Housework Club?

in December 2010 Moms

Ok, so similar to our book club and working mom wednesday, etc, I've been inspired by the houseworking post below to make a little club where we do one housekeeping thing a day then report on it.  So here is the schedule, because I love alliteration:

Mopping Mondays: clean a floor in your house (could also be vacuuming if you have rugs)

Toss it Tuesday: reorganize a cluttered part of your home, with emphasis on throwing away or giving to charity!

Wiping Wednesday: Wipe down a bathroom in your house (no deep cleaning, unless you really want to)

Ten-thing Thursday:  Put away ten things in each room (it actually makes a difference, I do it all the time)

F-it Friday: Do the one thing that you were putting off (or saying f-it to) all week. Put the folded things in drawers.  Take that stupid thing into the basement once and for all.  Put new toilet paper in the bathrooms.

 

I'll post a morning reminder then see how we did at night :)  Although, I can't do next week because I will be away on vacay with no internet.

Anyway, if you are up for it, today is wiping wednesday, so go do a quick wiping of any bathroom in your house!

    I'll join if we can include a "Suck-it Sunday" 

    As in I have to clean like crazy because my MIL is coming over the next day to baby sit and she can "suck it" if she doesn't think my house is up to par with hers.

    Hahaha...awesome!

    Yay!! I LOVE this idea! Count me in! I need reminders, otherwise it truly just does not occur to me clean. DH is always like, "you forgot again?!" I swear I'm not doing it on purpose! Cleaning just isn't on my radar most days! Lol
    Your husband is BRAVE!!  Mine would never say anything past inquiring if we had a good day?  I think that's his way of asking if it was a tough day & that's why I didn't get jack shizzle done that day,  haha

    This is a great idea! I can tackle wiping down a bathroom today. It's all about baby steps, right? Wink

    I'm in, but only if someone makes us a sweeeet badge! Wink

    I was going to make myself a calendar of chores anyways! 

    I'm a little ahead of myself today, b/c I'm home and doing a lot! 

    Wiped a bathroom last night, washing the bath mats, cleaned the kitchen counters, cleaned the cat's litter box and his dishes, AND sprayed weed killer.

    And I made dinner already, plus I doubled the recipe to take one to my pal who has a 10 day old baby! 

    Yeah I know, I'm a superstar!! I wish I was a SAHM- I think I would rock!!

    This is a great idea, I totally want to join in. Stuff piles up so quickly that I say f-it almost every day.

    Love it!  I'm in.  I'll have to work these things into my evenings after G is in bed, though.

    Can we have some sort of mom with a baby in one hand and a broom in the other as our badge?
