{The List Maker}

Most of you who know me know that I love to make lists. I enjoy crossing items off as I complete them. I make a list for everything. I recently just updated my weekly and weekend cleaning checklist and I thought I'd share it with you. It really helps me remember what needs to be done every week and also keeps me on track. I typically print it out and set it on the counter as a reminder to get moving. Its better to print the list on a thicker card stock paper so it lasts the entire week. I also use a highlighter to cross tasks off the list as I complete them. Obviously this list is for my home, but you get the idea.

{master grocery list}
I also have a list for groceries that I need to buy. I got tired of making a list every time I went to the store. So I found a master grocery list on http://www.freeprintable.net/ that I print off, post on my fridge, and then cross items off as I need. (go to their website and then type in master grocery list in the search box) I found that not only do I get everything in one trip that I need, I also can find coupons in advance, and save a lot more money. You can go to their site and post off a ton of different lists. This one I saved to my computer and edited it to match what kind of foods we buy. Check it out. Its super helpful and a timesaver.
I was worried about posting my lists because you all would know what a cleaning Nazi I am....but oh well. That's just me :)

Your link to your list doesn't work :( I would love to see them!

By the way I am almost done with week 3 of P90X and I am seeing major results. I am trying to really focus on nutrition now that my activity level is where I want it to be. One step at a time, slow and steady wins the race. I hope you are doing well and finding ways to keep healthy :)

Keep up the good work. I am eating healthy and trying to workout daily. Its not easy when you work 40 hours a week!

I'm a list maker as well it seems to be the only way to get anything done when you've got babies. :~) Thanks for following my blog. That made my day! Making time for me hasn't been on that list in years but needs to be. I have to lose at least 40 lbs. Will it happen? Only if I set my mind to it. You are beautiful! :~)
