Teaching Your Children to Bless Their Homes

Getting Organized:
In your Home and Homeschool 
 
Dear Friends,
Is your kitchen shining today? This week’s zone missions were designed to help you spend just a few minutes a day decluttering and shining your kitchen. If you did not do them all, it’s okay. Give yourself a pat on the back for what you did get done.
This week was a busy week for me, and I did my zone missions right after dinner each night. That is just where it fit in my day, and it was easy to do them as we all pitched in to clean the kitchen after dinner.
Your homeschool schedule might be very full during the day, so that is why I like to share with you how I get my zone missions done when I have a busy week.
My Home Blessings are done during my morning routine each day as the boys are getting started on school work. On Fridays, they help with the floors. It takes time to figure out where things fit, but it is well worth it when it becomes a routine.
Teaching your children habits will go with them as they grow up, so don’t be afraid to include them in blessing your home. Teach them to pick up behind themselves. Make it fun to fold laundry with your children. Give them small cloths to dust when you are dusting or cleaning the windows.
When you finish a meal, teach your children to clear their place at the table. They can scrape their plates, rinse their dishes, and put them in the dishwasher. If you hand-wash, they can help with that as long as you are careful with glass and knives.
Swish and swipe in the bathroom is another way to teach your children to bless their homes. Keep your supplies handy for a quick swipe and a quick swish. It does not have to be perfect. It’s better to do it imperfectly than to not do it at all.
Use a simple sorting process for the laundry and show everyone in the house how it is sorted when they take their clothes off.
Simple routines shared among all of the family members makes it easy to bless yourself with a clean and peaceful home.
Send me pictures of your progress this week in zone 2!
