Monday Check-in

Hello my friends. I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was…well...clunky. Things just didn’t go smoothly, pretty much all the way around. Ah well, that's just how it goes sometimes. Right? So I hope you had a fabulous weekend that was smooth sailing. :) Here’s my update.  

 

Play List:

• Boot camp. Okay – that went great.

• Basketball.  Check. 

• Relax! Check (sort of.)

• Spend some time pinning! A big check here. I had quite a bit of time in the car this weekend driving to and from basketball games…so I was pinning on the go. I think that was probably the highlight of the weekend.

 

To Finish:

• Make a Target run.  Check. But one of the main things I needed to pick up was the Fels-Naptha for my laundry detergent. But Target doesn’t seem to carry this. So, on Sunday I went to Walmart (where I got it before) and they were totally out! Grr...so because of this , no check on this next task.

• Pinterest to-do:  Make more laundry detergent.  (Nope.)

• Start and finish a load or two of laundry. Check! Lots of basketball uniform washing. ;)

• Plan weekly meals. This didn’t happen. Today…it must…or some people I know will be going hungry this week.

• Wash and vacuum car. This was an add on. I did it yesterday after spending lots of hours in the car this weekend...it needed it badly. Boy how I love a clean car after a long, grimy winter. ;)

 

How did your weekend go? Hope it was great! See you back here on Friday for another round of Finish It Friday!

I came to your blog via Jen at I Heart Organizing. You're a new favorite!

If you haven't done your laundry soap yet, may I suggest using Zote instead of Fels Naptha. I found the Zote at Big Lots. It has a wonderful citrus smell. The Fels Naptha was a bit overpowering scent-wise to me.

I think that I've read that the Fels Naptha is better for tough stains, so if your family has a lot of that kind of clothes wear and tear (like sports uniforms!), maybe it would be the better choice.

I just love the Zote because I like the scent better (and it's pink!).

I use Fels-Naptha to wash off with in case of poison ivy contact and also on fabric stains. I've found it at grocery stores in addition to Walmart.
