Goals
A very boring post, I'm sure, but I wanted to write down some housekeeping goals. I think I have been improving in my housekeeping abilities and general attitude towards this noble contribution to our family, but there is always room for improvement, and I find writing down goals to always be helpful!
1. Cook 6 dinners a week instead of 4. (But feel no guilt or shame if a dinner fails and we have to get pizza, it's the effort that counts.)
2. Try at least 1 new recipe per week.
3. Try at least 1 meatless dinner per week.
4. Work on service projects: Terracycle and Baking Gals. Anyone out there looking for a from-home community service project, these are great causes! You can help me or start your own collection brigade or baking team. I am super excited about this one because I've felt that my service has been sorely lacking since becoming a mom, so pumped that I can help from home!
5. Let Hubby help with sweeping floors, putting away laundry.
6. Every day: Laundry, dishes, counters, recycling, trash, tidy
7. Every other day: Bathroom, vacuum
8. Every week: change sheets and towels, mop floors, grocery shop
That's it for now! A respectable challenge for me, the housework-impaired.
Ooo, I'll send you some cookbooks. We have a veg one (Moosewood) coming out, and some other fun ones.
ReplyDeleteWas that 'let hubby help with sweeping....' because you don't let him help, or because you're dropping a hint?

I need to be better about letting Hubby help with things. My mom was homemaker of the year (I'm not kidding), so I have a hard time allowing myself to not live up to that standard.
