Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Welcome to a new week! We are going to have our missions in the master bedroom this week, but if you have children at home, I want you to use these missions with them, too. My teenagers got a jump start on their rooms on Friday. We will just say they unpacked fro our trip in a very creative way. (sigh) But all is well now, and they are starting the week off on the right foot. Our bedrooms can be a catch-all for stuff that does not have a home. This week, I want you to find homes for that stuff or give it away. If you have a stack of magazines or books, you might need to purge some of them. If you have clothes in a pile, sort through them. Give away what does not fit. Be ruthless in decluttering your bedroom. You want this to be the most peaceful room in your home. Bless yourself this week with a clean bedroom!
