Happy Home Monday

I've been looking forward to this post for almost a week...

Lately, I've had several people ask how I am able to keep our house looking nice most of the time. I have one word for you....LISTS!!! I have a list for every day of the week and I don't go to bed until the list is complete. I love it. I don't stress about things that I have to do because I know that in the next couple of days they'll be done.

I'm a busy girl... my son plays hockey, daughters cheer, we go to church twice a week, husband is in school, sister has twins, and I stay home with my 2 baby girls. I have to stick with my chore chart in order to keep from feeling overwhelmed. I am easily overwhelmed by laundry and sweeping/mopping, so I keep it up in order to avoid the ugly o word. There are times that I do get overwhelmed, births of babies, when we come back from vacation, Christmas, and when I or 2 of more of our kids get sick. For the most part, my house is clean and happy. I know that the only way any of our days are happy is for my house to be clean.... we are all stressed when it's not.

SO..... Here's my list. I haven't shared it before,because I didn't really think that i had anything to offer. I have so many areas of my life that need to be improved on..... this is just one area that I've gotten decent at:) I also come from a long line of compulsive cleaners. I mean seriously compulsive! I'm nothing compared to my mother and grandmother!!!
