It's Monday and I'm joining Sandra over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. You know, many years ago, when I attempted to do the cleaning routine from a book author, I revised my own routine. I can't remember the book, but I signed up for the daily emails and it was very overwhelming. I got tons and tons of emails on what to clean and organize. I deleted the program she offered and simply made up my own routine. Monday became my "attack it with gusto" day so my week would start out fresh and clean. So far I've managed most of the my list on Monday. Also, here is a cleaning tip: if I'm taking off for a weekend getaway (which doesn't happen often enough), I clean the bathroom the day before we leave, and finish up laundry. I I also make sure the kitchen is cleaned up, dishes washed sink empty etc. When I return, I don't feel like I have jumped back into reality too fast, or add more stress from a chaotic home. On...
