Today is the first day of my new non-negotiable task of wiping the bathroom counters and toilets everyday. It . . . wasn't . . . that . . . bad. The main encouragement I got was that in the kids' bathroom and the half bath, it took less than a minute. This is because I have been doing something in these bathrooms for the last month. I haven't … [Read more...]
Finally making progress?
I'm continuing to work in the office this week. I cleared off the daybed today, and that made the entire room look so much better. I had cleared major chaos out of the back corner, and cleaned off the desk, but for some reason, clearing off the daybed makes a much bigger impact. I had to point out the other two things to my husband last week, but … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – Total Necessity
This is my fourth time to participate in Menu Plan Monday. Since keeping my home organized is my biggest struggle, having my menu planned out before the week begins has been huge for me. It's one more thing that is under control for the week. If you're a mom, have you ever felt that your life is spent entirely in the kitchen? I can remember when … [Read more...]

My new non-negotiable for the week
I've been thinking a lot about this one. I know what it needs to be, but I don't want to do it. I'm being a bit of a brat about it. For each of the last several weeks I've added one new non-negotiable task. They have all worked so much better than I expected. They have all been easier than I expected, mostly because doing them everyday keeps … [Read more...]

But for me, doing anything on a Saturday is an improvement. I've always resented that there is no such thing as a day off from housework. I need to get over it. … [Read more...]
Watched "Hoarders"
This afternoon I watched "Hoarders" on A&E. I had seen the beginning of it a few weeks ago and recorded the episode. It is a show about hoarders who are at the brink of some major crisis because of their hoarding. It isn't an intervention show really, but documents what they are going through. In this episode, there was a young family who … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
I'm later than usual getting this post done since we were up at school this morning and then had a playdate today. The good news is that my very supportive best friend who knows how bad my messiness is was totally impressed with my house. Today I:Made bed. (I've been doing this everyday (except one) for over a month now, so I hope it's a … [Read more...]
Can a Germaphobe be a Slob?
I installed a sitemeter about two weeks ago to see if anyone was visiting my blog. It is the coolest thing ever. It tells me how people found my site. I can see how many visits I got from linking up on Tackle it Tuesday, Menu Plan Monday, or wherever. It also tells me if someone found me by a google search. Someone, and I don't know if you're … [Read more...]
