So some Monday's are manic and some magical, but for some reason Mondays just are a fresh start and I am ready to put my house back in order from the weekend.
It hasn't always been that way. I have come a LONG way in my housekeeping abilities.
Is it because my kids are older and they help more-- maybe, but they also make messes more.
Is is because I finally understand (but still struggle with) getting rid of clutter? YES!
Is it because I like a clean house, it feels more calm to me? YES
Is is because it is easier to get other projects accomplished when you aren't worried about cleaing a mess before starting a new one? YES
all these and more reasons.
Anyway---just like I did for Sunday, let me give you a rundown of how I envision Mondays looking.
1st Monday: Plan your Cleaning: I am forever planning/reading on HOW to clean your house, and the best schedule to use, but I never really put any into practice--so every 6 weeks or so I will try a new schedule of house cleaning.
2nd Monday: How I stay organized, my Brain book, and other helps. You will just have to read it every 2nd Monday to see what I am talking about!
3rd Monday: How to make our houses lovelier. I read once about a lady that cleaned her house really well, saw how ugly it really was, and never cleaned it again. I want to clean and beautify my living space. Hopefully I can get something done every month to report to you :)
4th Monday: So my body needs cleaned up! I am not sure about you, but I am holding on to about 35 extra pounds since Monster was born and I need something to get rid of it. I get tired of the same thing day in and day out, so I have made an exercise plan for the next 6 weeks, after that I will switch it up---Maybe knowing you are reading this will help me stay accountable!

I got this book called 'The Creation Plan' from my Mother-in-law "Glam-ma" and it talks about how God created the world and how we should organize ourselves in the same way.
Today I will start that method, and I will report back on how I feel it is working (or not working) for me.
This chart (taken from The Lightsome Life) is a basic understanding of The Creation Plan.
