Here's part three of my homemaking series.
There may things on here that apply to me but not you or vice versa, plus there might be things that I forget so just use this as a guideline.
Also the frequency may be different for you. I vacuum a lot more now that we have a baby. Before the baby I could get by with once a week, now I vacuum 3 to 4 times a week; once he's crawling it will probably be even more.
