jampss....what a list. You are so well organised. TFS the list there are a few things on there that I should consider doing at my house.
Jampss - you are amazing! I love your list. I'm a list girl! I'd like to borrow it too. From one FL girl to another, "thanks".
Thanks!
Many thanks, y'all, but I can't take the credit! A few years ago when I started on here and doing the Jumpstart ... one of the ladies doing the Jumpstart had a list like this and I just added my own house areas to what she already had!
Then I just copy and paste it for every new year!
Yes, I am a list girl! Love making them ... but sticking to them is another story! LOL Last year, I fell off the cleaning band wagon early. Will try better this year!

Well I finally got Christmas all put away and now to tackle the bedroom. I don't know why I put it off...I need to focus on just one thing at a time, and I should hopefully see progress.
I have one more room to dedecorate and that is the kitchen, but my office is calling me!
Planning on doing the office today and the kitchen tomorrow, my cleaning schedule has already changed because I have busy with life stuff lately and not home much. I am hoping I can pull it together soon to get back on track.
