I have to confess that my papers have lots of pencil marks of adding stuff, moving stuff, and reminders to make sure the garbage cans are out the night before garbage day as the morning dash is not my thing, and pick up starts as early as 7:30 AM !
So, with the close of this series, what did I miss? How do you do it different? What is your favorite housekeeping guide or help?
And what I really want to know is: How many of you have a cleaning schedule and (mostly) keep to it?
So without further ad0:

I'm working on a cleaning schedule. I'm trying to add just one thing at a time, so it's not as comprehensive as yours. I think my new year's resolutions may involve a cleaning schedule . . .
I have a loose schedule, much more flexible than when I only had one child. Three's company, so to speak, when it comes to cleaning. I always have a plan, but honestly, with three little one underfoot and wanting to "help," the days of having a lengthy list of chores to work at and being able to accomplish them is looong gone. Someday, I'll be able to be a bit more thorough, but for now, I'm doing the best God enables me to do and trusting the cluttered closets and dust bunnies to Him! I have appreciated reading through your efforts, though. I think women who are struggling to find a way can read your posts and find nuggets here and there to use in their own home. Great use of your gifts!
Merry Christmas!
