Making your own cleaning schedule Introduction

As many of you may have read my cleaning schedule then you know it's pretty comprehensive. Some find it to detailed while others may find it's not enough. I have told others that going by someone else's cleaning list is like wearing another person's shoes,they may fit but not like if they were yours. They may be a bit to wide or the heel is worn a bit to much. Once you get a pair of your own shoes on then you feel so much more comfortable. That is the same principle with making your own cleaning schedule and I'm going to break it all down for you this week. Show you what to do step by step and once we are all finished you will have your own personalized cleaning schedule. One that fits only you with your specific needs in mind.


So stay tuned tomorrow when I go over part one of making your own cleaning schedule!!!

Productive Day

I have been a busy bee today. After taking Carissa to school I came home and started working. I got all my deep cleaning done within a couple of hours and all but a little laundry have finished all my daily cleaning as well. Yes,I love days like this!!!!!

Free Starbucks coffee

Stop into your local starbucks Friday thru Monday and participate in the taste the difference challenge and get yourself a free coffee!!!!!!

Win up tp 5200 in free groceries!

Enter and you could win a year of free groceries! You can enter daily to increase your chances.

If you had a 1,000 dollars

I know that's not a lot of money but lets just pretend for a minute that you all of a sudden have an extra 1,000 dollars. Maybe you found it on the street or maybe you received it as a gift or an advance.

Now that you have the 1,000 what are you going to do with it. That's the question!

A. save it
B.pay off bills
C.spend it
D give it away


We all know we should pick A or a portion of A and B and D but how many of us really would save it or give a portion of it away say like 10%.

My first thought would be to tithe and then pay off bills. One of my biggest flaws is that I don't think to save like I should.

Soon I am going to share with you a story well it's the story of our life and in it you will see my struggle with our finances. But until then what would you do with the money?

Is it Friday

I am so ready for this week to be over. We have been so busy this week that we have been on the go and hardly at home. Me,being a homebody hates those types of weeks. Besides from our busyness of the week my days didn't of course stop when we finally arrived home for the evening. I still had to cook and clean up and tend to laundry. Help with home and direct the children. My dear husband was equally busy doing a remodeling project the boys room.

Tomorrow we head back to Parkersburg to help John's parent finish moving. That will be an all day event but a good one.Hard work but good company. I won't be able to help do much but maybe unpack some dishes or odds and ends if my dear mil will allow me to. She's so protective. : )

We are still not sure what we are going to do for Monday. I normally have a get together here at our home and I cook for everyone. But this year we have some family issues going on with our immediate family and I am not sure what would be appropriate for me to do. I have never been in this type of situation before so I'm praying about it and let God do the leading.
