Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
We are going to spend some time detail cleaning in our kitchens this week. Each daily mission is designed to take you 15 minutes or less. If you have more time to devote to your cleaning, make sure you have done your Weekly Home Blessings and have the laundry caught up. These missions help you keep your home tidy in small amounts of time. Some of them will even take less than 15 minutes. If you have another area that needs immediate attention, set your timer and take care of it, too. I know that immediate needs sometimes pop up when you have children at home. Be sure you are including them in picking up behind themselves and teach them how to take care of their home. You are not doing them any favors by doing it all yourself. They need to know how to function in their own homes when they grow up and move out.
