O.F. (Organizational Friday)

Because who doesn't want to hear about organizing on a FRIDAY! Kick that To-Do list to the curb and just focus on what looks good...A Tidy House.

Tip #1: Come down ready. I DO NOT do this enough and I really, really want to work on it. Like, yesterday. Get up, brush those pearly whites, GET DRESSED, and come down ready. Your day will start with a bang if you don't dilly-dally in comfy clothes for the next 2 hours (like I always do). If you're a stay-at-home-hottie, it can be very exhausting to think about going back upstairs and getting dressed, but if you start out looking glam, you've got the day at your fingertips.

Tip #2: Get Thankful. Nothing says Day-Well-Done like doing something thoughtful for someone else. It can be simple. Short. To the point. Have the kids make Valentine's Day cards for grandparents. Text someone an early morning, "Hello, you're important and I love you", message. Surprise your husband with an old school love note. Make extra pancakes and walk them over to the neighbor. Whatever you do, you will surely go to bed and feel like your entire day was organized and "worth-it" because you did something nice for someone else.

Tip #3: Bathroom Sinks Bite. If your husband is anything like mine, one day goes by and it looks like a barbershop met an ocean wave on your bathroom counter. Shavings. Contact solution. Toothpaste gunk. It's everywhere! But don't get sassy over a little mess any more. Ta-da! LYSOL DISINFECTING WIPES. Put one of these containers under the sink and your man takes 10 seconds to wipe off the counter after his morning escapade. Ta-da! Your counters are sparkling and germ free and you both might love each other a little more. Did I mention that these qualify for free shipping on Amazon if you combine them with your other do-dads?!
