Cleaning House...

The next 2 weeks the boys and I are dedicating our time to cleaning, organizing, and getting rid of whole lotta junk.  I have a friend who is collecting garage sale items to help raise money for a young woman, mother who has breast cancer.  So we have a mission...  I LOVE to donate than rather hassling with organizing a garage sale.  It's something so small that we can do to serve others.  After all, someone's junk is someone's treasure.

Things to do to get us motivating...

Have a plan set for each day ~ meaning delegate tasks to each person the night ahead.  Don't waste time planning a week in advance because things happen and this can cause frustration.

Always have an incentive for children at the end of a hard work day.  We like to have movie night or game night.

Plan a simple crock pot dinner

Always listen to encouraging music

Praise your children for helping

Happy cleaning!

  1. That is a great way of tackling the job! It's wonderful if you can do it to support someone else, like this young mom. I pray all will go well with her!

    This is one of the prettiest blogs I've ever seen. I love the font and the background. And it doesn't take too long to load, either.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Blessings,
