30-Day Housecleaning Challenge Day 15


Project #15

Your project for today is to surface clean the living room and kitchen.

  • Set the timer for 15 minutes and pick up and put away everything that’s out of place. Bonus project: Find 7 things to get rid of.
  • Next, wash the dishes in the kitchen (if there are any), wipe down the countertops and surfaces in the kitchen.
  • Finally, vacuum the living room.

--- What did I do? Gotta laugh, because I have my own little beat, posting the tasks and then doing nothing even similar to it :). But it's still fun.

So, what did I do? I cleaned out a garage :D True story. My toddler and I carried out boxes, emptied them, threw away piles of things that we don't use, is seriously deteriorated, or disgusting, or old (so definitely more than 7 items that I got rid of). 

My girl found a big box where she planted herself in and played happily while I was cleaning, coughing and moving things around. Coughing because I was also sweeping the garage floor and there is a winter's worth of sand... I should have worn a mask. Duh!

But the outcome was BEAUTIFUL! We have more space,  it looks so nice and tidy. I have to be honest, though. I didn't get to tackle all the shelves and go through all the items. Two and a half hours was just not enough to get to everything but it was enough to change things drastically and now I can go back to the remaining shelves as I have the time and energy for.  I felt I was very successful even without being able to tackle everything and that's what matters. Life is more and more in order. Woohoo!!
