Happy Weekend, Ladies :kiss

For the weekend, let's try to keep up with the dailies and, if you have the motivation and desire, one project (whether that is cleaning a specific room or working on a major decluttering in a particular place in your home). But, it is the weekend, and for a mama, that usually doesn't mean much of a change in what happens in the household.

So, keep up with the dailies and treat yourself to some down time - alone, with your husband and with your kids.

Daily Activities:
5 minute challenge participation
dishes (at least some)
laundry (at least some)
Your new habit
Return 10 things to their appropriate homes, enlist your kids' help as appropriate.
10 Minute kitchen recovery
Clutter Busters
Two Do List

Challenge One:

Rest. Pray. Show yourself some grace and some pampering. Make a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate and drink the WHOLE cup without getting up to do something UNTIL you are finished :)

Spend time alone.

Spend time with your husband.

Spend time with the whole family.

Bonus challenge:

If you feel motivated and up to it, pick one weekend project - maybe it's one room that you want to give some attention to; maybe it's a clutter buster / decluttering project; maybe it's an organizing project.

Whatever you choose, do this in reasonable time segments. Set your timer or play a few specific songs; but give yourself the freedom to walk away and focus on the three parts of Challenge One :)

Let your weekend have some refreshing qualities to it :heart

Feel free to come back and post what you did this weekend :heart

And, remember, take time to be with God. Give God part of the best of your day, not just the leftovers ;)

:heart
