30~Days of Cleaning
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I had a pretty good weekend. Things really didn’t work out for my photoshoot for the boutique. The original model that I wanted could not make it due to family reasons. So then I asked my sister in law who comes down every weekend to see my in-laws and she initially agreed but could not due to her husband’s coaching schedule. No fun but while I was waiting I got an email from Fed-Ex saying that my order was arriving today and it turns out that it was my mannequin. Perfecting timing!
So I moved right along using my mannequin for the boutique photos and I think they turned out great! I keep telling myself, you are just starting out. “Don’t despise the days of small beginnings”. Thank you Lord. I told my daughter that I need to name my mannequin. She suggested the name “Patricia”. I told her that I love it! Patricia it is. It turns out that was my grandmother’s name. Interesting…. Okay let’s get into today’s post.
Have any of you seen the daily posts on the Better Homes & Garden Instagram account about 30- days of cleaning? I have been following them and saw the daily posts about a week ago. Each time I saw one it made me want to go and check whatever area it was assigning for the day.

The article suggests incorporating small daily tasks into your routine. I started doing this last year. I just got tired of cleaning my house on the weekends. So I decided to add one household chore to my day each day and my house has stayed cleaned!

The article breaks down the areas of your home giving you daily tasks and suggestions. I really like the list and they offer it in pdf form.

I think this week they are about to start bathrooms. I also saw on the list that during this week they included cleaning the washing machine. I also make sure that I clean my laundry room at least twice a month. I always go in and wipe down the machines, dust shelves, and mop the floor. It helps keep things in order.
I hope you found this list helpful and I hope that it inspires you to include one chore a day in your routine. Enjoy your Monday!
You should have stayed the model instead of Madame Patricia hehehehe🤭 Is the boutique ready for orders yet? I wasn’t sure if it was just beta testing or not. I didn’t place my order.
This was an encouraging post. I’ll have to look up how they categorized everything so I can implement that too. My whole weekend can be cleaning and I don’t like that. That makes it so doable a area a day. That makes it so less overwhelming.
Lol! Madame Patricia! I love it Tracey! The boutique is almost ready. I am trying to run a few tests first. I am hoping to get those tests to finish this week. I want to be able to launch the week of the 15th! So fingers crossed!
I am so glad that you liked the post. I love anything about cleaning and organizing. I am with you. I could be cleaning all weekend and I use to do that but I have NO desire to do that anymore. It makes for a horrible weekend. I want to enjoy it. So one chore a day has been working for me!
