Happy Friday! Do you have plans for the Labor day weekend? We have a family picnic planned. You can plan one, too. You don’t even have to go anywhere. You can have a family picnic at home, or you can go somewhere. Our favorite place to go on a picnic is in the mountains of NC. It’s been a long, hot summer, and it is always refreshing to go up to a higher elevation and enjoy cooler temperatures and a mountain creek.
Today’s mission is up to you on what you need to do. Let’s declutter in the dining room. It does not have to be a big mission. Just set the timer and go in there quickly. If you don’t have a dining room, pick another room and do a 15-minute room rescue. I hope you are seeing that it is easier and faster to do these missions as you keep working your way around the house each month. If you keep things put away, and everyone puts things up as they use them, these missions will go faster and faster each month. !
