Happy Little Organized Cleaner

Ever since I had my beautiful baby boy I have not been able to get into a good routine. I work from home and I haven't been able to get much work accomplished because I'm taking care of my baby, attending to the needs of my animals (mostly my obsessive & needy cat Ginny), exercising, preparing meals/eating, and CLEANING! I actually like to clean, but everything takes me 10x longer to do now that I have my adorable little Joseph by my side :)

A couple weeks ago Corey found a 15 minute daily cleaning plan on Pinterest and sent it to me for me to implement. It looked overwhelming and I knew I couldn't just spend 15 minutes a day and have a clean house, or at least as clean as I want it. I didn't even try it out.

Then last week happened. Joseph got his shots on Monday and wanted to be held most of that day and also the next. (By the way, that was the hardest thing ever seeing his poor little sad face while he was getting those nasty immunization shots!) Wednesday he was starting to feel better and I was able to get some ironing done for Corey when all of the sudden around 5:00pm I got this horrible pain in my right breast. Not fun. As the night went on OH MY GOODNESS did it get worse! I was bawling by the end of the night curled up in a ball! Mastitis. Bummer! So from Wednesday night till Sunday I was in my pjs 90% or more of the day and didn't move from the couch hardly at all! AND THE CLEANING TO-DO LIST PILED UP SO FAST!

I decided that I now wanted to try that cleaning schedule thing because keeping up on it a little each day would keep it from piling up and might allow me to have some time to do some work! I looked up a couple different schedules on Pinterest to see plans and layouts that I liked and this is what I came up with... Can I just say first that I am so happy about it! It looks so pretty and today I spent only 30 minutes was done with my cleaning for today by 1:00pm!

I don't know how to attach a PDF link so here is what my list looks like:
