My Daily/Weekly Home Routines

First, let me assure you all that I DO NOT complete these lists 100% every day/week.  I'm only human after all, and admittedly not the greatest housekeeper.  Plus, I'm a mom of FOUR! Oh, AND I'm a student working on my bachelors degree.  And, I have multiple hobbies that consume much of my thoughts and time.  So.. you know... I've got stuff going on, and housekeeping doesn't always take precedence.  Therefore, these routines are just a tool I use to keep myself on task.

I've typed these lists into Excel and I print them out so that I can check off the tasks as I complete them. I also have these routines programmed into my Home Routines iPhone App.  I love this app! It's very handy to have all of this in my pocket as I go around the house completing tasks.  If you love apps, and you need help staying on task, you must check this one out.

Anywho...... without further ado I give you my routines!
