2 Hour Challange...

I am a person who likes a challenge.  If I'm not up against a time clock, I tend to work slower with more breaks.  So, I came up with my Two Hour Challenge a few months ago and it has worked really well for me! 

Today is my first day at home since last Wednesday -- needless to say my house isn't in the best shape!  I have a lot of things that need to get done today and I am wanting to see how much of it I can get done in 2 hours.  Like my last 2 Hour Challange, I'll report back in after the two hours are up to let you know how I have done.  

Here is my list for today...

• Put Roast in the Slow cooker for dinner
• Laundry
  
• Clean Bathroom
  
• Straighten up and dust living room
• Vacuum all floors
• Make an Apple Pie & Waffles for the Freezer
• Make bed and tidy up our bedroom
• Wash Dishes, sweep and mop kitchen
• Fold Laundry

I know that is a lot to get done in two hours, but I think I can do it -- or hit pretty close to it!   I have a few more things I need to get to today, but I'm going to focus on my main goal of just getting the house clean.

What are some things ya'll challenge yourselves with to keep your house tidy?

No post...?!?!

I'm taking a break from posting for a few days... unless I find some great deals later this afternoon!

My sister is coming for a visit this weekend and staying through Tuesday.  So I won't be spending much time on the computer these next few days!  ;)

Right now I'm off to clean and organize my house! 

Happy Friday, ya'll!!

The 2 Hour Challange...

The Hubby and I spent the weekend helping our friends with their wedding

so things around the house that we normally do on the weekends just didn't get done. :P

Therefore, I woke up to a messy house this morning.

I decided to set a timer for two hours and see what all I can accomplish in that time frame.

I'll be back to report later what all I was able to complete in those two hours

Wish me luck!

Where I've been...

Sorry for the lack of posting towards the end of this past week.

We were helping a friend prepare for her wedding this past Saturday.

Then we helped serve and clean after the wedding as well.

It was fun and tiring

And brought back sooo many memories from our own wedding

and the fact that I decided it would stink to the a wedding coordinator!  ;)

Anyway, you can expect a ton of posts today as I try to catch up on all the deals I missed!

Happy Monday!
