Winter Cleaning

In South Texas, we don't necessarily have a winter at all (or at least we don't in December like everyone else). If anything we have a couple of cool fronts back to back that allow me the freedom to finally open up all my windows and not crank the AC for the entire day. I usually try to keep my house looking clean day to day, but there always comes a time when I'm finally ready to actually CLEAN and not just hide things around the house in case friends come over. This weekend we will also be having a rescue group over to do a home visit so we can adopt another beagle (very exciting!) so I definitely need to get the house in order before these strangers come over to judge my home.

I'm a list kind of person. I could make lists all day but not actually use them, too. Either way, lists help me feel more organized and probably actually do make me more productive than I think I am.

• Base Boards (Thanks doggies!)
• Window Blinds
• Reorganize Coats/Closets
• Set-up My Office
• Vacuum/Clean Mattress
• Weed Backyard/Sideyard
• Seal hardwood flooring

Everything else is typically things I do daily/every other day. Time to stock up on Magic Erasers and floor cleaner and get to work....one of these days. I woke up this morning with complete intention to get some of these things out of the way but instead my day was better spent laying on the couch with Bailey avoiding all house and homework I needed to get done.
