Girls, ya'll are doing GREAT! You're hanging in there and working toward creating some peace, beauty and order in your homes! I'm so proud of you.
I was away from the computer all day and I wasn't able to respond to your fantastic comments yesterday, but I was really struck by how many of us noticed "new" things we had not seen before. I loved seeing those comments about the importance of leaving open spaces in your schedule - it is because of those spaces that impromptu tea parties can be had, a batch of cookies can be made, a walk can be taken, a nap can be enjoyed. Beautiful things happen when there is margin!
Well, today is the day we get to plug in those tasks from Step 1, using Step 2 to figure out the best days and times to get them done. If things don't fit into a single week, why not consider a two-week schedule....or even one that stretches over a month?

What did you discover about creating a housekeeping schedule? Was it harder (or easier) than you thought? What do you think about a two-week or one-month schedule? I'd love your feedback...this is all going into an e-book and your input is important to me!
