Housework Schedule

I have been working on this for awhile. If I can get through the daily stuff faster I will have more time to organize (in theory)

Housework Schedule

“She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness” ~ Proverbs 31:27.

Learn now how to love doing those everyday tasks that go along with maintaining a home of my own someday: cooking, baking, doing dishes, cleaning the home, being organized, and yes, even finding joy in cleaning the toilet—we are to do all things as unto the Lord without murmuring or complaining, right? If we learn to love even the most ordinary things now, how much more enjoyment will we take in the simplest joys in life

Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it.

Work Smarter….Not Harder

· Fold and Put away laundry ASAP after dryer is done

· Do dishes as soon as they are used

No matter how many house chores you complete, there are always more to be done.

I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.... I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.
