Cleaning Days

I’m still working on a household cleaning schedule that fits my schedule. I’ve been taking notes on my phone, and journaling my chores too. So far I’ve noticed that Tuesday and Thursday are my deep cleaning/icky chores day. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are usually light-cleaning days.

I’ve been shopping on Wednesdays, but I think I’m going to have to switch that back to Mondays. Monday seems to be the day of the week that I have the most energy.

When it comes to weekends, those are my busiest work-days. I try to leave Saturday open, and tend to errands, or whatever task needs accomplished. Sundays are filled with baking, and getting ready for the week ahead.

What about you… Do you have a list or schedule that keeps you on track with household chores?

More Cold Weather Is On The Way

Today it was in the 50’s and oh so lovely, by midnight, it is supposed to snow again. Oh goodness, I am more than ready for Spring weather.

I got the house stocked up, and I picked up a little bit of yarn too. Just in case we get snowed in over the weekend.

I’ve made a batch of Cinnamon Rolls.

I started a new book this week too. I think I’m up to number five for the year.

I’m also working on three different blankets (so far) for Christmas.

I think I’m set, bring on the snow!

Going In Fast Forward

The last few months have seemed like they have gone by way too quickly. I wish that these busy days would slow down just a bit.

Time to get back to it… There are a few loads of laundry calling my name.

What A Week

This week went by in a hurry, and we still have a lot going on this weekend. Today we are celebrating Thade’s birthday with lots of friends from school, lots of pizzas, and lots of video games. Thade also has another birthday party to go to tomorrow.

Earlier in the week, James was in Florida, the kids were anxious for him to get home. Thade’s birthday was Thursday, Dylan had a fantastic music program on Thursday night. I had room mom duties for Friday at preschool, the kiddos were celebrating Kansas Day! I finished up two big crochet projects, one I had been working on for over a year and a half.We capped off the weekdays with a trip to my favorite shop, and I came across some amazing finds! Better get this post done quickly, I’ve got a chocolate Bundt cake to frost for today’s party.

Have a fantastic weekend everybody!

This Week

This week has been all about finishing little projects here and there. I caught up all of the laundry, and the dishes too from last week’s migraines. I’ve also finished reading my first book for the year, and I finished up a crochet project too.

This week I also have a lot to do before Thade’s birthday. There are cakes and cupcakes to bake, room mom duties at preschool, and Dylan has a fun music program too. Time to get to it…
