Homemaker Makeover

Nothing feels better than a clean house {okay I can think of about 30 things off the top of my head that are better, but you get the point}.  Although there are only four of us one of which doesn't move yet and another isn't home all day, we still manage to make quiet a mess somehow.  I need a system to keep order around here so I don't feel overwhelmed and go crazy.

Operation restore order starts now with:
1.Weekly chore schedule
2.Deep-Clean schedule

Weekly chores are as follows:
Monday: Sweep and mop
Tuesday: Vacuum
Wednesday: Laundry
Thursday: Sweep and mop
Friday: Bathrooms
Dishes and straightening up are daily

Deep cleaning will be done by going through each of these three lists (one, two, three) and talking one task a day until they are done.

Another HUGE area of homemaking that I wish to improve is meal planning.  I don't enjoy cooking because I am never prepared.  I also end up wasting a lot of money because I don't always have a list, let alone a game plan for when I go grocery shopping.

I will meal plan for the week at a time on Sundays. I am only doing a week at a time because we eat a lot of produce and it goes bad after about a week. Grocery trips will be Monday morning and food prep for the week will be Monday afternoons.

I am really excited to know that we will save money this way and it will be easier to eat healthy when there is a game plan.
