Today I:
Made bed.
Wiped bathrooms twice. Once this afternoon because people were coming over, and I had been a brat last night. Second time just now to count for tomorrow. Amazingly, even though it was only about 5 hours between, they needed it.
Cleaned kitchen.
Swept kitchen.
Did very thorough walk through looking for clutter and sweeping where needed.
Checked bathrooms for clutter.

Life lessons in the midst of everyday situations. About a week ago, my 7 year old son mentioned that he’s not a good runner. He had gone to a cross-country […]

Did a few loads of laundry, did not put away though. Checked bathrooms for clutter. Did 5 minute walk-through of house. Wiped down bathroom counters and toilets last […]
Read More1share 0 0 1Ugh. I can’t believe I’m just now writing this. I’m so tired that I just checked my own blog to see if maybe I had already posted this but forgot. I hadn’t. Today I: Made bed. Cleaned kitchen. Swept kitchen. Checked bathrooms for clutter. Did walk through of house. As of this […]
Read More2shares 1 0 1I try to make this clear pretty often. Although the most prominent areas of our home are doing pretty well since I started this process, the peripheral areas, such as the bedrooms, closets, pantries, cabinets, and any and every drawer are still incredibly scary. We’ve been having Sunday night home groups meet […]
