Watch Out Dust!

Top 10 ways I use my handy dandy dust buster, from the totally obvious to the more unique… In our home it seems like we need to dust constantly, likely a result of the fact that we live in an older home and have a gravel driveway.
Enter the dust buster. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!!

1) Clean up in front of the doors in our house, where we tend to track a little bit of the outside in
2) Sucking dust cling-ons from the ceiling and cabinet faces in my kitchen
3) Removing dust from the fans in our home
4) Cleaning out our floor vents (remove vent cover, eliminate dust bunnies and random silt as far as I can reach)
5) Removing sand off Sweetpea after she plays in her sandbox
6) Removing crumbs off the highchair after a meal
7) Removing everything from the floors before I mop
8) Clean refrigerator coils
9) Remove dust from blinds/lampshades
And my new personal favorite –
10) Removing flies and other bugs from the house! For flies, this has turned into a “catch and release” program…some other bugs don’t fare so well, but I always make an effort, at least.

Menu Plan Monday

Wow, I should adjust that title to say "Menu Plan Monday Night"! I was a bit of a slacker with menu planning with the long weekend and all. It occurred to me that I never say what anyone else is eating for breakfast or lunch...so I'm including that this week. Here's what I'm planning:

Breakfast: fiber bar and fruit with oatmeal for me, a fruit bar for Sweetpea, EmDee is simply a coffee guy in the morning.

Lunch: Salads for me along with tomatoes and cottage cheese. Ham Sandwiches with mayo and tomato for EmDee along with chips. Sweetpea gets lunch provided where she stays during the day.

Dinner:

Monday: BLTs and salad

Tuesday: Brats and Burgers with oven fries

Wednesday: Chicken Parmesan-ish (not standard, using grilled chicken) and garlic bread

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Grilled chicken salads

I am putting the finishing touches on the month long menu for September (yes, I'm a bit late AGAIN!) so next week I should be able to include more links since I won't be doing my menu plan at the last minute. For more menus, check out OrgJunkie!
