There are several blogs I like to follow that lead me to other Blogs I love. My interests change and flow based on what point of life I am in. Right now, juggling more than 1 child, having a small baby, cleaning, cooking, and being frugal rank up at the top lol. I like blogs about saving money, paying off debt, deals, etc. I also like blogs and reading material that helps me plan for my week, and in this case weekend, so that I can enjoy myself more. One of the benefits of having a newborn is that no one expects you to run out to events, and you are easily forgiven for missing things and being forgetful. I take full advantage of being able to relax more, not feel pressured to clean, etc because after all I have a newborn, and those days are gone way to fast. Add to that, my returning to work this week and I have a very full plate. I have to now pack me and the 2 kids for the next day before bed, so relaxing on the weekend will be very nice!
I may just use this as a checklist. Feel free to click the link to the blog
here. But here is the meat of it. Enjoy! And share some comments when you can.
When I have time on Fridays, I like to take about thirty minutes getting my home put back together after a full week, so that we’ll enjoy spending time here on the weekend. Or if we’re going out of town, it makes it a nice place to come home to.
We’re not really cleaning this time, just sprucing it up visually.
• Make the bed.
• Throw dirty clothes in the laundry basket.
• Wipe spots off the bathroom mirror and faucets.
• Run the dishwasher so there will be a place for dirty dishes.
• Take out the trash.
• Pick up a few things.
• If you have guests staying with you, you need clean sheets and towels.
• Snacks – never underestimate the importance of snacks.
