Beautify Our Lives and Homes ~ Monday 5/16/11



My dear followers,
Today I will continue the “Beautify My Home Mondays” Series with a twist on the name… “Beautify Our Lives and Homes” and it won’t be just on Mondays… I will be blogging daily!
I want to talk to you about my Daily to do list or what others call Daily Routine. I want to go into more detail on how I go about my days and how I accomplish everything I do.
If you are new to my blog you can go Here to catch up on this series.

Let’s start with Mondays: Yes I know it’s super, super, super late! To my excuse, after waiting for over two years for my beloved to hire someone to trim the over grown trees in our back yard and not Whining about it,(yes, it’s true I didn’t whine about it, I think!) I also went ahead and worked on the back yard as I waited on the workers that didn’t show up on time! My yard is looking good now, Oh and the workers are finally here working as I'm blogging, very, very late! OK back to my Mondays!

You already know I Beautify my Home on Mondays, I don’t do any deep cleaning on Mondays! I am  tired from the weekend, but I want to make sure the house is presentable just in case someone shows up unexpected My home and I are always ready! Side Note: Today, this list went out the window for the Morning! That's ok, don't beat yourself up if you don't check off every item on your list, there's always tomorrow!

This is what I do the moment my feet hit the ground!
1. Shower/Wash-up, Make-up, Hair, Dress to Shoes! It’s very important for me to wear my shoes even if I’m not going anywhere. When I have my shoes on, I feel ready (and I am) for anything! It’s all in the mind, it’s like my mind and yours will says, “OK, we’re ready for work”!
2. I tidy up my bathroom as I go along. If my husband comes after me, he is kind enough to do the same.
3. Make my bed.
4. Eat Breakfast
5. Quiet time with the Lord (Devotion)
6. Check items for Dinner, thaw if necessary.
