Cleaning Tips? Free Maid Service? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?

If you have any cleaning/organizing tips, I'd love to hear them.  Honestly, I consider myself to be a pretty organized person.  As a matter of fact, my almost-two year old actually helps me put his toys away, will put his books back on the shelf, will actually help the teachers at daycare put toys away, so I'm fairly certain it's in my DNA and hence my child inherited my cleanliness.  I think he watched me sweep so many times when he was an infant, to this day if the broom is out, he will push it around the living room.  And we have three dogs.  We sweep a lot.

My husband comes home from work and will empty his pockets on any shelf in the living room.  I will go behind him and put his belongings in the same corner of the same shelf every single time.  I will hang his keys on the key chain hanger thingy.  I've compromised with him on this.  Originally, I was of the mind set that those belongings needed to be in the bedroom on the dresser, but I got tired of fighting that, so I just put them in a corner where I don't have to look at them all of the time.  

I have anxiety, and it's tied directly to my environment.  If I'm in a messy place, I can literally feel my anxiety climb, can literally not be able to sit and relax until it's organized, or cleaned.  I grew up in a massively cluttered house.  We would get a knick-knack every vacation we took, sometimes several knick-knacks.  (We went on a lot of vacations.)  Needless to say, these knick-knacks just became huge dust collectors and shelf space taker-uppers.  So, I lived in that place for 18 years.  Once I got my own place, I decided, sure, I'd have souveneirs, but I'm going to have a neat, crisp environment. 

Enter: man.  Enter: child.  A bomb has exploded.

Don't get me wrong.  I love my husband, and I wouldn't change him for anything.  My child is the light of my life.  But, holy hell balls.  They have so much stuff!! Thankfully, as I've previously stated, child of mine will clean and help me organize.  Husband, will try.

I know I was just blubbering on and on about wanting another baby, and yes, this is true.  Am I willing to sacrifice some of my anxiety-ridden cleaning freak-ness?  Most definitely.  I do think I would be able to deal with this weird quirk of mine.  Could I do it in my current abode?  Hell fucking no.  

This place is not big enough for 4 humans and 3 canines.  Absolutely not.  My husband is working tirelessly to put us in a better position to be able to buy a house this time next year.  Mark my words: April/May 2017, this family will be packing their oodles and oodles of belongings up, and we will be moving into a house, hopefully built to our specifications and to our needs.
