Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
This week can choose to declutter an area in our home that does not fall into our regular zone list, or it can be an area that you have procrastinated decluttering. Getting rid of clutter will set you free. It helps you to bless your home when you don’t have clutter everywhere. You have a more peaceful home when you are not always looking at clutter. It takes away guilt when you have procrastinated something. Just spend 15 minutes and declutter one area in your home. Stay focused. Don’t get sidetracked. You can do this! Set your timer and start tossing!
Enjoy your day!
