house style: Sundays

Sundays are our day to go to church and have a family lunch together and then divide and conquer the household chores. They vary somewhat but two things remain on my Sunday To Do List each week:

Meal planning for the week followed by grocery shopping and laundry!!

I posted about the topic here, but WHEN I actually plan meals for the week, make a grocery list and clean out my fridge on Sundays, it not only makes for a stress-free week it definitely saves time and money.

I love these "Market List" pads from Sugar Paper, a precious paper company based in LA with a great on-line shop. And how cute are their "To Do" lists and desk calendars? These would also make perfect hostess gifts (tune in tomorrow for more hostess gift ideas).

And doing laundry, though not my favorite task, is made much more enjoyable with Mrs. Myers Clean Day Aromatherapeutic Household Cleaning Products. They smell wonderful and are all phosphate-free. I love their Baby Blossom line for Janie's things because they are so gentle (and I found a huge supply of them at TJ Maxx). Right now they're offering $5 off of their laundry sets.
