Today I:
Made Bed.
Loaded dishwasher.
Last night I:
Put out clothes.
Wiped down bathrooms.
Moved the one-load-pile of clean clothes off my bed and onto the floor instead of folding it and putting it away.
Also today I:
Spent the day at the surgery center with my 7yo having tubes put in and his adenoids removed.
That’s it.
I started this blog a few months ago, in August. But last fall (over a year ago now), I got really serious. I was incredibly frustrated, consistently at the verge of tears, and was truly considering buying a shovel and renting a u-haul. I couldn’t handle the clutter anymore. I had so much stuff that […]
Read MoreI really despise my new rule about doing the daily checklist post before the more “fun for me” one. But while I despise it, it totally works. I’m so much more motivated to do my tasks when I know it means that I get to blog. Today I: Made bed. Emptied dishwasher. Cleaned kitchen. Swept […]
Read MoreOn Saturday, hubby decided he wanted his walk-in closet to also be walk-innable. I’m pretty sure he was inspired by my own much-better closet and our much nicer master bedroom. When I said I just might take a picture for the blog, he put a few things back, saying he wanted full credit. He’s so […]

Cleaned out and organized pantry. (I honestly don’t think I would have done this if it hadn’t been on the list. Last night I: Put out clothes. Made lunch. […]
Read MoreSo . . . if you make a list, you’re supposed to check it? Huh. I started writing this post and realized I hadn’t checked my list since first thing this morning. I went and checked it. I’m probably not going to complete it, but I definitely accomplished more than I otherwise would have today […]
Read MoreToday I: Made bed. Hung up or put in laundry the clothes in the master. (I also employed a little trick of my mom’s that finally makes sense to me. Pajamas that can be worn again get put under the pillow. Doesn’t make sense when the bed isn’t made or when there’s tons of other […]
Read MoreI didn’t do a menu plan last week, and I definitely had to face the consequences. We grabbed dinner one night and that’s never good for the budget. This week I’m planning ultra-easy meals to keep that from happening. Monday – Baked chicken breasts, buttered noodles and spinach Tuesday – Turkey smoked sausage pan fried […]
Read MoreI haven’t done very well this week. I’ve had lots of excuses for not doing the complete list of daily tasks every single day. I think that a lot of that has to do with the house being ultra clean on Tuesday for the party, and then too much for me to handle cleaning up […]
