A stay at home mom and a homemaker, huh? I did that. At first when the babies were .. well, babies, I did have time to keep everything shiney and neat. Then they got older and I was busy. My house wasn't as neat, and sometimes was really a mess and that was so cool! Stay at home moms have a unique opportunity as a homemaker! They can actually spend time with their kids...read stories, play blocks, dance, sing, paint, build forts, and teach your kids to help keep the house neat and healthy. I never cleaned on a schedule. I cleaned as needed; and between the two jobs, my kids needed me a lot more than that house did. After all, it never called me mommy. Bathrooms and kitchens need to be cleaned, really cleaned, weekly; straightened daily. Bedrooms have doors for a reason...but some people like them to be neat and tidy. The rest of the house should reflect your standards of tidiness; make it healthy and safe, but don't make a clean house the focus of your life...after all who are you making the home for?

youre lucky! id kill to be a stay at home mom!! as far as a cleaning schedule goes, if youre more comfortable and on-task with one, then make one. otherwise just give yourself time and youll fall into your own schedule!

This website has some pretty good charts that you can print out and some good advice on what needs to be cleaned weekly ex: Vacuum, dusting....
Hope this helps a little. : )
