Yes, there will be a Saturday task & then Sunday is a family-time task :tu

Ours too, on the weekend. We usually (lovingly) kick them out of our room & tell them to go play toys in their bedroom for a few minutes so we can rest for *just* a little longer before getting out of bed :giggle

Can we switch those around if we want when the time come?

The declutering in our bedroom, like clearing our dresser or floor, can count for decluttering, right? I can't even get to any surfaces to dust right now. :bag We are never in our bedroom.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. If you see some things that obviously don't belong - move them out; Pull out any empty hangers & take them to your laundry area. Little things like that.

I was thinking of doing closets (for any or all of your bedrooms) on our declutter day next week :yes Everyone has different levels of chaos in their master or secondary closets, so I think leaving it open-ended like that will suit most people.

I don't know what my problem was yesterday, but I feel more *up to* this today. The only problem is, I've been so focused on these things this week that other things on my to-do list have gotten neglected! :/

I was going to ask if we get the weekend off...we have to do weekend challenges too?! :P

[Blue Savannah]

Is the bonus is we did all the challenges/bonuses, or if we just participated all week?


And is today's challenge for our own bedroom, or are we supposed to do all the bedrooms?

Is the bonus is we did all the challenges/bonuses, or if we just participated all week?
And is today's challenge for our own bedroom, or are we supposed to do all the bedrooms?


YES, Everyone who plays today gets the 200pts Bonus :grouphug
This is just a challenge for the master bedroom today.

[Anani]

Dont know how much I can get done today with it being Halloween Excitement around here.


AND I have my niece who is 13 working on her costume with my help.

But I will update this post if I earn any points.

[charla]

Please, somebody tell me about this lavender water you are spritzing on you beds. I have lavender essential oil. Can I make some? It sounds lovely.

[knitlove]

well thus far I have done my devotional and taken a nap, and my brother is showing up in about 3 hours this is not looking good, it is definitly one of the if I have enough energy days. :/

[Aisling]

I actually found it really easy after the laundry challenge, because our main bedroom messes are due to it being laundry central station! :giggle All I really had to do was the closet, some sorting through big rubbermaids for clothes that could be culled, moving those into the closet, bed, and dusting/vacuuming. :cool

(heh, that sounds like a lot all written out, doesn't it! :haha but it only took about an hour)

Lavender water: Just a few drops of Lavender EO in an empty spray bottle! :cool

masterbedroom "woes". That is where S sleeps, so my best work time is unworkable. :lol I have gotten quite a bit done, however, but I don't know if I will finish this challenge today or not. Esp since I have to vacuum with her in my arms. I was able to do some of the vacuuming in the family room while she slept. She doesn't like the vacuum noise.

I did not get to a lot of what I wanted to do with my whole heart, but I did get some things done. Doing a whole room is very overwhelming to me. I liked how Monday, it said "Counters", even though I wound up doing more, it gave me a good focus area. Lists make my head explode.

Need to dust one dresser still.
Clean mirror(s)- still need to do.
Clean floor- I even moved the furniture. I found so much stuff under my dresser, including my favorite foot lotion. I am not calling it done because I have to do one window and I need DH's help for that one because I cannot get to it.
I will finish either tonight or tomorrow and repost my total.
The room is still a mess, because DH's dresser tops are covered with stuff, but those are his, so I can't really do anything about it. It is mostly papers/receipts/don't know what- his stuff. He has his messy areas, too. Not just me. But the room is way better than when I started this week.

Okay--I didn't get to do anything yesterday because I had to go into the office and clean there :shifty Had to reorganize an entire storage room and then rearrange the entire office :sigh It was exhausting--and I got home late and didn't get the challenge done :(

Sooooo today I went through and cleaned the floors (moving things--under things--serious cleaning) in the dining room and living room. I rearranged EVERYTHING for our holiday decorations :D Even rolled back the rug in the LR and cleaned the floor underneath :phew

I was going to do the bedroom and the little hall and the bathroom floors but I was exhausted :/ Literally couldn't move another inch :shifty So I don't know how to tally that :blush

[DragonfliiMama]

I am a bit annoyed at myself today. I spent all my energy out running errands and then came home and crashed on the couch before going to hang out with friends this evening. So now I am up way too late finishing my list for today and I still didn't get to the kitchen. Maybe next week. I wonder when my days off are next week? Also, the first "errand" I wanted to do was to take my devotions to a park since the weather was unseasonably warm today (60's in WI). I was all settled in for about 5 min before getting swarmed by Asian beetles. :sigh Anyway, here's my points tally for today and maybe I will do some devotions before turning the lights out.

laundry - 1 complete load = 20 pts
dishes - shiny sink = 20 pts
5 min challenge - i did get a couple bits in before heading out this afternoon - 50 pts
bedroom - 200 pts
bonus - 200 pts- can i count this if I didn't get the kitchen done? That was the day before I joined the challenge.
devotions - 100 pts

so either 390 or 590 pts

Cobwebs
Vacuum/dust window coverings
Dust furniture/Vacuum upholstered furniture
Clean mirror(s)
Clean floor
If you didn't change your sheets on Wednesday, do that today
Freshen your bed with a spritz of lavender-water or use your favorite linen spray
Turn off the alarm clock so you can sleep until the kids wake you up heart

Again, this is a good time to do some de-cluttering of your dresser-tops, or even inside your closet, if you dare! It's also nice if you can take 5 minutes to straighten-up the contents of your dresser drawers - don't pull it all out & refold it, just tidy the piles.

Going to try to do this this weekend.

BONUS: 200pts for sticking with us through this whole week kiss

Well, I didn't do the Challenges for Thursday & Friday, so I don't know if I get the bonus or not... But I'm not giving up yet!
