Dang, Tara… will you come to my house? Just the very first thing on your list sounds so luxurious to me right now (a clean living room floor every day). I just had to go out and buy new vacuum belts so that I could vacuum ours. While I was at it, I bought some extra vacuum bags and realized what an embarrassingly long time it’s been since I had to buy a new stash… Why am I admitting this to the world?
Good luck with your resolution! I’m hoping your success will inspire me.

We do the same thing. I assign a different chore for everyday of the week. Great tackle.
