Welcoming Week – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

 

How does the front porch and entrance into your home look? What about the dining room and living room? Today, I want you to go into each of these areas and spend 5 minutes taking care of hot spots and any clutter that has found its way back into these areas. Once you have them you like you want them, strive to teach each person in the house to pick up behind themselves. These areas can stay clutter free with minimal time spent if everyone puts their stuff away instead of dropping it when they come into the house. I hope you enjoyed the pictures this week. I tried to find photos that would encourage you to make your home inviting.

 

Have a great week-end!
If you have any questions or tips, please email me. I enjoy hearing from my readers.
Zone Mission: Zones 5 and 1 – Spend 5 minutes in each area from this week and make any last changes to invoke a feeling of peace and welcoming.
