Okay.
So my one. My only. New Year's Resolution is to make my house not feel like this anymore
Because it does.
I feel under the pile. I can never get our house as clean as I want it, and by the time I've cleaned one area, (and taken care of baby, and run errands, and cleaned diapers and made baby food and cooked ) it's time to go to bed and my house still feels like
I'm not even watching Oprah. Bon bons? Nope I don't have any. And I still feel like my house isn't where I want it.
So. I think it's time for a review. My own post, and I've already forgotten it.
I think those tips will help a ton.
But I still need to do more. Here is what I'm trying in 2011.
:
1) Putting Everything Back. As in, in it's place. I call it 'our new tradition'. Since the new year, I've been telling Justin to put everything back in their places, such as cereal, shoes, if we use a glass, put it in the sink, put dishes in the dishwasher....it's revolutionary really. I keep telling him it's our new tradition because maybe that way he will think it is fun.
2) A new weekly clean schedule. Here's one from flylady.net
Monday: Weekly Home Blessing (8:00am-9:00am)
(Um of course the time doesn't apply to me--because with a baby your day starts at 6am! ((and is way busier))
