Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Welcome to a new month! We will start over on our zones this week, and we are back in Zone 1. It’s winter, and we should have all of our Christmas stuff put away. So while we are working in Zone 1 this week, let’s freshen up our decorations and declutter. The goal of decluttering is to bring peace to our homes, and by decorating, we are making it pretty, too.
Here are your Zone Missions for the week for
Zone 1 – The Front Porch, Entryway, and Dining Room
Monday – Sweep Front Porch & Declutter
Tuesday – Declutter Entryway and Decorate
Wednesday – Declutter Dining Table, put out a new tablecloth, and freshen up your centerpiece
Thursday – Declutter Your China Cabinet or Hutch
Friday – Declutter any Stash and Dash that is in your Dining Room
