As a busy mom, you deserve a clean and organized home that gives you more quality time with your family. With these simple tasks, you can make a big difference in the cleanliness and organization of your home. As a busy mom myself I am excited to share these tips with you. Let’s dive in and create a family- friendly environment that will bring peace and joy to your home.
Finish Outdoor Projects
As summer winds down, take the time to finish any outdoor projects you started. Whether it’s gardening, painting, or landscaping, completing these tasks will enhance your home’s curb appeal and give you a sense of accomplishment.
Create a Family Command Center

Get your family on the same page by setting up a family command center. This central hub will keep everyone organized and informed. Use a bulletin board or a chalkboard to past schedules, to-do list, and important messages. Add a calendar for tracking appointments, school events, and family outings. With a family command center, everyone will be on track, and you’ll save time searching for those notes and schedules.
Deep Clean your Kitchen
A clean and organized kitchen is the heart of a happy home. Start by clearing and decluttering countertops to create more space for food prep. Then, tackle the inside of cabinets, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Dispose of expired items and donate what you don’t need. A sparkling kitchen will not only make cooking a breeze but also make family meal time more enjoyable.

Organize Pantry for the Fall
As summer transitions to fall, it’s time to organize your pantry. Take stock of your food supplies and arrange them in a way that makes sense. Group similar items together, like baking supples and canned goods. Consider using clear Storage containers to keep everything visible and fresh. An organized pantry will save you time and money durning your busy days.
Clean Floors, baseboards & Carpet
August is the perfect time to give your floors some TLC. Sweep, vacuum, and mop all floors, paying special attention to baseboards. Use a carpet cleaner to refresh your carpets and remove any stains or odors. Clean floors not only make your home look inviting but also creates a healthier living environment for your family.
Organize Closets
Say goodbye to cluttered closets! Take some time to declutter and organize your closets, getting rid of clothes that no longer fit or items you don’t use. Invest in storage solutions like bins, shelves, and hanging organizers to maximize space and keep everything tidy. An organized closet will simplify your mornings and reduce stress.

Assess Your Fall Decor
Get ready for cozy season ahead by assessing your fall decor. Bring out warm-colored pillows, throws and decorative items that create a welcoming atmosphere. Add some autumn touches to your family command center and entryway. Embrace the season and make your home feel like a cozy retreat.
Inspect your Roof and Siding for Wear and Damage
Protect your home from the elements by inspecting your roof and siding. Look for signs of wear, leaks, or damage and address them promptly. Hiring a professional inspector can give you peace of mind and prevent costly repairs down the road.
