You are are inspiring me! I like the idea of mixing and matching plans! I struggle to keep up with working full time, taking care of a toddler, 2 dogs, 1 husband and a large house!
DH does most of the outside upkeep, maintenance,etc. but we have a large property too - 1.5 acres and he works more hours than I do so I try to pitch in when I can. Especially with weeding.
I feel like I would get more done if I could get to bed earlier and get up earlier. Our struggle is that DS's bedtime is 9P - which gives DH and I one whole hour to relax and just veg before a 10 PM bedtime.
DH can't sleep that early - or won't. I may just have to put my foot down and start going to bed earlier regardless.
Our house is structured such that I could get up early and work on quiet cleaning tasks on the lower level as well as laundry without waking anyone else.
I try not to let the bulk of the cleaning chores fall on the weekend if I can help it. I hate feeling like I worked all weekend on the house.
Will be watching for more ideas! Also have some tips/tricks to share when I get a few more minutes to come back!
