Even days of the month- means that I TRY to get these things done on the even days ie, November 18,20,22 etc. And here are the dreaded "rules."
1. Complete 1 load of laundry- I have a love affair with Layla's laundry. I hate more than most things to do Kday's and my laundry. What fun is it to wash giant, old, boring clothes when you can opt to wash and fold all of Layla's darling, tiny, yummy stuff? I love love love doing her laundry, so I had to "make a deal" with myself because I found that my "1 daily load" was always hers. So now I have to complete 1 grown-up and 1 baby laundry load. Now here's the catch!!! COMPLETE A LOAD OF LAUNDRY MEANS washed, dried, folded, and put away.... in the drawers or closet. Not the laundry basket shoved in the closet waiting for items to be picked through and wrinkled until its not even considered clean anymore (you know what I'm talking about! Don't pretend you never do that :)) This way I can throw a batch in and fold it up throughout the day only taking about 5 min at a time instead of wasting every saturday beneath piles and piles of dirty socks.
2. Wipe down the bathroom: My second love affair in my life is Clorox wipes. I keep a bottle of them in the kitchen and bathroom at all times. I do the shower (Kaboom- no nasty chemical smells and it takes away all the grime with ease and my clorox wipes), toilet (clorox wand and Lysol gel), sink with the dirty hand towel (feel free to splash some water about onto the floors while cleaning the sink... to be used to wipe the floors!) and last but not least wipe the floors down with the dirty hand towel. Throw away the wipes, toss the towel in the dirty clothes and it's done in no time! Don't forget behind the door, I know you never shut it... but your guests do!

You inspire me. But how did you know that I currently have "clean" clothes draped over the edge of my bed because I was too lazy to hang them up and my socks are still in the laundry basket?
I used to be organized like this. Not really sure what happened. But I may add some KIT's to my blog and still some of yours.
oh shan. i can't help but comment on every single post! you make me laugh. i love that you only want to wash layla's clothes!! if i had a girl i might feel the same...alas, jude is a boy and his clothes don't inspire me! lol and yes, i am guilty of the clean clothes in the laundry basket. dang!!! but i must say, i clean my bathroom at least every other day and i like all your tips. i'm obsessed with the clorox wand...now i just wish someone would come up with a plunger i could throw out!!!
Shannon,
You are amazing with your even, odd day plan for cleaning your house! I'm still wishing for a vacuum like yours! Even an old mom like me can learn something new! I love seeing the pictures of Layla too. She's adorable! Ellen Baggaley
