Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
As I have been traveling to homeschool conventions the past two weeks, I am struck by my little routines keeping us organized and moving along. I have stayed in a couple of different hotels in different states, and I have stayed with family in between the convention weekends. Three of my boys have been with me. To say that we have traveled with a lot of stuff is an understatement.
When we need to pick up, each of us takes an area, and we can be done in 15 minutes. When we shower, we put our dirty clothes in a bag. When I was able to wash our clothes mid-way through the trip, it was so easy. We worked as a team throughout the process, and it was not overwhelming.
We used the designated bags for trash in our hotel rooms. The maid service was able to come in and out of our room easily to replace towels and washcloths and collect the trash.
We were able to pack up fairly quickly because of the way we each kept our suitcases orderly.
This makes me thankful for the routines we have established at home. They carry over to our travels, too. This has been a working trip, but we have enjoyed it and had fun. It is because we just use the small steps we have learned from The FlyLady, and these small steps have become habits. (Just ask my boys if I can walk away from a sink and not dry it down to make it shine.)
Your Zone Mission today is to declutter for 15 minutes in Zone 1 – The Front Porch, Entryway, and Dining Room.
Your Home Blessing for today is to wash sheets.
My menu plan for Monday is hamburgers and a salad.
Have a great day!
