Back-to-School in Travis Heights: Keeping Homes Sane When Life Gets Messy
If August was the month of moving, September is the month of schedules.
School drop-offs, soccer practices, aftercare pickups, homework battles, and somehow still making dinner — it all piles up fast. And the house? Let’s just say it’s usually the first thing to slide.
We’ve been helping families in Travis Heights and Bouldin Creek get back into rhythm this month, and the same theme keeps coming up:
“We just don’t have the time to keep up anymore.”
And that’s the reality — no one’s house is perfect during the school year. But there’s a big difference between “lived-in” and “overwhelmed.” That’s where recurring cleaning comes in.
What does that look like?
Floors don’t crunch when the kids run barefoot from the kitchen to the living room. Bathrooms are fresh enough that you’re not embarrassed when neighbors drop by. Counters are cleared so you can actually find a place to set down backpacks and water bottles.
We’re not aiming for museum-level spotless. We’re aiming for a home that feels calm when everything else in life feels chaotic.
And with recurring cleans, that chaos never gets a chance to pile up.
One of our clients in Travis Heights told us this week that she finally feels like she’s not “losing the house” — her words, not ours. Just knowing that we’ll be in every other week gives her room to breathe.
That’s what we’re here for. Not just clean homes — sane families.
