My New Daily Cleaning Schedule and Wishing I Cleaned Like June Cleaver.

I have recently been having a tough time with organization. I have a lot of projects I take on and it has me somewhat overwhelmed. Some projects include making a small office for myself to dedicate more time to blogging. Other projects include making retro valances and re-decorating our living room, which I will be blogging about soon. There's also the upstairs to contend with. That's where the children reside. It's Summer vacation and the upstairs look's like the tornado from the Wizard of Oz, hit it. We aren't in Kansas anymore, Toto.

I work best as a housewife when I have a schedule. Over the years i've come to realize if I don't write it down then everything turns into a big mess, I get discouraged, and well..you may know how I feel. Can you relate?

Here is my newest Summer "daily" cleaning schedule. I am not the perfect housewife and we all need a boost to get organized. 

A Must Do: Get dressed and put on my vintage apron. A housewife is not complete without her apron. Wink.

Daily Cleaning Schedule Monday through Saturday

Laundry - Done daily - at least two loads. It may be more or less depending on how many people you have in your home. There are 5 of us. All laundry must be dried and folded and put away. I absolutely hate it when I let the clean clothes pile up with the intention of getting to it but always get side tracked. When laundry is taken in or from the dryer it must be taken care of right then to avoid that "evil" clean pile of clothes.

Feed Animals - Daily of course. :)
