Today was one of those perfect days to stay home and get stuff done. It was grey and overcast with a cool breeze. Friday is my day to get everything on my to do list done to get ready for the weekend. Since this is a 3 day weekend for the kids, I didn’t want to have to be finishing up anything, taking away my time to spend with them and the hubs.

My fuel for the day.

Oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins is one of my very favorite breakfasts. It’s a stick to your ribs kind of meal. Also perfect for gloomy gray days.

My OOTD. Baggy pajama bottoms, oversized sweat shirt and slippers. I’m not leaving the house, so it works for me. Complete with chip clip peacock hair.

Do you make lists? I live by lists. For everything. I make a pretty big to do list on Mondays and Fridays. This one was a little ambitious. Seriously wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to get it all done.

There was this for every room.

Washed all the family room couch cushion covers. I also washed all of the throw pillows that could be washed and hand washed the ones that couldn’t. This is an ikea olive denim couch. The covers wash up perfectly in the washing machine. Just make sure to get them out of the dryer before they are completely dry because it’s so much easier to get them on. I’ve always washed all of my couch cushion covers. If they can be removed I wash them. They’ve always come out just fine.

You might not be able to tell from this picture, but it is SO much cleaner. Plus I got to fluff up the back pillows so they aren’t floppy.

Woo Hoo! Everything got done and nothing feels better than drawing that line.

I love a clean, smelling good home. Doesn’t it just feel good to cross everything off, be it at your office job or house job. It just feels good.

Now, I’m going to fix dinner and get ready to watch Live PD with Donny tonight. We are party animals over here. We might even throw in a game of Taboo.

Happy Friday,

Stacy
