My Weekend Cleaning Round Up

While Carl spent almost his entire weekend working on the nursery (which is coming along quite nicely if I do say so myself...pics to come soon), I put my time in in the kitchen reminding it who is the boss around here. I knew it was dirty, but definitely didn't realize how dirty, ew. When Carl finally came back downstairs, I knew he was in the kitchen because he said "Oh my gosh." Yeah, it was that dirty before.

Nothing was left untouched:

• Cleaned all cupboard exteriors
• Cleaned all appliance exteriors
• Wiped all baseboards- omg ew.
• Removed all items from counters, purged, organized cleaned and replaced necessary cleaned items
• Swapped out dirty dish towels
• Cleaned sink including garbage disposal
• Cleaned window and sill

It's days like that I am so glad I don't have a huge kitchen. It's not big, but it's totally functional for us, and when it's dirty I wish it was even smaller! (Ok not really. Please don't tell the kitchen fairy to make my kitchen smaller tonight. I would cry.)

The rest of the weekend was spent doing various things but included:

• Dusting living, dining and family rooms
• Started on fall decor (pics to come once it's done)
• Potting the mums we bought
• Making lunch (Chicken Caesar Salad, Fruit Salad and Apple Cake) for the moms while we talked all things baby shower
• Loaded and emptied the dishwasher 8 billion times
  

Things I still have on my list this week:

• Organize the pantry (just needs some tidying)
• Finish the fall decor
• Clean the laundry room
• Laundry- do, fold, put away

I cannot tell you how very thankful I am to have energy again. I'm just really nervous with all the third trimester stories going around. Yikes.

Dear Zombie Baby,

I'll give you lots of nutrients. Please just let me keep a good portion of the energy. Thanks!

Love,
Mom

You TOTALLY want to go clean your kitchen now, don't you? ;)
