I love 'Little House in the Big Woods'. It's my favorite of the Laura books, and the pictures are just so sweet. I was thinking about my goal of slowing down and getting back to the basic stuff (instead of rushing though or skipping basic stuff in order to have time to do things that are less necessary or just of leisure or entertainment, most likely costing me money). I remembered Ma's saying: 
Wash on Monday
Iron on Tuesday
Mend on Wednesday
Churn on Thursday
Clean on Friday
Bake on Saturday
Rest on Sunday
While I can't realistically follow this schedule to the letter, I think it's a good idea. It can be so overwhelming to try to do a bit of everything everyday, and never finish or accomplish anything. I think I'd like to adapt this list to:
Wash and Clean on Monday
Iron and mow on Tuesday
Sew on Wednesday
Wash and Weed on Thursday
Bake on Friday
Projects on Saturday
Rest on Sunday
I also love how these things that Laura listed are what is to be done after the everyday things like dishes, airing the bed, feeding/ milking, etc.
I'll try it and see if I get more things done this way.

That is a really great idea. When I divide things up into a set schedule I tend to get more done, and I feel less guilty on the days that task is not scheduled. I'll be excited to hear how your schedule works.
