It's another year to encourage one another and tell what we have gotten done/want to do/how we plan to tackle it.

Week of Jan 1, 2017 flylady Zone 1: The Entrance, Front Porch and Dining Room
Spend 15 min each day for five days (use the weekends to enjoy your family) IF you have more time after the daily missions, proceed to the deep cleaning list. Over the course of a year, you will have gone through all tasks/parts of your home.
Missions:
Mon:Shake out your doormats and sweep the front porch.
Tues:Put away all the the pile of junk mail and put away the magazines and school papers that are piled on the dining room table.
Wed: In the entryway, find the mail, shoes and jackets and put them away!
Thurs: Check your front door and remove any decorations left there
Fri: Wipe down the tops, the edges, and the legs on your Dining Room Table. Give the chairs a wipe too.
Entrance Detailed Cleaning List
Start at the ceiling and work your way down to the floor.
Clean cobwebs
Dust window sills and front door
Clean switch plate of hand prints and walls if needed
Put plants in to the shower and give them a good rinse. Let them set there until you are finished.
Dust furniture
Dust baseboards
Straighten the coat closest
Sweep vacuum or mop the floor
Put back the plants. You would hate for DH to walk into a jungle tomorrow morning.
Add your own personal touches to make it more welcoming.
