Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Hello! How was your weekend? We had a lovely weekend celebrating the 75th anniversary of our church. This week we are going to detail clean in our bedrooms for 15 minutes each day. When you are working in your bedroom, you can give similar activities to your children for them to do in their rooms. By working a little bit each month, you will be able to maintain your bedroom without spend hours on it once in a while. Declutter shoes and clothes. Get rid of things that are piled on your flat surfaces or on the chair in your room. Little steps done consistently will help you have peace in your home.
Zone Missions: Master Bedroom (Kids’ Rooms)
Monday – Declutter Flat Surfaces & Dust
Tuesday – Declutter Closet
Wednesday – Declutter Dresser Drawers
Thursday – Declutter Shoes
Friday – Clean Under the Bed
