Daily Checklist – A Few Days Worth

June 3, 2010 By Dana White Leave a Comment

I haven’t written out my daily checklist for at least two days now. Maybe more. I have good excuses.

Monday was Memorial Day.

Tuesday and Wednesday I volunteered at my kids’ schools exactly during my normal blogging time. Writing anything at all felt like an accomplishment.

But it’s not that I haven’t done anything. I’ve been faithfully keeping the kitchen clean, sweeping daily, emptying the dishwasher, hanging up clothes in the master bedroom, doing laundry, blah blah blah and yada yada yada.

Not perfect, but I’m hanging on.

Today I:

Made bed.

Cleaned kitchen.

Swept kitchen.

Emptied dishwasher.

Mopped (it’s Thursday, after all).

Cleaned bathrooms since I didn’t do it on Tuesday. (Yes, I do feel a standing ovation is in order.)

Did the horrible-terrible-very-bad 30 Day Shred DVD.

It’s really my last day before summer begins, and I was determined to make it count. I wanted to clean the bathrooms so that when the kids take over that job on Tuesday, it won’t overwhelm them with more than a week’s worth of normal-bathroom-grossness. Tomorrow is a half-day and there’s a sing-a-long at the school, but I’ve decided to not go to it until I have worked out and dusted and vacuumed.

People are acting like it’s already June. Although I don’t believe it for one minute, I’m going to play along. Amy at The Finer Things in Life is again hosting her monthly decluttering update.

Bathroom Cleaning Supply Baskets for the Kids

June 1, 2010 By Dana White 10 Comments

How incredibly cute are these baskets? Too bad they didn’t have any pink ones left, but at least my daughter got a pink sponge and a pink topped spray bottle. Today has been crazy with end-of-school-goings-on, but I was determined to get something done, since every day this week will be equally crazy. I took […]

Empty Shelves and Tubs . . . Adjusting My Mindset for Summer

May 31, 2010 By Dana White 8 Comments

If you’ve been reading lately, you know how much I love summer with the kids. You also know that I’m a little scared. It feels a little like Chapter One of the blog is coming to an end. I began this blog on the first day of this school year, determined to hold myself accountable […]

Might As Well Be Summer

May 28, 2010 By Dana White 5 Comments

We’re wet-headed, sunburned, and sleepy. LOVE IT!!! Today was a glimpse of the coming summer. 8:30 a.m. – Kindergarten awards. 9:00 a.m. – 2nd grade picnic. Noon – spontaneous idea to go swim with friends. So much fun. No schedule. No tasks completed other than the pre-7 a.m. ones – making bed and emptying dishwasher. […]

A Clutter-Free Purse . . . What a Nice Thought

May 27, 2010 By Dana White 17 Comments

I love a clutter-free purse. Not that I have one. Sometimes, if my house looks nice for a fleeting moment, I think, “What will I blog about if I really do get my home under control someday?” But then, my mind starts filling with the many other areas where clutter reigns. Like my purse. For […]
