For that matter, spending 10 minutes walking around the living areas and doing a quick pick-up before bed isn&#8217;t a bad idea either.<\/div>\n<p>Over the years I have developed a habit of doing the dishes right after dinner. Since we have kids, they are assigned jobs to help get the kitchen cleaned up. Some clear the table, some put the food away, one wipes the table, and one sweeps or vacuums. I do the dishes. Even on our messiest days, dinner clean up takes less than 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The benefit is that we wake up to a clean kitchen. We can start our days without having to play catch up from the night before.  Instead of our school time in the morning being delayed by a massive clean up effort, we can start school early. My kids aren&#8217;t hanging around waiting for me to finish cleaning in order for us to have our bible time.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"dsc05273.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/dsc052733.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Nightly clean up works for us, what works for you?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever gone to bed with your kitchen looking like this?
