2 questions, need feedback

Question 1:
For those of you with tiny littles, when do you do your weekly house cleaning? Like vacuum, dust (not always weekly), bathrooms, mop, etc. Do you split it up over the week or do it all in one day. I like the idea of doing it all in a day and having a clean house for the weekend (if done on Friday), and just doing basic maintenance over the week (keeping things tidy and spot cleaning, as needed), but am afraid of it being too much in one day. But my home is very small, so it shouldn’t take too long, especially if things are already picked up.
Question 2:
What’s your favorite Christmas music? And other music for that matter? I don’t think we’ve bought more than 4-5 CDs since we’ve been married, and even then our music collection is in the hundreds, it’s old and outdated, and we only have a few Christmas CDs that are also old, especially when I insist that we listen to them from the day after Thanksgiving all the way through Christmas, and possibly New Years. :) Some of the Christmas music we have we both dislike, but still play it so we have a little more variety. :)
I have no routine. I do like the idea of doing it all on Friday though. Perhaps next week. As for Christmas music, we just got the Third Day Christmas CD and it is really good. I want to get the Jars of Clay one next... We can bring our Christmas music when we come.
I don't do it all in one day, although I'd love to have it all done at one time. It just doesn't work with our schedule, and my kiddos. So, I fit it in as I go. For instance, sometimes I'll clean bathrooms while the boys are in the bath. The kitchen gets cleaned up daily, but the heavier cleaning like mopping doesn't get done as often as it should. At this point in our lives, we go for sanitary and picked up. The boys can help put laundry away, and carry it to the garage for me so that's a big help. I usually do wash on Mondays and Fridays. Hope that helps. It's what works for us right now.
Hey Maggie, Molly Maids are my best friends. If you have a smaller sized house, it may not be super duper expensive, but I find that I am way more than willing to sacrifice and cut corners financially, in order to never do deep cleaning. Before we started using Molly Maids, I used to do like Steph said, clean bathrooms while kids are in the bath, clean kitchen and dining room when kids are eating, clean kids rooms while they are getting up or going down for the night, clean sink everytime I brush my teeth, etc. Then finish everything else up after kids are in bed (if I had the energy, if not, then it would just have to wait until morning) As far as Christmas music goes, I think my all time favorite Christmas albums are the Happy Christmas cds from BEC Recordings. But then I may be partial, because Josh's old band has songs on each of them. But they are compilations with each band doing a different song. Lots of fun!
