Finish October Strong – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

     

This is the last day of October. Let’s finish the month strong. I do not have a specific zone for you to rescue today. I want you to look around your house and see where Hot Spots developed over the weekend. Set your timer for 15 minutes and take care of those Hot Spots. If your children have left things laying around, ask them to put their things away, too. It is much easier to bless your home when it is picked up every day.

The Habit of the Month for October has been to get rid of paper clutter. Spend 2 minutes today getting rid of paper clutter. You can do this!

Tomorrow, we will have new missions and a new habit to practice!

Zone Missions: Front Porch, Entryway, Dining Room
Monday – Clear those Hot Spots

Tuesday – Sweep the Front Porch

Wednesday –  Declutter the Entryway

Thursday – Declutter the Dining Room

Friday – Clean Under the Dining Room Table and Detail Dust in the Dining Room
