I *have* to clean my kitchen up after meals, and I plan meals to include clean up. My kitchen is just too busy for me to leave a mess until later. I plan simple, easy meals that the kids will actually eat (turkey roll ups, pb &j, homemade nuggets, etc) Meals that are made a head of time and don't require pots or pans
Anytime I've tried to get fancy the food goes in the garbage and not tummies (which is fine once in a while but hungry kids are crabby kids...
)After lunch as the kids excuse themselves, I load up their plates and utensils in the dishwasher. As they get to their mats, I wipe down the tables and counters and quickly sweep. If I didn't have a dishwasher I would probably use paper plates occasionally to give myself a break.
I personally find it hard to relax at nap time (or in the evenings) if the space around me isn't cleaned up.
this is me exactly !
