I’d rather spend a little more, be outside of the box, and get things that will be functional or consumable but not junk. I’ve made<a href="https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TSBH8IANX0KT?ref_=wl_share" target="_blank"> this list</a> for myself and maybe you too, we have a teen girl, and I know she’s getting a few of these things off <a href="https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TSBH8IANX0KT?ref_=wl_share" target="_blank">the list</a> in her basket. If I can swing it, the bog bag will be her basket this year. We live in a hot climate and the pool is almost daily. I love <a href="https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TSBH8IANX0KT?ref_=wl_share" target="_blank">these bags</a> for their add ons, because they allow air flow and won’t get moldy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Check out my list <a href="https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TSBH8IANX0KT?ref_=wl_share" target="_blank">here</a>.

Haven’t really looked back, made some changes, skipped some weeks/months, doubled up on some areas too. Overall though, I feel like our house is generally pretty organized, besides the Nintendo Switch, which I constantly lose because I remove it as an option for a while and I forget where I put it 😆. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since it’s been a good fit for the most part, we are doing it again this year. If I remember to snap before pictures, I’ll share them. We are still getting settled so I wouldn’t say everything is in its place yet, but getting there. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyntfIAv2rTkgJxd6RXe87ph_YM1_4xjpvTX7g2uKfnGNJ-Kq6h8JvsMVDB2DTR04KSwlzsdvPty1LzrmurIeXJ87JjHUWhu78L0Ekf8CdOB5sbbpE_sbP-KcW8LjDen1KGcrZdpzZiGcD5pHvvlp2FgDlOC1sA6y4gbJAfbF-hCaWeF9CeEkoFzcTuQg/s2800/IMG_9935.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2800" data-original-width="1575" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyntfIAv2rTkgJxd6RXe87ph_YM1_4xjpvTX7g2uKfnGNJ-Kq6h8JvsMVDB2DTR04KSwlzsdvPty1LzrmurIeXJ87JjHUWhu78L0Ekf8CdOB5sbbpE_sbP-KcW8LjDen1KGcrZdpzZiGcD5pHvvlp2FgDlOC1sA6y4gbJAfbF-hCaWeF9CeEkoFzcTuQg/s320/IMG_9935.jpeg" width="180" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here’s my list for this year, super small items per week.

Absolutely no reason
for it, just seemed to happen. Probably started with days off, or preschool days
or something. After Monday, which feels like a long list, it’s nice to have
something easy. There are also some other things I do on Tuesday that I didn’t
include on this list. Like watering plants and cleaning the 1/2 bathroom.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ub1a6WOCDRSo74Abr1AZ0GPc9gnhhGcwqsd2l3HhDVHqdj-UyPd6XvcJ8FvKLtY0apvzhe9nRnEQXNdbQtQgNHLAP-ZYUBS-th57Vmcw5qSlHBvka9_s3k3fTrHyQpouwQCAWdWOO1g7UUXtFgWJAp02MvceWPkj_P2Y29qzK8yrBILQn78bQrD8/s2000/45E9E65B-4569-443F-BEEE-08FC9C740902.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1545" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ub1a6WOCDRSo74Abr1AZ0GPc9gnhhGcwqsd2l3HhDVHqdj-UyPd6XvcJ8FvKLtY0apvzhe9nRnEQXNdbQtQgNHLAP-ZYUBS-th57Vmcw5qSlHBvka9_s3k3fTrHyQpouwQCAWdWOO1g7UUXtFgWJAp02MvceWPkj_P2Y29qzK8yrBILQn78bQrD8/s320/45E9E65B-4569-443F-BEEE-08FC9C740902.png" width="247" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The
Family Room doesn’t ever take too long during weekly cleanings, so I don’t mind
the extra quick things too. Baseboards, window tracks etc. aren’t weekly, just
as needed. I find if I stay up on them It’s never so bad that it takes a long
time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Did I mention we have a white couch, 4 kids and a dog who is ridiculously close to the ground?

I threw together some pics together not knowing if some of these will even grow here. Overall going for black, white and wood tones just like our last house. Finding heat tolerant stuff might be a little harder though

It’s been YEARS since I’ve reevaluated my cleaning routine. Not only has it been
years but it’s also been 5 different homes since then 😳. It’s time to update
that, I don’t want to miss things and I also feel like I can get through it much
faster when I have a list.

~Clean out the fridge and freezer. We always have stuff to go.
~Dishes. I get them all loaded as well as the microwave plate and any stove top grates or oven grates that can use a quick wash. We often just do a quick wash or a no heat dry to speed it up.
~Wipe down upper cabinets, hood and backsplash Nothing outrageous just spot cleaning.
~Wipe out fridge and freezer and outside of fridge
~Clean microwave. Doing it weekly means it never takes much effort. If we go a while and it needs help, a little bowl of water with some lemon or dish soap, run for a couple minutes really helps loosen stuff up.
~Stove front and dishwasher fronts
~Any windows or glass cabinets fronts
~Stove top. Ours always needs attention.
~Clean counters. I take everything off and get all the way to the corners. We don’t keep much on the counters though.
~Then I clean kitchen table and chairs… kids are messy
~Scrub sink
~Shake out rugs
~Vacuum
~Steam mop or spot mop depending on week
~By then the dishwasher is probably about done. Unload that, then do a weekly dishwasher clean and a disposal clean.
~Once the kitchen is clean I stock items we use frequently. Salt, pepper, butter etc. and then make a grocery list and meal plan for the following week. I grocery shop on Fridays usually so I give myself all week to plan and Laing for the following week.

Those all make sense to me but I wanted to explain a little bit. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Laundry</b>-it’s only if someone NEEDS something for Monday, otherwise we don’t do laundry on weekends. Uniforms, work and teams both get a lot of use on weekends and sometimes they need it Monday too. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Meal Prep</b>-If there is produce to prep, if I can make rice ahead of time, pack some lunches. Really look at the meals for the week and thaw anything that needs thawed. That helps so much in our grocery budget. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Clean Out Cars- </b>Pretty self explanatory but I know after a week of games and weekend fun, it’s gross and needs some work. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Clean Out Bags- </b> backpacks, lunchboxes, purses, game bags, beach bags. They all have snack wrappers and trash in them, and hopefully no banana peels 😜</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Tidy Devices- </b>This doesn’t take me long, I don’t even do it all at once, just throughout the day. I delete emails I don’t need, screen shots, photos, items I saved to read later, that TikTok recipe that was a flop. Any digital clutter from the week that I can be done with. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Self Care- </b>I put off managing eye brows, cutting kids nails, deep conditioning, etc. all week because it is TOO much during the week, and I know Sunday is usually slower and I can get it done. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Fill Cars -</b> Gas, I hate getting gas. Usually I can’t make it Sunday to Sunday but if I can, I love that I don’t have to get it. Waiting until Monday is the worst choice I have ever made for myself. It’s always busy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Fill Supplements- </b>I don’t know about you, but if I have to open 1 thing instead of 5-6 I am way more likely to get them in. It also helps me track stock and remember if I actually took them 😆</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So really it’s not CHORES it’s just little things that help my week go smooth(er) not necessarily smooth. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFS-a_VQBIFm0eWAcoscv_et_ev_7t3UcJ9qambR272tZk8tZncUL7OS7rn_blsp5rKqO-kZnmlEPcqS7LDcePwSG5zy_qG7v_kWiWOQ3naibwurVoBXwEZb5B0-Sc-m3K1mDBgzckOFZWEc05VH2i7k5f5EkN3bwio6ciGswXMJ2Y2zVlDHbJOjrp/s2800/BB5BC0F3-4F8D-492A-A9CA-E076C7BF3844.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2669" data-original-width="2800" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFS-a_VQBIFm0eWAcoscv_et_ev_7t3UcJ9qambR272tZk8tZncUL7OS7rn_blsp5rKqO-kZnmlEPcqS7LDcePwSG5zy_qG7v_kWiWOQ3naibwurVoBXwEZb5B0-Sc-m3K1mDBgzckOFZWEc05VH2i7k5f5EkN3bwio6ciGswXMJ2Y2zVlDHbJOjrp/s320/BB5BC0F3-4F8D-492A-A9CA-E076C7BF3844.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>*May contain affiliated links* I participate in Amazon Associates Program occasionally.

Every year it gets a little easier as the kids get pickier and have specific things they want. The clothes! So much clothes! </span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">I grew up getting pretty much a whole wardrobe before school started and we kind of continued that. As the kids have gotten older and I have become a fan of minimalism, that’s faded. Don’t get me wrong, they still get a few things because it’s fun and there is usually some need between growth and damage. </div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">Before I even consider looking for clothes, I try and go through everything they have. Stuff they don’t love and I don’t love, goes. Stained, ripped or too small? It allll goes! I don’t want to keep stuff in their drawers they are just going to skip over every day. </div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">Then I grab the bin of hand me downs/sale finds for the next size, whatever size they are growing into. Grab things from it that are weather appropriate and put things back in their drawers. </div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">We keep stuff that is more than 1 year out in the Laundry Room, and stuff likely to be needed soon is in the closet top shelf. I need to label these someway that isn't permanent. I'll add that to my Fall Deep Cleaning/Organizing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihJ7kwGqBJnH7tJZCuecnA9esRJ9Ybl6ZNrpQG3fvFSnORMbPbSBmPuwI-AYUB3l2fJs95TpnBudJEtyaTRkyDdwuztUv93LtBkbicvi8olQG89ekZL4wkdGHYuQYsESknEhBrcIJ_cMI/s2048/68B4DEB3-AB73-4FBC-B129-22E7A9BF97F7.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihJ7kwGqBJnH7tJZCuecnA9esRJ9Ybl6ZNrpQG3fvFSnORMbPbSBmPuwI-AYUB3l2fJs95TpnBudJEtyaTRkyDdwuztUv93LtBkbicvi8olQG89ekZL4wkdGHYuQYsESknEhBrcIJ_cMI/s320/68B4DEB3-AB73-4FBC-B129-22E7A9BF97F7.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmgnAvZ4ykLTUKyiKCWgphmPd_c_B2XP3qx0n2l29G5HnW9OySAOiMHvVOXGlDrsM5PmnzDMPNIZPUeqsH97P-wom6jELGf-73fRzGpXTvIhUyfi4rBYedQdZTFXKqv51H2vDVUSs6Dhc/s2048/4258A081-CDEC-4FBE-951D-E843BB260D3E.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmgnAvZ4ykLTUKyiKCWgphmPd_c_B2XP3qx0n2l29G5HnW9OySAOiMHvVOXGlDrsM5PmnzDMPNIZPUeqsH97P-wom6jELGf-73fRzGpXTvIhUyfi4rBYedQdZTFXKqv51H2vDVUSs6Dhc/s320/4258A081-CDEC-4FBE-951D-E843BB260D3E.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">I like making a note of things they need, socks and underwear are almost always a guarantee, in my checklist app. I also add sizes for tops and bottoms because it can be easy to mix up with 4.

We all have those times we oversleep and grabbing a lunch from the freezer, instead of making one, will save us from being late. Or those times we forgot some crucial ingredient for breakfast, or nights when life is pulling your family in 5 different directions at dinner time. These are the times we take advantage of the freezer instead of takeout. </div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">There is no shortage of blogs, YouTube, and Instagram accounts that have big lists of freezer meals to prep ahead. </div><div style="caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">Don’t skip on basic proteins though.

Between birthdays, Halloween and then Thanksgiving, it can get pretty busy here and doing a thorough deep clean before the madness really gets underway helps things run smoother and makes decorating easier also. You know that's one of my favorite parts!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before you even look at the list below, remember this, it takes days or even a week! Don't get overwhelmed if you don't have a chunk of time to do it. I'd guess most of us don't, I just add a few things to my regular cleaning each day until it's done. This is meant to reduce stress, not create it :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>First things first.. diffuse, or light a candle, good music on (if you like slightly dark sad songs, I've got ya 90 minutes on Spotify </b><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3eKsxr26FjXMYrjUxTJbXB?si=Y8nQKbqMTI6Wb9jbicNFEQ" id="id_1d81_cd51_6e6a_6504">HERE</a><b> lol. The list below is in the order I go, because some stuff needs to sit and work. But you can do what you have time for. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oven. Get something working on that. I use <a href="https://amzn.to/3kLUuPr" target="_blank">Bar Keepers Friend</a> paste and get it on the crusty parts and let it sit while I do other stuff. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">G<b>et ready to dump stuff. Trash expired items in your fridge, freezer, pantry, spices etc. Anything you aren't going to use can go to food pantry if it's not expired. MAKE A LIST of the things you need to replace though so you don't end up without a key ingredient. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">After the trash is done, leave the bag out and clean the inside of the trash bins. I just use hot water and some dish soap, maybe a sponge if it's really bad, usually the hot water and soap soak takes care of everything though. While that is out, I clean under the sink. Take everything out, wipe it out and don't put crap back in that we aren't going to use. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Do the dishes, get the dishwasher going and the sink empty. While the dishwasher is going, polish your sink. I use bar keepers friend here also, along with a <a href="https://amzn.to/3cqQdxQ" target="_blank">Scrub Daddy</a>. clean the inside of the microwave. I use water in a bowl with a drop of lemon oil, microwave for 1 minute, let sit to loosen junk up and then wipe out. I use that warm water and my sponge to clean the small appliances like our <a href="https://amzn.to/3iVZikN" target="_blank">Instant Pot</a>, that get used and ABUSED all year, every day. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once the dishwasher is done, I put 1/2 C of Baking soda down the disposal, and then 1 C of vinegar, run the disposal and wrap that up with about 2 C of ice. Take the disposal cuff off (gag, trust me, so gross) and I toss that in the dishwasher, clean the dishwasher filter, also super gag, then making sure no kids are helping with dishes,<a href="https://amzn.to/3kIsTyt" target="_blank"> and run the dishwasher on a clean cycle to get them both done. </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><ol><li>Throw Curtains in the washer </li><li>Dust/vacuum above your cabinets</li><li>Clean Out Cabinets and pantry, purge, wipe, organize etc. </li><li>Clean Window Tracks..<a href="https://amzn.to/2FWWCoH"> this is super handy </a></li><li>Clean Windows. <a href="https://amzn.to/3iXURG7"> E-Cloth Polishing Cloth</a> is my jam!

Not the whole floor, but you know that spots the mop hasn't managed, or where it doesn't reach. I just use the eraser side of the scrub daddy and water, it doesn't take too long. </li><li>Then mop, I use a microfiber mop similar to the <a href="https://amzn.to/32W2o2r">Spin Mop </a></li></ol></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">After that I have a huge warm drink, tea, coffee, whatever.

Just when I thought we were making the turn to a teeny tiny bit of normalcy...forest fires, whole town fires, evacuation, postponing school, smoke for days, and then more postponing school... it’s just been rough and sad and not normal in any way. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">I am hoping that I can just will some normal bits into place by trying to get back to our normal as much as we can. Usually over the summer I have purged and made sure we have all the things we need in good condition. One area I’ve needed to replace stuff and do some shopping for, is the kitchen. We had a TINY kitchen before and sacrificed having utensils and convenient items that took up space. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><b>I'm also going to get started on our Fall Cleaning this week, starting in the kitchen. Now is a good time to address needs/wants, space and value before buying anything. That will FEEL normal to me, even if nothing else does. The end of September is our normal deep cleaning. </b></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">Now we have an abundance of room but I want to be mindful and stick to useful items. I’m sharing my top 9, most used, kitchen must haves for our busy family of 6. There are a few things I still want to add, like an airfryer, I need to make sure we have room for it. </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><ol style="margin: 0px; padding-left: 2em;"><li><a href="https://amzn.to/2ElCgVn" target="_blank">Instant Pot </a></li></ol><div>We have 2.

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: uictfonttextstylebody; font-size: 17px;">All you do is dump it all in a bowl and mix it up. Then pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Alternatively you can fill about 15 cupcake liners 1/2-3/4 full and bake for the same time. I prefer the cupcake liner method. I love </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2ZC0T83" style="font-family: uictfonttextstylebody; font-size: 17px;" target="_blank">these silicone liners</a><span style="color: #454545; font-family: uictfonttextstylebody; font-size: 17px;">.

That’s it! Let them cool a little bit and eat right away or completely cool and they are simple to cut, and easy to grab and go. With the muffin version, I let cool then flash froze and tossed in a gallon bag for quick breakfast on the go. They thaw pretty quick! </div>

Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla protein, dried peaches or strawberry, some jam (maybe reduce the sugar a bit) so many possibilities! </div>
