A new beginning....

Tomorrow I am starting a new housecleaning schedule. I am struggling as a new mommy that works full time along with keeping a home under control. I am so blessed that my husband helps out so much at home, but I still need to get a little organization going! So, I have been reading a couple blogs that have established housecleaning schedules and I am going to give it a whirl! I am being honest knowing that life gets out of control most of the time, so I am going to not be too hard on myself as I work on getting this set!
Mondays- bathroom
Tuesdays-Laundry
Wednesdays-kitchen
Thursdays- Laundry/bedrooms
Friday- day off!
Saturdays- pick a couple jobs around the house to work on

I have set this schedule because John has basketball games on Tuesdays and Fridays, so hopefully this will be most realistic for our lives. And the plan isn't to spend hours, but 45 minutes at most each day hoping that everything doesn't pile up all at once.

We'll see how it goes!
