~My journey to a more organized life....laundry schedule~

*I know that this is really boring and most of you could probably care less when I do my laundry but I thought I would post what we are currently following in our household. I know it helps some people to see it all in black and white when you are overwhelmed and have no idea where to start. I am one of those people! So, if this can help you, great!

Monday:

~towels 
~white clothes
~sheets


Tuesday:

~My husband's clothes
~My clothes

Wednesday:

~towels


Thursday:

~kids' laundry

Friday:

~towels
~my laundry
~husband's laundry

Saturday:

~work clothes (My husband's and certain items he needs for work such as work coat, gloves,safety vest, etc.)

~kids' laundry

~quilts or bedding

~Ironing for church 

Sunday:

~towels

~anything that needs done

*I am really hoping this keeps me from doing the normal 4 or 5 loads a day! I would really like to get down to around a reasonable 2 loads a day. We are also having the children help fold and put away their laundry as it comes out of the dryer. It seems to be working well, so far and I am praying it continues!

Blogging Break

I will not be posting a menu plan today. I am going on a blogging break this week. I don't know for how long, we will see! I have a lot of projects to get accomplished before baby boy arrives and I really need to focus on those right now and getting our life back on a really workable schedule that will work after Drew gets here. :o)

Also, with everyone being so sick last week, I didn't get to clean much, so I have A LOT of catching up to do there, as well. (Is that a run-on sentence?lol)

I have just been feeling really convicted about being on the computer so much with so much to do right now and a lot of the word of God I feel that I need to soak in. I promise to be back soon with some insights and a new outlook!

Everyone have a very happy, blessed & productive week!

Love & Prayers,
Julie

Our schedule...

Someone asked me for this a while back and it has definitely changed since then but maybe someone will find it helpful:

6:30 am - Get up with Claire, Lily is still asleep. Feed Claire, talk to her about things. Usually "Bopaw" and "MeMe" and "Kyee, Laina"

7:00 am - Get Lily up, change her, feed her, put her on the floor to play.
Brush Claire's teeth, get her dressed. Lily dressed , too.
Do a load or two of laundry while it's still somewhat cool, clean the bathroom.

9:00 am-Lily's 1st nap, feed her and put her down.
Pick up toys, make beds, run vacuum, fold laundry. Pay bills and assorted things like that. Make sweet tea for supper, put food in crockpot, chop vegetables or whatever prep needs done for that night. Claire likes to help me cook, this gives us some bonding time. Read with Claire, play in her room. From 10:00 -10:30 is Claire's room time.

11:00am- Lily gets up, feed Lily. Play with the girls. Read from the bible or watch a video.

12:00pm-lunch. cleanup.

12:30 - Read books to Claire and Lily.

1:00 pm- Claire goes down for nap, change Lily, feed Lily, She goes down for nap. My computer, reading, whatever time!!!!!!!!!!!

3:00 pm-Claire and Lily wake up, feed Lily, change Lily, put her in bouncy seat or swing for playtime, give Claire a snack.

3:30-4:00- watch video,

4:00-5:00- play or color or work with blocks or paint.

5:00- Lily's 3rd nap. The shortest one.

5:30- Lily wakes up, feed and change Lily. Claire is playing. Maybe take girls outside if it has cooled down.

6:00- Daddy gets home anywhere from 6-8. Usually, especially now, around 6 pm. Start supper, eat, clean up. Daddy and the girls play.

7:00- Girls take baths, I clean up toys and things out of place.

7:30- Say prayers, Feed Lily, put her to sleep, Read with Claire. Talk to Claire. It's bedtime.

8:00- Clean up what needs done, talk to Charlie. Take showers

9:00 - Feed Lily, go to sleep.

This is pretty much the way it goes but it gets moved back and forth some. It' life, we just adjust but we try to stay as close as possible to this.

There it is, hope it helps you!

Love and Prayers,
Julie
