Introducing the New Clean House Calendar Planner

 Good Morning!  

My name is Britia, it's pronounced like the water filter.
I live in southwest Missouri with my husband of 25 years.  We have one college-aged daughter and a sassy yellow lab.  I'm a retired middle school math teacher, a beginning gardener, and I'm recovering from breast cancer.  Finally, I'm kind of a neat nick but, confession time, I have messy closets and cabinets. 

As a new mom, I struggled with caring for my daughter and managing our home and I realized I needed a plan to get my housework done, food on the table, and care for myself and my family.  I did a little research and came across FlyLady.  She had a simple plan I thought I could follow.  As I worked through her plan I realized I needed to tweak it a bit to better meet my needs.  As the years went on I tweaked, then I tweaked some more, then I tweaked a little more and finally, I created The Clean House Calendar, a planner to get my home clean and organized.

I started this blog several years ago to share The Clean House Calendar with you.  Over the years I have created a few different versions, the daily planner, the weekly calendar, and the monthly calendar.  Then I discovered the Happy Planner.  I fell in love at first sight, a planner I could decorate with fun stickers!  I bought all the things and I decorated my planner.  And there it sat.  It was so pretty.  It was so pretty I couldn't bring myself to write in it.  I tried week after week but it just didn't work for me.  So I decided to tweak The Clean House Calendar to work with the Happy Planner system.  After several tries and inspiration from the Passionate Penny Pincher, I finally created a version of The Clean House Calendar that works with the Happy Planner System and I actually use.

Today, I'm sharing it with you!  Click here for The Clean House Calendar - July thru December 2022.
