be a better homemaker (read all 2 entries…)
my progress 4 years ago

This weekend was very productive:

Saturday:
Cleaned DD’s room: cleaned out the closet and boxed up all of the clothes that were either too small or way to big (kept the items that either fit or will in the fall in the closet), cleaned out her dresser drawers and boxed up same items as well, dusted, vacuumed and swiffer the floor and cleaned off the dresser top and desk. Didn’t dust knick-knacks but oh-well. Vacuumed the hall floor, master BR floor and spare room floor. Cleaned off and organized part of the bookshelf in the spare room. Organzed growing yarn stash. Bagged up items Dniece left and some books for DSis to ship down to them. Grocery shopped and exchanged DD’s costume shoes for a larger size. Hit Michael’s for some beads and things to make some beaded stitch markers. Knit for my ME time and made the stitch markers-which turned out pretty cool for my first time beading! Tossed some paper by visiting the sites for the knitting articles and patterns I had printed and saved them as PDF files-free to toss the paper. Oh, and I did burn my recent photos to CD and cleaned off my camera card.

Sunday:
Took some pictures of my recent knitting and uploaded them to my knitting blog. Began re-”filing” of my digital photo files; probably about 1/3 or so done-not too shabby. Cleaned the bathroom-tub, tile, sink and toilet. Dusted the woodwork and shelves and mopped the floor. Need to give it a bit more attention, but it’ll pass muster for now. :O) Went and got two rolls of film developed and took DD for a picnic lunch at a park in Marple. Cooked dinner and took some to DH at work (he worked 3 straight shifts). Took DD for a short walk (Ddog didn’t want to come) Vacuumed all floors and mopped kitchen. Folded all but one load of laundry. Scrapped four pages (paper) and knit some. Also read a bit before bed.

Also did a good bit of my routines over the weekend. :O)

Did a good bit of my routines last night (even though I took the dog to the vet) and even shined the sink. Yay, me!

You're doing great!

I’m a tad jealous but I feel inspired. After my DD is sleeping (providing my DS cooperates), I’m going to get some things done…. Maybe I’ll hit the attic.

Are you KIDDING me?

What is your SECRET? I just stumbled on this site by typing “how to be a better homemaker, because honestly I NEVER imagined I could be this terrible at it! I’d be happy if I managed just ONE thing on your list! Tell me your secret (do you go to bed with the kids rather than stay up late eating their halloween candy? I mean really, how do you keep going? And, more importantly, how do you start?
