I call today Domestic Day! All the rooms in my house have been cleaned on the other four days of the week (well, that’s the theory!), so today is all about being domestic! Do you have rooms that haven’t been covered yet? Maybe you didn’t get a chance to do some of the focus rooms, or you have an outdoor area that needs attention? Today is also a great day to take care of all the other domestic type activities, like baking, sewing, scrapbooking, whatever tickles your fancy!
Today, I’ll be working on designing a quilt for my son’s big boy bed. He is in a toddler bed at the minute, but soon will be transitioning into a single bed, so that we can reclaim the cot for our new baby. I plan on making him a lovely patchwork quilt to help ease the transition. I also have some office work to catch-up on – some design work for my photography business, as well as some book-keeping that I do. If I get all that done with time to spare, I need to spend some extra time in my office, tidying it up, as it is an absolute mess!
Today is also the last day of recycling week over at Domestic Guru. Why don’t you spend some time today looking at what else you could be doing to “Reduce, Re-use, Recycle”? Do you use cloth nappies? Maybe today would be a good day to look into modern cloth nappies. Do you compost? Why not look at making a compost bin, or if you are short on space, look at buying a bokashi bin. If you don’t use reusable shopping bags, why not buy some? Have a think about just one area in your life, where you could cut back on waste going into ladfill, and try & find a more environmentally-friendly way of doing things.
And the obscure job for the day – a 50 item pickup. This one idea completely changed the way my house looks when it’s clean. Once you have completed your daily tasks & focus room, go for a walk through the house & put away 50 items that aren’t in their proper place. I know it sounds a lot, but it is really amazing how many things get out of place during the week!
Have a great day! I’ll be back tomorrow for a “weekend warriors” edition, but if you have weekends off, see you Monday & have a great weekend!
