Cleaning List

Here is what I put on the cleaning list I shared earlier this week. I just typed it up in Microsoft works and tried to make it look as cute as I could. Then I cut it out and used cute scrapbooking paper behind it. For everything other than daily I will use the dry erase marker to write which day or what date I did it so I will know when it needs to be done again :o) 


This is on the daily group: Dishes/dishwasher, wipe down kitchen counters, vacuum, bathroom counters, do laundry and put it away, full house pick up, make beds, tidy up seating area, water garden, sweep kitchen and dining room, pick up toys, clear off dining table.

But now that I am going to have three kiddos soon and be homeschooling plus other random things I have decided that I really need to get a schedule going that will help me stay on top of the house work. So I was inspired by pinterest of course to make a to do list. I put it in a frame so I can use a dry erase marker to check it all off as I do it. This will help me not have paper to do lists all over the place. But of course because I was inspired by pinterest I couldn't just make a list, I had to try to make the list look cute! So I typed up my list which has things to do daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly and then tried to make it cute. So here it is:
