Just now I browsed Pinterest for some cleaning ideas and schedules. None of them fit what I was looking for completely. So, I created my own weekly schedule I plan to follow to the best of my ability. I was going to attach a link to what I created; however, it didn't work. So I have copied and pasted the "Wesley Cleaning Schedule" here.
(I am spacing it down quite a bit so you can see it without interfering with the pictures and junk to the right.)

Before Christmas I started to gather pictures that I wanted to print and frame in black and white. I wanted it to look somewhat artsy but still affordable. So, I decided to buy the cheapest frames I could find from Walmart... which were simple and thin. I printed the pictures online and picked them up at Walgreens. In my opinion, it turned out quite nicely. Here's a picture of the final display on the wall above the couch in our living room. I also collect elephants and decided to include a couple of prints I liked on elephant poo paper. Yes, the paper is made of elephant poop. I bought it back when I was going to school for graphic design and finally have a neat reason to use it. The picture makes the paper seem white and plain, but its really cream colored with a natural wrinkle and grain appearance. What do you think?
After looking at the picture again, I think I will lower the top picture of our house a hair and scoot the picture of the dogs a little to the left.

I'm currently reading The Help and am having a hard time putting it down. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend reading it at some point. It really makes me appreciate the people before me and the things they did to make our country a better place. Sometimes we forget to look at the journey we've come and reflect only on our current situation.
My break from school is flying by way too quickly. I know that come next Monday I will have zero free to time enjoy sitting back and reading for leisure. Oh well. It will be worth it in the end. At least most of the school material I will be reading throughout the semester is actually interesting and insightful to me. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
Anyway, I should go and finish my book...
Much love,
Em
Looks good. Maybe I can help out a bit with the cleaning ;)
ReplyDeletewow, i'd have to say that your cleaning schedule looks pretty intense. My favorite is "relax" on Saturdays. :) Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteAnd the pictures look great!
