked up in bed by 10 o’clock each night, you’ll be ready for a good night's sleep that’ll leave you energized for the next day.

 

Managing Issues

 

As we said, there are usually disasters that go wrong in a home that can often leave you wondering why you ever bought a home in the first place. Two of the most common issues are definitely power outages and water leaks. For power outages, it might be worth investing in a generator in case the power is down for long. This usually happens during periods of bad weather such as storms. If you’re not sure what to get, check out websites such as generators.reviews to see what the best one for your home may be. There’s nothing worse than trying to run a home, especially one with children, when you’ve got no power for hours. As for the water leaking into your home issue, there’s not much you can do to stop it and it usually happens at completely the wrong time. But if you purchase a dehumidifier you’ll be able to reverse the damage quicker, and make sure you have a trusted plumber to fix the issues asap!

 

Get The Family Involved

 

This is the best way of managing a household. The more hands you have doing things, the quicker and more efficiently they’ll get done. So, set your children chores that they need to do each day. It could be hoovering, washing up etc. You can then reward them with some chocolate or a bit of money at the end of each week. When there’s so much mess to clean, usually made by them, it’s a blessing to have them help clean up.
