I have been working on this since July - trying to figure out what I can handle once school got started again. A lot of the checklists I had found before were created by mommies who are a bit more germophobic than myself (and who wouldn't be if they had the pleasure of staying at home) and I just don't have the time or sanity to be THAT thorough... I stumbled upon blog (via Pinterest) of a Mommy who thinks like me and needs a plan for tackling everything. I think the same way and I kind of had a plan for what got done on what days last year. But then the other things that didn't necessarily need done weekly would fall through the cracks as I forgot how long ago it had been done. I needed what I do all the time for homework... A CHECKLIST!

So...I pondered her idea and simplified it for our busy, yet teeny house. Add a neat font, and some appropriate clipart and BOOM!
What can I say? I'm just a bit addicted to clipart. I can't say that I've been 100% faithful to this schedule but 1 month into this school year, our house has become cleaner and stayed cleaner than the previous years! Though, I will also say that I prepped soooooo much more school stuff this summer than I have before...
We are determined to have a cleaner, healthier, and more organized school year which equals MORE SANITY FOR ME!
