Honestly though, when it comes to keeping a tidy house I have found that for us spending a little time every day picking up/cleaning is much more manageable than spending an entire day doing all of it at once - - - really who wants to spend their day off cleaning?! Not this girl.
I have three boys ages 7, 4 & 18 months and each of them have a number of chores based on their age. Then (ideally) my hubby and I share the remaining housework between us. Our kids have 'chores' from a very young age so that they will learn responsibility, team work, and to serve others. I want my sons to bless their wives someday by serving them eagerly and they learn that from watching my husband serve me and from practicing it themselves at home.
Lastly, I find that if I make sure three these things get done everyday I am able to keep the mess under control. Each day I make sure that I - - -
1. Start a load if laundry as soon as I wake up in the morning (right after I take a few sips of coffee).
2. Spend 10-15 minutes putting things away. We all have a spot that has a nasty habit of becoming cluttered.
3. End the day with a clean sink - pots and pans washed and dishwasher loaded.
