Declutter the Main Bathroom Tuesday – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

As you have been getting ready for the Holidays, I have given you missions to help you with the various zones in your home. This is to help you get your home decluttered, so you don’t have as much to clean. It will also help you when unexpected (or even expected) company arrives for you to have your rooms decluttered. All of this is to give you more peace in your life and reduce your stress. This week, we are working in the main bathroom and one extra room. You can do this however you want to do it, but I do want you to take 15 minutes to declutter the counters and drawers in your main bathroom. If you have cabinets, open them and pull out anything you don’t need. If you need to declutter in another room in your house to get ready for Thanksgiving or Christmas, set the timer for an additional 15 minutes and have a 27-Fling Boogie. Find 27 things you can throw away, put away, and keep. Make it a quick game!

Zone Mission: Tuesday – Work on your bathroom counters and drawers. Declutter in one other room if needed.

Holiday Mission: Work on your Christmas cards. Set your children up with a Christmas craft. If you don’t have an idea for them. How about giving them paper and markers and let them make a few Christmas cards for special people in your life?
