Lets Clean Up Our Act
It occurred to me as I was browsing for images to decorate our project with, that in all the images of beautiful homes, lifestyles of the rich and famous, and luxurious still life paintings… there is this pervading feeling of clarity and cleanliness. The glass in the paintings sparkle in their transparency, the homes are spectacularly clean and clutter free, and so I was thinking that maybe it would be worthwhile to do some cleaning.
And then, when researching for ideas for my front door, I stumbled onto this. I think it’s perfect for this project. What do you think?
The All Year Cleaning List:
The “All Year Cleaning List” has arrived at the Front Door. Keeping your home clean all year can be daunting and sometimes a little confusing. Some tasks need to be done everyday, while others can be done once a season. We’ve created an easy guide to follow daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonally. We’ve found keeping this guide up on the refrigerator is a nice reminder for the day’s tasks. If you want to kick it up a notch, use a clear sleeve to hold this guide and mark off what you do each day with a dry erase marker.

I love how easy this sounds… I always feel so overwhelmed by housecleaning because I’m constantly thinking I should be doing it ALL … of course… now… ALL of this needs to be done just to catch up… but I wonder what would happen if I just began to do it this way… maybe it wouldn’t be too bad at all… maybe it might even be quick and easy!
