1. Dinner
As I’m writing this post, it is mid morning, and I already have my plan for dinner. It is already in the slow cooker on the lowest setting. Why do this? I have been married 19 years, and we have three kids. I learned years ago when my kids were younger that if I didn’t have a plan for dinner, my evening quickly became stressful.
My slow cooker has been my “go to” for this housekeeping task. I know I can put some meat and other ingredients in it, set it, and go about my day. This is not only a huge stress reliever for me at mealtime, but it also insures we aren’t tempted to eat out and spend needless money.
I love using the slow cooker because, often, our evenings during school seasons involve homework. If supper is already mostly done, I can give the kids the attention and help they need with their schoolwork.
2. Pet care
We have two cats and one dog at the moment. Pet care is largely the responsibility of my husband and I because our kids are young. I daily feed and water them.
My next housekeeping task I do daily for the pets is to scoop the litter box and add fresh litter as needed. I usually have to sweep around the litter box, also. This ensures our home stays smelling fresh.
For our litter pan, I empty it completely once a week and add fresh litter. You may to do this more or less often depending on your pets. I also have a puppy pad that I replace daily or as the dog uses it.
3. Coffee
Mmmm. Coffee. My husband and I love our coffee every morning. I automate this process because no one in my house is a morning person. We are early risers because of my husband’s job and my task of getting the kids off to school. It works best for us if I set the coffee pot the night before.
In the morning, we have fresh coffee, ready to consume, without any added morning effort. Our particular coffee pot has a clock and timer so we can set it the night before to start brewing when we wake. If you’re a coffee drinker like us, you can probably relate to how pleasant it is to awake to the beautiful aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
So, these are the three areas of daily housekeeping tasks for today. In the next post, we will unveil a few more daily tasks that will help your life run smoother and your home stay cleaner.
