Since school has started back,
Saturday is now a day for "catching up" on the household cleaning and laundry. This past week was my first full week of school. I am going to admit that it did not go smoothly and I think it was because I wasn't prepared. I was out of practice! I had not done much cleaning last weekend and I have remembered how much better the work week goes when the house is clean and most of our clothes are clean. Cleaning schedules are important. By my own personal cleaning schedule had a pretty big cleaning job on every week-day. Last week I just couldn't muster the energy.You can find an example of a cleaning schedule http//:FlyLady.net. This website has helped me get more organized and I was really feeling out of sorts last week because in the past month or so I had my schedule working well.
I now realize that I am gonna have to adjust my schedule and put a heavier load on Saturdays.

Here is what I envision my normal Saturday routine to be:
Deep clean kitchen (including fridge)
Laundry (5-8 loads and 1 load for the sheets)
clean foyer and steps
sweep and steam mop hard woods
grocery shopping (cut up fruits and vegetables)

I also think planning out your week ahead (including meals) is a big help.

My goal is to set up my weekend to really relax and enjoy Sunday.

What is your Saturday cleaning schedule like?
