A verse that I read tonight that made me think of you hardworking wise women.


Proverbs 31:25

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."

WOW....that is some AWESOME decluttering.

I got a BUNCH done too.

Sorry I remembered on Saturday when we were out that I hadn't posted this one as a full weekend challenge and I got home after the board closed.....but it looks like you girls were HARD at work anyway. WAY to go!

I updated the points.

[dylansmom]

I am enjoying blessing my home! And I am very motivated by points! (That's why I also joined SparkPeople!) That being said, I think my points may be off by 50 - I had 3235 and now I have 3945 (710points). However, I did 2 bathrooms (at 50pts. each = 100pts), 100pts for being nice to myself :) , 53 items at 10 points each = 530 pts., 10pts for Hot Spots, Laundry, and Sink (30pts) equally 760points all together.

Is that right?

Thanks for checking! :)
