Wow, that looks very organized. I hope it works for you.

We outsource our laundry, but I´m horrible at actually folding the clean stuff and putting it away! As for mopping . . . we do it three or four times a day. Not fun, but necessary thanks to the rainy season and two small children who think everything ought to be on the floor.

I’ve always wanted to set up a schedule. But to find the time to put it down on paper is another story!!

I mop my kitchen about twice a week (on a good week.) The rest of the house (all ceramic) gets vacuumed often and I spot mop as necessary. When I’m in a cleaning mood and kids permitting I mop the whole house.

One thing I let go is the laundry. I gave up on sorting colors, towels, etc. Everyday I wash everything from the previous day. It’s usually one load, and I just dump it in and I make sure to fold it all the same day. It’s the ONLY way I can keep up. Of course if I have something like a brand new red shirt I wash it with like colors so as not to have pink everything!

Glad you’re all moved in! You know, out of the blue, Ella’s been asking for a guinea pig. Wait, let me be clear . . .no, we are NOT getting a guinea pig. At least not until she’s responsible enough to put on her own shoes without starting WWIII.

I tried to fly with the flylady, but I just crash and burned. You look very organized. I just can’t do that. Of course you don’t want to open any of my closets or cupboards, that is unless you want something to fall out and hit you on the head.
I wish you the best of luck in staying organize. If it works maybe you can start your own site and teach the rest of us how to do it too.

I am very impressed with your schedule and might have to make one for myself. I had one a couple of years ago and let it go when we moved and got busy. I mop once a week and vacuum twice a week. I do laundry daily (but I am working on reducing it to two days a week now that I have a new BIG washer/dryer). Lacy's last blog post..oh my cupcake
