Hey Mama, we all know how much easier life feels when our home is organized and stress-free, right? A beautiful home doesn’t just happen; it thrives on systems that keep things running smoothly. Whether you’re juggling work, family, or just trying to stay on top of the daily tasks, these five systems I have created will help you keep your home gorgeous and your mind at peace in 2025.
1. Declutter as You Go
Instead of waiting for a full-blown decluttering session, tackle clutter daily. Dedicate 10 minutes each evening to put things back where they belong. Trust me, it’s a game-changer that has safe me a lot of headache!
2. Laundry System That Works
Say goodbye to laundry piles! Create a weekly laundry schedule and stick to it. For instance, designate Mondays for whites, Wednesdays for colors, and Saturdays for bedding. This is really important for big families (family of 4-5 and above).
3. Meal Prep & Kitchen Organization
Keep your kitchen stress-free by organizing pantry staples and prepping meals ahead of time. Use clear jars, labels, and baskets to keep everything easy to find. I also bulk shop for 2 weeks – 1 month with help me reduce stress.
4. A Cleaning Schedule You Can Stick To
Break down cleaning tasks into manageable chunks. Assign a different room or task to each day so it doesn’t pile up. For example, clean bathrooms on Wednesdays and vacuum on Fridays. Choosing to do tasks on certain days of the week e.g. mopping the floors helps me not feel overwhelm with hips of chores.
5. Family Involvement System
Get everyone involved! Assign age-appropriate chores to each family member. Make it fun by turning it into a mini competition or using a reward chart. I don’t have a chalk board in my house but as a designer, I created a daily task journal for my 3 children and the get excited every time they get to tick off a task after they complete it.
Why Systems Matter
