Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Welcome to a new week and a new Zone. This week we are working in our kitchens. The kitchen is the heart of your home. If it is cluttered, it is going to be hard to prepare meals. It is also harder to keep track of what you have and what you need. So let’s work daily to get rid of clutter in our kitchens.
Here are your Zone Missions for the week for
this week’s zone: Zone 2 – The Kitchen
Monday – Clean off the Counters and Wipe Them Down
Tuesday – Clean Out Your Toaster
Wednesday – Declutter 1 Kitchen Cabinet
Thursday – Declutter 1 Kitchen Drawer
Friday – Wipe Down Microwave and Stovetop
I still have 3 homeschool conferences on my schedule this spring. I will be in Atlanta, GA; Sandusky, OH, and Winston-Salem, NC.
