Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
This week we are in the main bathroom and one extra room for our detail cleaning. What area in your house bothers you the most? Use this week to focus cleaning in it for 15 minutes each day. Because I do my daily swish and swipe in the bathroom and clean the tub/shower daily, I don’t have a lot of detail work to do in there. I am able to focus in other places. For homeschool moms, it is harder to work in the basement, garage, or home office during the school year. Use this week to work in one of those areas. Get out your boxes or bags to put things to donate. Get a big tash bag ready for trash. Then purge, purge, purge. If you have less stuff and clutter, you will have less to keep clean. I know you can do this!
