30 Day Hate to Clean Plan

Hate to clean? 

As much as I love having a clean house, the process of cleaning and dusting and organizing can be a pain. And there are always things I avoid doing because they’re either putsy, awkward (climbing on ladders to dust up high) or just not pleasant.

So here I have an exclusive FREE Printable “I Hate to Clean” 30-Day Plan to help make it easier!!!!!!

It simplifies cleaning your whole house by giving you one not-so-fun task to to do each day for 30 days. This way by the end of the month you’ll have all those yucky tasks you’ve been avoiding DONE!

You do get a few “FREE” days during the month too. You can use these for either resting or doing any other task you need to include on this calendar.

It’s great for any time of year. I like to get a lot of cleaning done in January when our schedules are quieter and it’s cold out anyway. Spring is another time I like to get a lot of cleaning done. 

Whenever it can help you…

20 tips fun frugal christmas printables

Christmas can be such a busy and expensive time, but it doesn’t have to be.

What I remember most about Christmas as a kid were the simple traditions – singing Christmas songs, driving around looking at holiday lights, baking cookies. Presents were fun of course but not everything. Yet it seems like they’re everything in our world today! But you can still enjoy a meaningful Christmas without all the “stuff.”

Here are 20 tips for a festive and frugal Christmas, as well as a free printable list and gift coupons that you can customize and give!
