- Make a master grocery list on the computer, organizing items bought at each of the four stores I shop at and then further subdivided by grocery department
- Clean the kids' bedrooms and completely organize them. Get rid of clothing that doesn't fit, toys/books/games that aren't wanted/used, wash all bedding, prepare air conditioner for use, dust and wash floors, vacuum mattresses and ceiling fans.
- Give a fresh coat of paint in a new color to the dining room, front entry and laundry room
- Organize the laundry room (a major eye sore right now!) once it has been painted. Add hooks near the back door for dog supplies (coats, leash, etc) and for kids jackets/swimsuits, find a space to store muddy shoes for the spring
- Drop off all unwanted items to donation bins: clothing, books, movies, toys etc
- Thoroughly clean the entire yard/property (including the storage area) and making a list of items that need fixing or replacing and prep yard for all spring/summer plans (planting/landscaping, a new pool, etc)
- Set up the kitchen bulletin board with laminated chore charts, a master schedule for all family members & menus. (Remember to purchase hooks to hang said bulletin board!)
- Clean out the downstairs bedroom (formerly my grandmother's room): pack all belongings, donate items, sell or donate furniture, wash walls & curtains, dust (window sills, blinds, ceiling fan, etc) and shampoo carpet
This major list is in addition to my typical spring cleaning and planning list, which I will write more about at a later date. For now, I am off to finish my coffee and check off a couple of the items on the list :)
~ Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
