So the good news with that is that I've been getting a lot done and not spending as much time on the computer, which happens to be one of my biggest time sucks. The bad news is that I have not been able to document any of this progress!
Since I have the day off, I'm going to try to get quite a bit done. It's already 1pm here and we haven't done much, but I still have plenty of time to work.
- I've dissasembled the tree room and turned it back into the playroom. However, the toys are everywhere and it is a complete disaster area! My number one goal today is to get it organized and clean
- Tidy up the kitchen. I was good with keeping up with the dishes over the weekend, but junk has piled up on the counters that needs to be put away, especially before I start cooking dinner.
- Clean the foyer. I posted a picture a few days ago and it hasn't gotten any better!
- Spend 20 minutes cleaning off the dressers (this week's weekly project).
- Straighten up the living room, finish unpacking DVDs and books (you'd think we just moved in!)
- Put wall hangings up
I think that's it for now. With playing with the kids and preparing and cleaning up from dinner in there, I think I have my work cut out for me!

Yesterday was our tree take-down day - oh, the mess that is left behind!! It's amazing how many toys and gifts a tree can hide!
ReplyDeleteOur kitchen counters and table were always horribly messy as they were the resting spot of everything that came into the house. A few weeks ago we made a new 'rule' that the table and counters are clear before we go to bed. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing I feel every morning when I walk into a clean and tidy kitchen. I'm a not-completely-reformed slob so your blog really appeals to me - I feel like everyone else is so good at making houses look wonderful and it's nice to know that there is someone else out there that isn't a natural :)

Oh Lordy no... cleaning and being neat is so beyond natural for me!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of having the counters cleaned before bed every night. I tried to institute something similar with my "no dish left behind" mandate, but while the dishes aren't being left behind, everything else is! I think I'll try your idea for the counters :)
