After I stepped back from the kitchen and sank onto the couch with a cold glass of sweet tea, I thought about the things that will be needed to simply maintain a clean-ish kitchen on a daily basis. Obviously, for example, I'm not going to scrub the tops of my cabinets every day, or even every week. If I can manage to do it every few months, though, the grime might not be as bad. I think it also helps that I pared down the dust-catching items in an area that has the potential to be one of the grimiest in the house.
Again, I simply must sweep every day. But now that I'm on Day 2, I think the best time to sweep might be just before dinner (so that My Love comes home to a clean house). Sweeping after breakfast was a cause that was lost by snack time.
In general, though, I feel like keeping my kitchen counters wiped down daily and wiping the cabinets down when they are visibly dirty will keep the kitchen in shape. It also makes me feel better to get dirty dishes out of the sink as soon as possible.
