15 Things I do Everyday
Are there silly things you find yourself doing everyday? Of course, there is the normal run around and errands we always have to do to follow a schedule, but I mean things outside of your schedule that you’ve caught yourself doing. I stopped to think about that this week, and came up with a list of 15 things I catch myself doing every day! Keep in mind, these are in no particular order. Here they are:
I received compensation for this post. All opinions are my own.
15 Things I do Everyday
- Visit Hulu to check for any new show episodes – We don’t have cable, so I never can remember which days my favorite shows air. Among my favorites are Blacklist, The Bachelor, and Shark Tank.
- Check my bank account – I don’t really need to check my account everyday since my bills are scheduled for two draft dates a month, but it’s still a habit.
- Gulp down a tall glass of water every morning – Mornings are always hectic running around getting the kids up and ready for school and out the door. I don’t have time to eat breakfast during the charade, so I down a cup of water and eat breakfast after school drop-offs.
- Check social media – I’ll admit, I’m addicted to Facebook. I’m in a lot of different Facebook groups, which means lots of conversations to read and family updates to check all day long. I check a bunch of the other social channels, too.
- Pick up the kids toys – This chore never ends. I swear, I just picked up all the hot wheels cars, and 5 minutes later they are spread to every edge of the family room.
- Call my mom – Even if I have nothing much to say, a call to say a quick hello!
- Hit snooze on my alarm – Another 5 minutes of sleep… please!!
- Clear off the kitchen counter – This one feels like a constant, too. As soon as I get everything put all away, someone is hungry or comes in with a pile of papers and the clutter amounts all over again.
- Kiss my husband – It may be a rushed, quick kiss on our busy days, but at least we sneak at least one kiss in a day.
- Hug my children – My 4 year old assures this happens daily. He bombards us all with hugs!
- Look in the fridge for a snack and come out empty handed – I still have this horrible habit from being a teen. Not sure why I seem to turn blind every time the fridge door opens.
- Play a level or two of Plants vs. Zombies – Admittedly, this is my favorite game app.
- Log my son’s blood sugar levels and carbs – This is an important, and frequent, part of my day to keep my son’s Type 1 diabetes numbers in check.
- Visit Google Analytics to check blog stats – I’m always really intrigued to see where people are finding my blog and what posts interest my readers.
- Say a prayer – This is the best way to pour out my thoughts, frustrations, and fears.. or just bless the meal!
With all the things I do everyday, there are somethings I absolutely avoid doing at all costs. While I probably should clean our bathroom toilets each day, I avoid bathroom cleaning duty like the plague! Thankfully, there are tools that can help keep the toilet bowl clean in-between cleanings!
We’ve just started using Lysol’s new Click gel™ Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner. It applies right to the inside of the toilet bowl with a really unique applicator. Just push the handle in until all the gel is removed from the applicator, pressing against the inside of the toilet bowl. Toss away the applicator and your the gel will dispense with each flush, giving you a cleaner and fresher bowl between those deep cleanings. Each box comes with a full 1-month supply including (4) 1 week application gels. Just once a week, and your done!
It’s so very true! The last thing this busy mom wants to do is clean the toilet. This is great!
I have a daily routine. It involves a few of the things from your list. But I have to keep to my routine or things don’t get done!
I think as a mom we are always doing these things. Those Lysol cleaners are a life saver for me because I hate cleaning those toilets!
My lists would be somewhat similar but a few are different. And I use Lysol daily! Love that stuff!
I love Lysol! We are constantly using their products.
I find myself doing most of these things every day! I know I am constantly going to the fridge and coming back empty handed LOL!
I get some kind of activity in, brush my teeth, shower, email, and lots of things that you do too. Funny how we are so repetitive in our lives!
I really like the Lysol Click Gel. I’ve used it, and it works great. As for things I do every day, well…I have to brush my daughter’s hair 2x a day, because if I don’t it become a rat’s nest. I also am on the computer either checking emails or doing social media for work.
I check my blog stats everyday. I have little routines i tend to stick to.
I check into Facebook every day, and I always check my email. Plus lots of hugs and kisses to my kids.
It’s interesting to think about all the random things and not so random things we do every day. That click gel looks like such a time saver!
I always make my daughter’s lunch and then have my coffee. I always check my GA stats as I am obsessed with that! I hate to clean the toilet, so these would be a welcome item in my bathroom!
I do a lot of these things too. I’m not a fan of cleaning the bathroom every day. These would help a lot!
This product would be so much easier. I often put off cleaning more than I should. At least with this it can clean the toilet for you.
I check the fridge too! Like someone else did the shopping and there is a surprise snack in there! I am addicted to Instagram!
I am cracking up reading this because I do these things every day as well. Especially the whole checking the bank account thing.
I pick up after my kids several times a day. I have three fur babies, so it can be toys or other… less cute… thing.
Most of my steps involve lots and lots of cleaning and re-cleaning.
The following of course is not in order of importance..really…
I recently discovered that I can’t do without a cup of coffee or a cup of lipton tea each and every day. It was stunning to find out how grumpy I can be if I start out the day without a couple of sips. Definitely to be avoided. I also always tell my boys I love them as I drop them off at school and make a point of kissing my husband each morning before I leave for work. Also high on the list is checking our bank account- just being diligent to avoid bad memories from when I was in college with little money. Finally checking my blog,facebook and social media posts.
I check my bank account every day too. It is a must for me. I also enjoy preparing snacks for the kids, exercise, checking emails, blogs, and spending some me time for myself.
