Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Today’s mission is a favorite of one of my sons. Today, we are going sofa diving. It’s time to clean out the sofa. Take off the cushions. Pull out the stuff that has fallen between the cushions, and once you have the big stuff out, use the vacuum cleaner to detail clean. Whoever does the sofa diving in my house gets to keep any money that is found. This is a fun incentive.
Zone Mission – Go sofa diving
Today is the first day of the Teach Them Diligently Homeschool Conference in Atlanta, GA. It is a joy to be at the conference for the next three days. I will be speaking, and I will be at The FlyLady’s booth to talk to homeschoolers. If you are in the area, come on out.
