While the kids home for a good three weeks on Christmas break, the house got trashed… There is stuff piled here, there, and everywhere, it is driving me crazy! Monday, I woke up extra early, and cleaned the living room. I got a big bag of clutter out of the house, just from one corner of the room. I was feeling pretty good about it, so I moved on to one of the kitchen cabinets. I got another full bag out, and now I’ve got a little more space to store paper towels. Both of those cleaning tasks were fast, and I’m going to keep it up throughout the house.

I’ve also cleaned out the closets. I cleaned out my closet, and all of the kids closets right before Christmas. I love the donation bins around town, they make it easy to donate unused and outgrown clothes.

Today, the kids were back to school, so I spent a lot of time just catching up on dishes and laundry. Next week, I hope to get a few larger cleaning projects accomplished.
