Keeping House

Keeping House Ideas

This is one of my favourite places - keeping house. Yes if you think I am house proud - your right - I am!

Here I will list and show you pictures of ways we keep house and how we run our family life. I will list ways that you can make your lives easier, less complicated and save money along the way.

Routines and Lists

We use a lot of visuals within our home it makes it so much easier for the kids to know and see what is going on.

Here are some of the list of the way our house runs on a daily basis. We have these lists printed out on A4 and laminated and up on our walls for all to see often. If you would like copies email to you please email me at snoopstravels@bigponddotcom  when they are emailed they have a lovely background not just plan white.
