For the past few days I have been working on a homemaker’s journal. A close friend “M” told me about hers and I thought it sounded like a great idea. Mine so far has a list of my monthly menus,shopping lists with coupons, B-B-Q list for the 4Th of July, and a cleaning schedule. I’m a little stuck on the cleaning schedule… If you have any ideas, please feel free to leave me a comment. Here is the list of areas that I clean:

Utility room/downstairs bathroom- Day to clean:1,14,26
Kitchen- Day to clean:2,15,27
Dining Room – Day to clean:3,16
Living Room- Day to clean:4,17,28
Foyer – Day to clean:5,18
Stairway- Day to clean:6,19
Upstairs Hallway/ Stockpile Closet- Day to clean:7,20
Hubby’s Office/Closet – Day to clean:8,21
Upstairs Bathroom/Closet- Day to clean:9,22,29
Master Bedroom/Closet -Day to clean:10,23
Boy’s Room/Closet – Day to clean:11,24,30
Back Porch/Backyard- Day to clean:12,25
Front Porch/Front Yard- Day to clean:13,26

I have assigned each area a day of the month that I can clean, along with my everyday picking up. I’m open to suggestions to make the job easier. I hope that this helps me out with the cleaning around here. I need all the help that I can get…
