I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

We have already taken a look at our Morning and Evening Routines and our Weekly Schedules.  The next page in my Homekeeping Binder is my daily schedule sheet.  This just gives me some help to accomplish what needs to be taken care of in a week to keep our home and family life running without chaos.  Every evening as I am putting my to do list together for tomorrow I take a look at the daily schedule for the day and use it to aid me in my list of what needs to be taken care of.  If you plugged your weekly schedule into the calendar already you have pretty much put together a daily schedule.  As I am putting this binder together usually I just use Word to type my lists into – it is nothing fancy but literally just a list.

Here is an example of what my daily list looks like:

Monday:
Morning Routine
Weekly Home Blessing Day (This is a Flylady favorite of mine)
– Toss magazines
– Change bed sheets
– Empty trash cans
– Feather dust all rooms
– Vacuum all rooms
– Mop kitchen and main bathroom floor
– Clean glass on front and back doors
Work in Zone for 30 minutes (zones will be the next post)
Grocery shopping
Dinner/dessert for bible study group
Evening Routine

Tuesday:
Morning routine
Clean fridge
Vacuum basement
Laundry
Office work
Home business work
Nutrition class work
Bible study work
Work 30 minutes in current zone
Evening routine

Wednesday:
Morning routine
Garbage day
Office work finished for week/bills paid
Write correspondence (thank you’s, cards to mail)
Laundry/iron
1 hour in current zone
Nutrition class work
Evening routine

Thursday:
Morning routine
Home and work filing
Reconcile bank statements for home, work and church if necessary
Check pet food necessities
1 hour in current zone
Recycling together
Organize email folders (15 minutes)
27 fling (Flylady fun one – grab a bag and gather 27 items from your house that you need to throw or giveaway – size does not matter)
Evening routine

Friday:
Morning routine
Tidy and vacuum house
Clean out purse
Tidy inside of car
Clean laundry room/iron
Misc errands
Finish work in Zone of the week
Family night
Evening routine

Saturday:
Morning routine
Clean bedrooms
Clean upstairs bathrooms
Straighten mudroom
Spend time organizing one drawer/closet
Church snack/meal ready
Evening routine

Sunday:
Morning routine
Lord’s day
No chores except necessities
Menu planning for the week
Review family calendars together
Family time
Evening routine

This would be the next page in your binder.  so far your Homekeeping Binder has the following pages:

1. Morning routine
2. Evening routine
3. Weekly schedule
4. Daily schedule

I keep my pages in sheet protectors and this comes in handy when you get to the Zone pages.  You are able to mark off the list with a dry erase marker to see what you have accomplished without rewriting it every time.  I still use a family wall calendar and write out a daily to do list in the evening on an index card.  I list on my index card phone calls and errands along with daily chores.  Don’t forget to delegate and take the time to train your children in properly handling chores and daily schedules.  This is necessary in teaching them responsiblity and servant hood.  Your young girls can start their own homekeeping binder now that they will have to take with them when they leave to mangage their own homes.

Let me know your ideas for cleaning and how you manage your schedule.

    Thank you for sharing your schedule. Even though everyone’s will vary according to their family’s needs, seeing others gives us new ideas of what we might change on ours.

    Thank you, thank you, for taking the time to do posts on homemaking. I’m sure it will be an encouragement to many new and older (oops!!;-) moms. The other day I needed to find my dog’s rabies tag and my husband looked on in shock while (for once)I found it quickly…right in my binder. I am notorious for having difficulty finding paperwork.

What do you think of when you hear the word discer What do you think of when you hear the word discernment? The dictionary defines it as making a distinction between good and evil and truth and falsehood. As believers, we all desire to be discerning and wise in our choices. As we mature and grow in our knowledge of the scriptures, the hope is we will use that information to make choices in line with God's will.⁣
⁣
We become discerning people by not just knowing what to think but how to think. Being spiritually discerning is an ability to see the world the way God does. This comes about as we grow and mature spiritually into the likeness of Christ. It is about seeing “All That's Good.”⁣

“Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench i “Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench into our coping mechanisms. It brings us to the end of what we can control and forces us to cry out to God. God doesn’t waste our waiting. He uses it to conform us to the image of his Son.”⁣

As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding mysel As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it’s been a long one, and I don’t see an end near.  It has reminded me that when I gave myself to Him, I gave up my “right” to be in charge. The reality is we never were in charge anyway; we just came to that understanding when the Lord opened our eyes to His sovereign control over our lives.⁣
⁣
Even though it is a truth I know or we know, how many times do we want to think that somehow we can effect change in our life situations?⁣
⁣
Waiting is hard because there is no guarantee that my waiting will end in this lifetime. One thing I have learned – my waiting has deepened my trust in the Lord and has helped me to develop patience, perseverance, and endurance.⁣
⁣
It’s also given me different eyes to see with compassion others who are in a season of waiting.⁣

Six questions I have written in my Bible that have Six questions I have written in my Bible that have been a help to me over the years may be a help to you, too, to be prayerful and slow to speak. These are helpful questions not just in our friendships but in our marriages and with our children, and truly any of our relationships:⁣
⁣
1. Is this the time to say this?⁣
2. Am I the person to say this?⁣
3. Is it necessary?⁣
4. Is it true?⁣
5. Is it kind?⁣
6. Do I need to say this?⁣

Listen in to EP 140: Threats to Biblical Friendship at the link in my profile @thankfulhomemaker (click on the link under the blue arrows and then this image)
We all know that fostering true biblical friendshi We all know that fostering true biblical friendship isn’t easy – it takes work. Jesus told us in John 16:33 that we’re going to have trouble in this world, and trouble does touch all our lives in various areas, but this includes our friendships too.⁣
⁣
We’ll be hurt; we’ll be the ones hurting others; selfishness is a battle; jealousy and envy raise their ugly heads; we have our fears and insecurities, failed expectations, the damage our tongues do to one another, not appropriating the gospel and these all come from hearts that are still battling sin. ⁣
⁣
So when these threats to our friendship with one another in Christ come up, it shouldn’t surprise us that we have these issues, but what we need to keep at the forefront of our minds is how we respond and deal with them when they do come up. ⁣
⁣
I want to walk us through some of these threats, and this list I’m working with isn’t exhaustive – there are many more threats than what I am addressing today – but these are areas that stood out to me that have been a battle within some of my friendships over the years. Sadly, it is often the sin I’m battling in my heart, and I need to get my thinking, attitudes, and actions lined up with God’s Word.⁣

Listen in to EP 24: Dealing with Our Grumbling & Complaining at the link in my profile @thankfulhomemaker (click on the link under the blue arrows and then this image)
Why does it seem grumbling and complaining is so t Why does it seem grumbling and complaining is so tolerated within our Christianity? Sometimes I think we tolerate it because we don’t always think of it as a sin since it is so commonly practiced among us.⁣
⁣
We grumble about the weather, our government, our churches, our circumstances, and so many other things that truly are trivial in light of eternity.⁣
⁣
Our human nature tends to dwell on the negative more than the positive. Complaining is a spiritual problem and one I hope to tackle today and help guide us in the truth of the Word to spiritually defeat it.⁣
