20-minute clean up!

The other morning we set the timer for 20 minutes and all had the mission of cleaning a room until the timer went off.  It was hugely successful! My husband loved that there was an end in sight to the chores for the day, my kids-mostly my daughter and my son helped me in his room a little-worked hard and loved having the "race" to finish. AND, I loved having 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms mostly cleaned in 20 minutes. It was more of a tiddy up, wipe down and vacuum kind of clean, but it worked! So if you're feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of messes in your house, set a timer and put everyone to work! :)
