Time to Put on Martha

This week in my Time For Martha series, I’ll be looking at my weekly chore list.

We have daily chores that everyone does:

• everyone has a room downstairs that gets tidied and vacuumed/swept every day
• everyone has Team Work in the kitchen that gets done every day

But, I’ve never been consistent with weekly chores, Martha has never been my strength. The children and I normally do a monthly deep clean in a room (our school schedule is three weeks on, one week off and on our off week we deep clean a different room), but those weekly chores sort of get done when I get around to it.

Not Any More!

I’ve come up with a tentative schedule for my needs that I’ve begun implementing this past week. It looks like this:

• Monday: grocery shopping
• Tuesday: bathrooms/weekly baking
• Wednesday: bedrooms/hallway
• Thursday: laundry
• Friday: kitchen
• Saturday: living room/den
• Sunday: menu planning

I’m still in the midst of figuring out all that I want to accomplish each week, more ways to Put On Martha. I’m also hoping that keeping on top of the deeper maintenance each week will allow our once-a-month deep cleaning to give me more room to actually get some things fixed or re-decorated.

How do  YOU order your weekly cleaning? I’d love to hear your input.
