Declutter Your Way to Peace – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Have you been working with your children on picking up behind themselves? I mentioned it last Tuesday in my post, and it really helps the look of your home, if everyone pitches in to pick up behind themselves and helps with blessing the home. Today, we are decluttering in the main bathroom. Set your timer for 15 minutes, and declutter stuff on the counter or in the cabinet or drawer. Getting rid of clutter will bring you peace. You will enjoy having a clean and decluttered bathroom. If you do not clean your tub/shower weekly, then do a quick cleaning of that area, too. I don’t have to detail clean my tub or shower walls because I wipe them down daily after my shower. I use a purple cloth from The FlyLady and wipe it down. It keeps the soap scum from building up and the hard water stains from appearing. I also have iron in my water, and a daily wipe keeps the staining at bay. A clean and tidy bathroom makes me happy.

Have a wonderful day!
