Today I’m going to share my simple after dinner routine. It doesn’t take long and it makes sure that my morning starts right by walking downstairs to a clean kitchen.

It starts once we have finished eating dinner and the leftovers are put away in the fridge.
My Simple After Dinner Routine
1. Load the dishwasher. The dishwasher is loaded with the dirty dishes and turned on.
2. Hand Wash Dirty Pans. Any dishes or pots and pans that are not able to go in the dishwasher are hand washed, dried and put away.
3. Clean Counters and Stove Top. Next, the counters and stove top are wiped down.
4. Clean The Table. The next step is to wipe clean the placemats and remove any crumbs from the table.
5. Sweep The Floor. The floor is swept and the recycling is taken out to the large bin by the girls.
6. Replace The Dishtowel. I replace my dishtowel so a clean one is waiting for the morning.
7. Set Out Breakfast Dishes. Lastly, I set out our breakfast dishes and cereal for the morning.
Now it’s time to relax and enjoy family time. Everyone has time to play, read, finish homework, watch t.v. together or talk.
