A Little Glimpse of Me

An Old Way to do A New Thing

I have tried out all sorts of chore plans over the years, and I have enjoyed them all for a season, but I like to mix things up a bit now and then. So today I devised a way to make our chore time less stressful during the summer months. Here is what I came up with. You might recognize it from your studies through the pioneers...

 

Monday

Wash & Iron Day

 Use the clothes line, weather permitting. Laundry room should be cleaned and organized between washing loads. Clothes should be ironed and hung up. Drawers should be organized and all items should be put away.

Tuesday

Market Day

 This is the day to run all my errands including trips to the grocery store and library. Food should be put away when brought home. Organize the fridge, cupboards and pantry’s at this time. Weekly Menu’s should be posted.

Wednesday

Food Prep & Sewing Day

Food bought yesterday should be prepped and bagged. Freezer meals should be assembled. Mending and Sewing should be done today. Tidy up Sewing Room on this day.

Thursday

Gardening & Family Day

After weeding the garden, go for some family fun with ideas like: The Zoo, Museum of Art, Downtown Library, ParkBotanical Gardens, Drive-In Movies, Picnic @ the Park, YMCA, Indoor Picnic & Movie Day, Board Games, Grandma's Campground, Swimming at the KOA Campground.

Friday

Cleaning Day

Today is the day to clean the whole house, top to bottom. Check the yard & van as well. The garage can be straightened if needed. Yard work includes cutting the lawn and weeding.

Saturday

Baking Day & Projects Day

 Get bread for the week baked, cakes or cookies for functions, and prepare meals for the freezer not already done on Wednesday. Prepare a meal for Sunday so you can rest!

 Today is also the day for projects. Examples include Cleaning out the garage, Painting, Cleaning the Yard, Home Improvements etc...

Hi Tabatha,

MFW Kindegarten is pretty good, but somewhat confusing. I really like Heart of Dakota that is a lot like MFW, but better thought out and executed. I think you should look into that curriculum

God Bless,
Michelle
