Today is Thursday, April 22 (Earth day, appropriately enough), and I've gotten off to a good start this week. In three days, I've cleaned and organized the coat closet, living room, dining room, and both of our bathrooms and closets. Although it is nice to have them clean and organized once again, the biggest accomplishment is what I've removed from those rooms. I've filled three trash bags with items that are either not used, out of date, or irrelevant to our family. I've also filled 5 boxes with items to go into our upcoming family garage sale.
For the remainder of this week, I hope to make the same impact on the kitchen and master bedroom. Next week will be dedicated to the children's rooms, play room, and laundry room. Seth will take on the office. My goal is to be finished by the end of next week.
Although this project is very tiring and time-consuming, it is one that we hope will prove to be life-changing for our family. We also hope that the resulting changes we make in our way of life will make our transition into homeschooling our children one that will just build upon the foundation we are laying out now.
Please keep our family in your prayers if you happen to think of us...we've got quite a few changes taking place, and need the Lord's guidance in all of them.
Have a great day!
On this mop, the microfiber pad comes off, just like the Swiffer...but instead of throwing it away, you throw it in the washer and use it over and over. And...you also don't have to buy a high-priced bottle of cleaner...I use Pine Sol just because I love the smell. Use whatever suits your needs best.
