60 day neat home challenge

Hi, I’m Heather. Have we met? Since your reading this, then probably. 😉

You probably already know I’m kind of in love with lists and crossing things off them. A big long Sunday to-do list can be so gratifying. Rarely do I ever finish an entire list (too many ideas???), but I’ve come close.

Oh yeah, you already know I’m pregnant, so I’ve got that crazy nesting bug going on too.

List lover + nesting mama = long days leaving me t.i.r.e.d.

Does it make me stop? Nope.

Does it make my husband upset that I do so much? Sometimes yes…

Will I stop? Heck no I’d go crazy.

Did I come up with a plan to still get stuff done, check off a list and not wipe my preggo self out? YES!

There are so many little things that I want to get done before our little guy gets here, and when I looked at my babybump app a couple days ago and saw that I had 70+ days to go before my due date, I worried there was no time! Today this is what I see…

60 days to tackle tons of little things. Open up the spreadsheet to see what I’ll be doing every day. 60 Day Neat Home Challenge Spreadsheet

Each item on my list should take me anywhere between 5-15 minutes a day. Nothing too overwhelming, but a little bit a day will be A LOT in 60 days.

You could think of it as spring cleaning, or just getting the house a bit more organized. I’ve included cleaning, organizing and even some outdoor yard work. Hopefully this rainy Washington weather cooperates when I get to those days.

This challenge isn’t just for me though, it’s for you too.

Yes I said YOU! I created the 60 day neat home challenge in a format you can modify and use yourself. You can also just print the PDF version with all my to-do’s on it, or go into the excel version and customized it to work for you and your family. Hey, maybe even use some of my ideas cause, take it from me, coming up with 60 things was tricky! There’s an extra row at the bottom for anything you think of to add as extra… just because 🙂

About every 10 days I’ll post an update of how things are going with my little challenge (gotta keep myself honest and motivated!), and also any links to YOUR 60 day neat home challenge blog post. If you don’t have a blog but still want to participate, just email me (gethealthywithheather@comcast.net) a picture or two and what all you accomplished on your list during that time frame. We’ll keep each other motivated!!

Today is day 1 for me, so what will I do? Dust the tower which holds a lot of my polish pottery on it right when I get home from work!

AND I will cross it off (of course) too. A good feeling 🙂

What do you think?!?! A little spring cleaning/organizing/fun having all together? Just 5-15 minutes a day. Not too overwhelming right? I hope not!

I’m super excited about this and feel like its going to be a really good challenge. I hope you’ll join me!

And because it’s fun….

When I was making my list around #40 I got kind of stuck. Asking the hubby didn’t help either. His suggestion to add? Just rest every day. HA! Husband… have you met me? Guess not 🙂

Who’s joining me? Did you catch Hunter’s nursery progress yesterday? The mural is all done!

Happy Wednesday all!!

Heather
