How does your fridge look by the end of the week? I do most of my grocery shopping on the weekends. There’s more time, we can hit the supermarket while many are still eating breakfast and how wonderful is it to re-stock the fridge.

2017 is only 49 days away from today and like many, I’m making the remainder of 2016 count. Unfortunately, little trivial things do get in the way. Cleaning tops that list for me!
I was laughing so hard when I then watch Modern Family this weekend. Claire, one of the characters, was getting ready to start a new job and enlisted her entire family of 5 to clean their house. It was funny to watch them struggle like so many other families, mine included.
Some folks find cleaning relaxing. Not me, until I set up a cleaning routine. Here are some tips for setting up your own cleaning schedule:

The Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers (APDO) is running a 3rd annual National Organising Week (NOW) asking: Why delay letting go of those possessions which are cluttering your home and impacting on your precious living space? Declutter NOW.
So from 7th-13th November, APDO is launching a mission to encourage UK households to tackle those niggling tasks. We at Organised Life and Mind decided to take it further and also move NOW to this region!
