Holiday Grand Plan: Week 1

I like to spend Sundays setting up my plans for the coming week.  I had started to make changes to my usual plan for the first week of the Holiday Grand Plan.  Click here to go to the official information for week 1 with printables.  Week one is List Week, and the cleaning area is the front porch.  I have a front porch, and it definitely needs cleaning.  The problem is the weather.  Yesterday morning the forecast for my area included a 60%-70% chance of rain.  By the time I got home from church it was down to 30%-50%.  I am going to list my plans including cleaning the porch.  If the weather turns wet, I will postpone the porch until later.

Cleaning - Front Porch:  I am only cleaning rather than buying anything new since we are focused on saving for the new house.
