What a day - I got so much done I can't even believe it!!

All the walls have been washed and all the touch up paint is done. The kitchen has been deep cleaned and I deep cleaned the back room of the house that we use to get to the back yard.

I am so happy that this is all done!!

There is still more to do, so my helpers will be left with a list while I am at work.

Mel, that's fantastic!

I've been working on eating from the freezer and organizing our basement freezer for the last couple of weeks. This has been a real busy season that should slow down by next weekend.

This week I want to read the grocery ads for sales. I'd like to stock up on gravy, seasonal canned goods, baking needs, etc. I'd like to organize my baking shelf and clean my refrigerator.

Food-storage area have all been cleaned out. I am now in the food-making stretch!

I also need to address cards and continue some crafting. I am making a felt doll to put in a tin can (like an altoid) with a magnetic Christmas tree in it too.
Need to continue online shopping too.

This week, I have been able to get a lot of things done. It feels so good to see a difference in the rooms.

I cleaned the first floor carpets. My daughter's toy area got cleaned. I dropped off a box of gently used clothes, toys and books to a good cause. I organized the kitchen some more. Front porch and back patio were swept. Mudroom closet was cleaned out and organized.

Dh and I worked on making our Thanksgiving shopping list. I still have to go through the grocery circulars and see what to stock up on.

I hope everyone else is having a good week!

Great job, Mary!!

I made the list of what I will bake for the holidays and put the needed ingredients on the grocery list.

I have a HUGE garbage bag and a box of donations that will get dropped off on Saturday.

 

[happy2bme]

I got the pantry cleaned out this afternoon, still have to do the fridge - I HATE that job.

I put two more bags of donations in the car to get dropped off tomorrow.

WTG Mel! getting stuff out of the house is the easiest way to the cleaning afterwards.

 

[happy2bme]

I ordered another gift online last night and bought two more today. I also bought some stocking stuffers.

My shopping is just about done!!

 

[luludou]

Got a big pack of breakfast sausages cooked & frozen afterwards. Made 76 meatballs that I also froze. Made a datte square recipe too to be frozen.

It sounds like everyone had a productive week. I never got to the grocery store or cleaned out the refrigerator. My parents are redoing their basement and needed some help with painting, woodworking, hanging doors, etc. this weekend. I hope to catch up this week.
