HHP

This week is bathroom and linen closet week for the HHP. Today I cleaned the upstairs bath. I checked the linen closet, but it's still pretty organized from Spring cleaning. I did the downstairs bath last week because it was laundry week and that's where the washer and dryer are. The whole upstairs is completely clean. I just have the kitchen and dining room left. The porch is scheduled to be finished this Friday so we'll be trying to finish the inside this weekend.

Puzzle

I did my new Fall puzzle last week. It was really easy for 1000 pieces. It only took a week to complete. It was still fun.


Boo!

I decorated for Halloween this past weekend. I did above the mantle area a little differently this year. I have a Halloween wreath that was there last year, but I think I'm saving that for the porch door.

Jumping Ahead

I jumped ahead of the HHP again. I cleaned the downstairs bathroom today. Running the washing machine cleaner through right now. It's also the laundry room and that's the room for next week. I just have to go through the closets and bureaus next week so that should be an easy week. I didn't do anything for Rudolph Day yet this month. I don't really have much to do. I will probably do one more order for Hubby and then he's done and everyone else is fairly quick and easy. I do stocking stuffers in one trip to the trial size aisle in November and I do Christmas cards in November in one sitting. I've got ideas for the people on my list it's just a matter of running to the stores a couple of times and I'll be done.

Houseworks Holiday Plan

I'm doing good on the plan. I'm actually ahead of the plan right now. I cleaned the spare bedroom last week and yesterday I cleaned the living room. That was the last of the carpets that needed cleaning. I also cleaned the mud room and decorated it for Fall this weekend. I just have the bathrooms and the kitchen/dining rooms left. I've got curtains in the laundry right now and I'm going to wash a couple of rugs next. I put my Winter picture up in the living room over the loveseat because I don't have a Fall picture and I figured it was easier to put it up when I was changing the slipcover since I store the other picture behind the loveseat. Holiday prep is going pretty good too. I've done most of it on Rudolph days all year. Looking forward to finishing early and having a relaxing December again this year.

Fall Basket

My Mom, Aunt and I did the Fall arrangement for our year round baskets this weekend. I think they came out pretty good.



Yesterday, I deep cleaned the master bedroom. It's fresh, clean and ready for Winter. I just have to pull out the clean blanket when it gets cool enough and I have some Fall leaves flannel sheets to keep us cozy.

Houseworks Holiday Plan

So the plan started last week. I got the computer room cleaned top to bottom. I had cleaned out the files a few weeks earlier. I shredded for days after that. This week was the craft room. I have it clean and fresh and I cleaned the carpet in there when I was done. I also cleaned the front stoop so I guess I'm mixing the plans a little, but I'm trying to stick mostly to the houseworks plan. Next week is the master bedroom, but it's still too warm for nice thick blankets. I have to clean the carpets though so I will probably stick to the order of the rooms.
