Save Our Sanity

 I had very good intentions to bust out the Organised Mum routine this week. I even made my bed on Monday morning, such a waste of time. But then we decided we should start  renovating our upstairs, which included renting a large floor sander, and chaos ensued.

Alrighty. Our second cleaning routine to try out is the Organised Mum routine, and no, I do not have a spelling error, as the Organised Mum, Gemma Bray, is most definitely a Brit.

So here is the rundown of the Organised Mum routine.

There are three different levels, daily jobs: day specific tasks, and Friday focus tasks.

So, overall, I did not mind the Clean Mama routine, but let’s be honest here, I do not feel the need to dust my whole house top to bottom each week.  I also do not feel it is necessary to wipe the baseboards.

Alright, I started my first day of the Clean Mama routine on Monday morning. Now, I am usually in the office all day Monday, but as we went to print on Friday due to New Year’s, I was at home and could fully invest in my Monday routine.

One of my favorite things about life is that if something isn’t working, and that something is within your control, you can change it. Writing Switchgrass School wasn’t working anymore, so I have now changed it to S.O.S. - Save Our Sanity!  It is a horrible name, but I am just going to own it and move on.

I have been thinking I should rename this little piece of the paper as I haven’t discussed homeschooling much. Honestly, we have kind of found our groove, and as we are now curriculum-based homeschoolers, which I did not think would happen at all, but I am not mad, our days are all very similar and routine.

The winter storm we had last week sure did throw my house into a tizzy, or should I say, threw me into a tizzy. I am still on my quest to become more minimalistic, and being stuck in the house for four days only amped up my mission.
