Daily Reminder for Tuesday, Feb 7, 2012
This week's area is the Den/Family Room, Other Room (office, craft room, extra bedroom, etc.) & Powder Room.
If you have not decluttered this area, instead of completing today's task, spend 15 minutes decluttering the current area only.
If you have already decluttered, your goal today is to dust the knick knacks (and this is a good time to weed through and get rid of the ones you don't absolutely love!) in the current area for 15 minutes only. You will probably not finish all of this task, just do as much as you can in that time then quit.Remember, you are only working in the Den/Family Room, Other Room (office, craft room, extra bedroom, etc.) & Powder Room. Limit your time to 15 minutes for this task and stick to it - set a timer if you have to! When you are done, take a moment to look around and appreciate your efforts.
If you do not have a daily routine in place, this is a good time to set one up.
Be well!
Groceries getting unaffordable?
Using the Busy Mom Menu saves money because you shop already knowing what you will cook for the week. The menus plan leftovers and take advantage of bulk cooking which add even more savings. Based on the Secrets of a Busy Cook, these menus also feature:
- Time-saving tips
- Money-savers like planned leftovers
- Our exclusive healthy Meal Makeovers
- Nutrition data and points
- Emailed PDF files with recipes and grocery list
- Monthly bonuses
Every week the daily tasks will focus on one area of the house. After each 5 weeks the rotation starts over. The areas are:
- Foyer, Living Room & Dining Room
- Kitchen (including pantry) & Porches
- Master Bedroom (including closet & bathroom) & Kids' Rooms
- Den/Family Room, Other Room (office, craft room, extra bedroom, etc.) & Powder Room
- Laundry Room, 2nd Full Bathroom, Garage, & Miscellaneous
These may not match your home exactly, but they are areas common to most homes and you can adapt them as needed.
