Domestic Witche's cleaning rules!

So I borrowed this from the Domestic Witch, really for myself more than anything else, I need to get organized.

The Domestic Witch Homekeeping guide will include the following daily tasks:
Wash and fold 1 load of laundry
Wash 1 load of dishes
10 Minute Family Pick Up
1 area of the house to clean (changes daily)
Domestic Witchery Bonus (changes weekly)

The first two, Laundry & Dishes are self explanatory, most families need to wash one load of clothes day and need to load and empty the dishwasher once a day.

The 10 Minute Family Pick Up is 10 minutes of the day when the whole family goes around the house putting away anything out of place. Working together gets a lot done in a short period of time. The time limit is fun and a big relief from being overwhelmed! This is best done in the evening before TV time or bed time. At our house, to measure the time, we crank out 2 of our current favorite songs. When the music stops, so does the pick up!

The fourth daily task is an area of your house to clean; most should only take 5 to 10 minutes. Kitchen and bathroom are cleaned weekly. All other rooms are cleaned twice a month. Mop once a month. Review the guide below for the complete list of areas cleaned during a month. 1 = the 1st day of the month. The sidebar guide will automatically change daily.

This guide is based on an "average house" of 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, basement, utility room, dining room, kitchen, family room, sitting room and office. Customize this guide to your own home layout: i.e. if you don't have a basement but have 4 bedrooms, use the basement day to clean the fourth bedroom. Post yourself a note in the comment section of your personal customizations.

Lastly, the Domestic Witchery Bonus weaves magic into the mundane with a bewitching homekeeping suggestion that changes weekly.

Just my luck...

So it's just my luck I finally get a chance to work on my quilt since my son got sick and I run out of bias tape. I knew I should have just made my own, but on a whim I thought it might be kinda neat to buy my own and I run out, ugh that is so frustrating and I was just starting to get the feeling of triupmh because I was almost finshed, now I have to wait till Zachary gets home so we can go to walmart. Yay... I hate waiting.

It's my favorite time of year, Halloween!!

       

      So I don't know what it is about Halloween but I think it is the best time of year, whether it's the pumpkin carving, or the fun costumes, or the just all together creepy feeling you get when your out late at night and you feel that cold chill touch your face.I'm so excited it's my little boy's very first Halloween and we got him just the cutest vampire costume! 

 

    I'm a stay at home mommy and I absolutely love my little boy Emmitt - not to be confused with the vampire off of Twilight, which by the way is a horrible series and is a disgrasce to all literary work everywhere.- But anyway, I have a great idea for a halloween quilt but my husband wont let me start a new one until I finish the baby blanket I'm making for Emmitt, which I'm almost done with I just have to unpick a few things that I messed up on then put the binding on it. It was so weird to use my sewing machine to do the stippling on my quilt, I've only every used one of those industrial quilting machines, but I think I did a good job except for the few big puckers I have in the back, but I'm in the process of fixing them so maybe I can get my Halloween quilt done before the season is over.
