Getting house ready with a 3 year old whirlwind of destruction!

Awesome! Thanks for all the tips. Glad to know I’m not the only one struggling with this one. I will definitely have to get more baskets haha. I swear my daughter just finds things and drags them across our house. So running upstairs to downstairs to put little things away is just too exhausting! I’ll have to put a baby lock on his closet because my daughter is so excited and loves going in his closet. I definitely try to focus on clean more than organized lol but definitely feel like both are hard to keep up with. I swear I find gooey or food hand prints everywhere hahaha when I think I’ve got it clean the lighting in the house changes and it’s a mess again! I’ve contemplated just running around without my glasses on lol but then you’ve got a whole host of new problems hahaha.

Baskets. Put everything in baskets. When youre tired of looking at the baskets, shove them into closets & voila instant clean.

Girl I feel ya. This baby # 3 and boy #3 for us. And omg i cant keep my house clean for more than 2 min. I pretty much clean when the kids are at nanas and by the next day you'd never guess it. And on top of that the arguing & tantrums...whew. I feel ya ?

We are trying to paint nursery and a childlock is keeping that out of bounds while all the baby stuff is piling up behind the locked doors of the office.

Oh and the floors havent been mopped in like 2 months. Told my husband i literally can't. He's gotta do it or i will end up in labor. Last time i did it it about did me in

All of the baby stuff is organized in the guest bedroom. I explained to my son, who just turned 4, that it's stuff for the baby and not to touch it. Since baby will be in my room for the 1st few months she doesn't have a room set up. I just focus on 1 thing at a time and it's usually taking care of my son. Don't stress the housework too much.

Honestly my house is a mess. I mean don't get me wrong, my bathrooms and my kitchen are clean, but I have a pile of clean clothes that I don't even want to hang up, theres toys everywhere and nothing is really in its place. I'm so tired now, dh works 12 hour days so it's just me keeping up with the house and I have a 3 year old. But honestly as long as its clean I'm not too worried about it being organized.

I’m gonna let my husband and mother do the cleaning and organizing a few days before (being induced) and let my mother take my 3 year old to stay with her till we come home!
