Some things I need to do are:
sweep porches
sweep garage (or this could be a timed declutter)
declutter catch-all on top of fridge (not a hot spot, more of a collection place)
dust and wipe down baseboards and mouldings in living room
declutter magazines
wash out kitchen cupboards
pass along outgrown kids' clothes
return library books
organize files, etc in kitchen desk and office
water and dust plants (well, transplant some too...but that would be pulling me out of denial)

:heart
Thanks for all the challenges so far, my home is feeling much better!

I got my beds made and my sink shiny. Boy, it's hard to keep up with everything during this crazy holiday prep time. I am excited that I've been able to create some new habits, like having a shiny sink and keeping the laundry caught up. Thanks for these challenges.

Challenge #20 - Change those sheets. Especially for guests. Make sure you have enough for those extra beds, blankets, pillows (20pts) -I REALLY needed to get this done....AUGH....just didn't have time. I have had an upset tummy all day. Kids going crazy, getting hurt, DH working from home then going in, my mom took my oldest out Christmas shopping which meant more supervision of the middles from me. Crazy....day.....doesn't seem like anything got done. But they are fed, I clean out under the couch AGAIN....puffed rice, dried blueberries, clipping from homemade snowflakes & nerds got spilled on the couch....yes ALLLLLLL TODAY.....yucky mess.

Bonus #20 - Wrap some of those last minute presents, prep stockings, get those cards out (20pts) We finished up our Christmas lights on the TOP of the house.

Daily's

Declutter - 15 min - Floor off closets (10pts) I did this in 2 closets when I was searching for my 1 shoe and work paper. - DONE
HOTS SPOTS (10pts) BUNCH of these....they are exploding around my house with all the preparations going on.
Where's your Laundry (10pts) - 2 baskets full of clothes but CLEAN....lol
Shiny Sink - 10pts - not done....really not gonna get done tonight. I have too many other things to do.....maybe my mom will secretly bless me getting them done before I wake up.
