I don't know about you, but I strongly dislike cleaning. I know I'm probably the only one out there, but dudes. It's bad. I will start, and have awesome intention. Then.... I get distracted and totally go off on something else. Ugh. Oh. I super hate laundry too. I swear, adding a 2nd kid into our family has totally like tripled our piles of clothes. Ok, ok... Maybe not tripled, but it sucks. I am lazy. I can admit it, but last night I had this crazy idea. What if I made a daily cleaning checklist?? Hmmmm.... And what if I hang it above my computer screen so when I am scrolling around Facebook & Pinterest, I might have a little guilt. Hmmmm. Yes. This might work!!
So. I made THIS beauty after the kids went to bed.
Kind of cute, right? Maybe pink isn't your color.... But for me, it so is.
I mean, check out my old VW Beetle... Ahhh, what a beaut.
My laundry room....
CRAP! See, DISTRACTED!
Anyways. The frame was fun, quick, and it's super cute!
I found an old wood frame, did a quick paint job, frame- done.
I made a list of all the chores that we needed to get done to keep up on things, separated them between the days, some have more that others, printed them out, cut them out, lists- done.
Cut a piece of scrapbook paper, glued it down on the black backer board thingy, glued the lists- done.
Put it all back together.
Cut some vinyl. Stuck it on.
BAM! Done. Super cute.
Also, since it's in a picture frame, I could use a dry erase marker & check-a-roo stuff off!!
Another good thing about the list, when I'm not home, the hubby could see what needs to get done... Sooooooo, no excuses, righhhhht??? Heehee....

I'm not a professional crafter, by any means. So don't judge.
Off to enjoy Sunday dinner!
You are so good about being organized! I think that when I have more time at home (instead of being at work all the time) that this will begin to happen for me. =)
