Involving the Kids in Decluttering – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

Today I want you to involve your children in your zone mission. I want you to declutter one kitchen cabinet today. Pick one that is low and have your children help dig out that stuff that has gone all the way to the back. Decide on what items you really need, and what can be donated. If it’s been back in the far back of the cabinet, you probably have not used it in a while. Start making room now for any new items you might get this Holiday season. I know I am watching for a great deal on an InstaPot on Black Friday. I need to make room for it now.

Start thinking about how you want to gear your lesson plans between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I try to do some community service projects this time of the year, so I will be looking for an activity for us to participate in soon.

Have you worked on a menu plan yet? Spend a few minutes jotting down some menu ideas on your calendar. Keep it simple!

Have a great day!
