Tidy Up Tuesday

Tuesday seems as good a day as any to tidy up the house and get laundry done. Now that the little ones ( or not so little anymore in my case) are back in school, I can do cleaning most days of the week. On the list today just happens to be laundry.

I have come a long way with keeping up with the laundry. I no longer have a Mt. Washmore in my laundry room. Though I still have plenty to keep me quite busy.

Just a tip, if you do a load of laundry a day from start to finish it will help you keep up. When you get up start a load of laundry and by lunch time you should have it dried and put away.

Now I know some of you are saying "but I have other things to do during the day, appointments etc.". I understand that, and that's OK. This post is mostly for the work at home mom such as myself or stay at home moms.

I have worked outside the home and I know its hard to do a load of laundry a day. One step at a time, that's what it will take. Find what works best for you.

Have you started your load of laundry today? : )

Tuesday Tidbits

It's been a busy few days around here so I wanted to give a few tidbits for Tuesday's post.

Truck Update: I got it back- it is fixed and seems to be perfect again... though I have some sources I am researching for getting my money back for the repair as I, along with hundreds of others, believe that this should have been a recall by Ford. Nevertheless, I have the truck back and it's fine.


The Bachelor: OK so I watch this show.... I have no idea why really as I am almost positive that it's all staged in some way or another, but I watch and here are my two cents if anyone cares : ).

Jake is a great guy, but he has serious issues with seeing the light. Tonight's episode was crazy to say the least. Drama fest anyone? After last weeks episode I read Reality Steve's blog and he stated that on tonight's episode after the Sea World date that girl would not receive a rose.... well she did... so now instead of just reading his blog I guess I have to watch for myself...in fast-forward of course as I DVR'ed it so I could skip the drama parts. In my opinion, not that I honestly care one way or another, the only sane girls there are Tenley and the girl from tonights Sea World date.

If he does in fact do as Reality Steve predicts and chooses Vienna he is definitely hiding it well. Vienna just seems to be so out of the loop and all about herself, which makes sense given she wants to win the guy of course.


OK off my soap box now. Sorry for the rambling about The Bachelor but I just finished watching it so I had to get that out of my head.

I have more posts coming: recipes, kid stuff, my crazy cat (you will see why I say she is crazy soon) and other random musings. Stay Tuned and share with your friends : )

Oh one more Tuesday Tidbit, I have FINALLY gotten a hold on my laundry thanks to FlyLady's babysteps and hope it stays this way!! My house has not been a huge mess but with 3 kids it can get a little upside down at times and FlyLady's tips and email's and support group seem to make it a lot smoother that is for sure!!

What are your thoughts on the laundry process and making it go smoother? Do you have your kids help with their own laundry? Leave me a comment and tell me what you think, I would love to see if I am on the right track!
