HELP!!!!

-
Sorry for the severity of the title, but I am hoping for some input.

I am in need of ideas/help with house cleaning. I am NOT a good housekeeper. I love organizing and picking up- every single toy has a certain basket or shelf that it goes in. But, actual cleaning... not so much. I get overwhelmed at how much there is to do, and don't know where to begin, and it just drives me crazy.

I don't like housecleaning, but it has come to a point where I want to get better at it. I want to have a clean house for my family, and it is my job to see to that.

I am respectfully asking for your tips/advice/opinions in this area. I would love to know if you have a specific cleaning schedule that you follow, or you just do whatever room or area you want to? Do you do a little each day, or do you have a specific day set aside for cleaning?

UGH! Like I said, HELP!!!

Hi Kristen! Thanks so much for my Valentine's goodies!! The M&M Oatmeal bars were yummy!!

Someone gave me the website flylady.com when I asked about housecleaning things. It is a great website. I have a hard time following it completely, but it has some good ideas. I hope it is helpful!

Hey!! So...I am not as good as I should be about housecleaning. I have found that it is much easier (for me) to tackle a different chore each day. For example, clean sheets and towels Thursday. If I am good about it, doing the same thing on a designated day comes naturally and easily. It doesn't work for me to try and cram everything into one day...

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend

Happy Spring Break to Walker and Lucy!!

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...
