4 week challenge

ctab · 07-14-2014, 03:30 AM

Anyone else want to do this with me?

If you give her your email, you get he rebook for free that has print out sheets with the challenges. Otherwise she has them all listed out. I am starting today, but the only major assignment for the day is clean out your diaper bag/ purse you could join today, and get in full swing tomorrow.

I thought we could have a support thread on here for those doing it.

I probably should. I've got to get this house the rest of the way under control and I struggle with knowing even where to start. I just got a new purse this weekend and organized it as part of the switching over process. Plus I've spent the summer trying to establish a morning routine and clear out the house for a garage sale. So that hits most of Day 1.

I'll join you with Day 2 tomorrow and pick up the goal setting that was supposed to happen today.

I'll give it a try too! I'm (almost) always up for trying a new thing that might help.

It's nice to have a cleaned out diaper bag! Working on my goals...

I had a good day yesterday, and so far this morning I have: read the bible, prayed, done dishes, unloaded and loaded laundry, cooked breakfast, cleared and cleaned the kitchen countertops, and wiped down the stove. I am switching the cleaning of the fridge till tomorrow, because it will be closer to trash day.

I am joining in. I really need to clean and purge for a garage sale.

My seven things I got rid of were old coloring books as we'll as setting aside some kids books that we no longer use for the our church rummage sale.

I'll at least try . . . I'm just now seeing this, I was planning to clean out the fridge tomorrow anyway, so I think I'll jump right into day 2, my purse was cleaned out not too long ago and as the kids get older, the purse doesn't get as messy, so I don't mind skipping that.

sunflowermom · 07-15-2014, 07:10 PM

My fridge is purged but not wiped down. Does that count?

Still working on my 7 things.

Clean out your freezer

knitlove · 07-16-2014, 07:01 AM

Oh I need to join in

sunflowermom · 07-16-2014, 06:48 PM

Oh, horray! I did my freezer yesterday with the fridge. Maybe this means I should wipe down the fridge today...

sweetpeas · 07-16-2014, 06:50 PM

I cleaned out the fridge today, threw out more than 7 things that were in the fridge, does that count? LOL (I also got rid of a bunch of junk when I was cleaning for company the first part of the week, so I'm counting that too), just found out we'll be traveling a bunch with dh for work, which means lots of food prep work when we're home so we have frozen stuff we can heat up in hotel rooms, so I'm not sure how faithful I'll be with this challenge, but will at least try to do some days

peekaboomama · 07-21-2014, 01:06 PM

Here goes week 2! I'm swapping today's challenge (clean the car) with Wednesdays (door handles) since DH has the car today.

ctab · 07-22-2014, 05:40 AM

Ready to wipe some baseboards!
