{ Home } is the place we live. I want it to be a safe, comfortable, cozy place for my family. That’s not going to happen if I don’t stay on top of somethings. Things like laundry, dishes, dusting. Things I don’t enjoy. Enter my first challenge to myself.
Challenge:
- Keep a neat home (not obsessively tidy, but clean enough I don’t panic when the doorbell rings).
Goals:
- A daily load of laundry
- A clean kitchen every night
- 3ish small tasks each day
Plan:
-
Don’t recreate the wheel. Use a system that I’ve used before and that I know works for me. For me that’s the Confident Mom planner. I love this plan, because I can do the few tasks listed on each day.
-
Stick to the system. The biggest reason I don’t usually stick to this system–I forget to print out the next week’s plan. I just printed the first 12 weeks of the year. No excuses now!!!

Delegate! The kids can help! Take for example today’s tasks: change sheets in the kids’ rooms. They can do that! Vacuum the kids’ rooms. They can do that too! Sweet!
