First off, I apologize for being a day late with this. We had a power failure yesterday, and it lasted for a few hours, causing all sorts of issues. I'm back on track today! Since the weather is warming up, it's time to move outside and get your outdoor space in shape for the summer we all hope is coming! If you have a deck, a patio, or a balcony, they have probably not had much love for the winter months. I know my patio has collected lots of dead leaves and dust, and the furniture needs a bath. What outdoor spaces do you have, and what do you need to do to get them ready for summer enjoyment? This is the challenge for this week. Leave a comment below and let us all know what you have to do, and how it's going for you! 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔, 𝑲𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑴.

I hope spring is in the air where you are🐣 , and that the nice weather is motivating you to freshen up the inside of your home! If you are like me, you likely have a spring cleaning list as long as your arm,📃 and you're wondering where you will get the time to do it all! For me, the best way to "𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑡" is one bite at a time! I like to do one room each day. Sometimes, due to time constraints or physical limitations, I have to quit half way through. It's OK if you don't have the time or energy to complete a huge task all at once. At least you started, and that's a big step to getting finished! Just get back at it the next day. This week - if you haven't already - get a start on your spring cleaning. Make a list of what you want to accomplish, and put it on the fridge where you can see it - DAILY! Begin with a task that is easy to do in a short amount of time⌛. That way, you get "𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑣𝑒", and you get to cross one task off the list on the first day. You'll feel like you've accomplished something! Reward yourself with something special, like watching a movie, enjoying a favorite coffee drink, or perhaps a bubble bath🫧🛀🏻🫧. In the comments below, tell us what your plan of attack will be for this sometimes overwhelming springtime ritual. Are you an 𝑎𝑙𝑙-𝑖𝑛-𝑜𝑛𝑒-𝑑𝑎𝑦 kind of person, or 𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦? What is the first task you plan to tackle? What reward system do you plan to use when you complete a task? Let's do a mid-week check-in to help each other stay motivated. Now, let's 🐝"𝑆𝑃𝑅𝐼𝑁𝐺"🪻into action! 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔, 𝑲𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑴.

I don't know about where you are, but where I live, it is pretty much springtime - FINALLY! In honor of Spring, this week's challenge will give you a jump on your spring cleaning. Here's the link to an article that will fit right in with your spring cleaning routine: https://www.skool.com/the-big-sweep-7698/71774ffd. The challenge this week is to read the article 📖👀, then put your new knowledge to good use by doing what it says. When you're finished, drop a comment below telling us about your experience - how long it took you, how well it worked for you, and if you would do it that way again. If you've already cleaned your window screens, pick another spring cleaning related article to read, then do the chore. Next, drop a comment below telling us which article you read, how long it took to do the chore, how well the method worked, and if you would do it that way again! I am going to clean my window screens according to the instructions in the article. It's been 2 years since they were last cleaned, so they REALLY need some love 💞! The first day this week that it's NOT raining, I'll grab my🧽, and off I go! Have a great week, everyone! 𝑾𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔, 𝑲𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑴.

I'd like to challenge all of you (and myself) to do one small cleaning project each day this week. It could be something like clean and tidy a shelf in your laundry room, declutter and clean one cabinet in your kitchen, or declutter and re-fold one shelf in your linen closet. It always amazes me how just one little project can inspire me to do more of the same, and before I know it, I have the whole linen closet done, or the whole laundry room cleaned and tidied. By the time the week is over, I feel like I have accomplished something, and I don't feel guilty about taking a day off! Pick one small project each day, commit to it by telling us all about it here, then tell us when you've done it. Make sure you tell us what difference it makes to the room, and what difference it makes to your mental well-being. Any questions? Leave your comments here! 👇 P.S. If you have any suggestions of your own for a weekly challenge, feel free to tell us in the comments. It will be good to change things up once in a while! Until next week, 😀🪥 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑪𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈! 🪣😀

This will be a shorter week so we get back on track - Sunday to Saturday. I'd like to challenge you all (myself included) to do one cleaning project each day. It doesn't have to be big, or to take a long time. It could be something like empty, clean, and organize your silverware drawer. Or clear everything off of your dining room table, wash and replace the tablecloth, and place a nice centrepiece. I find when the table looks nice, I am less likely to pile things on it. Pick one small project each day, commit to it by telling us all about it here, and tell us when you've done it. Make sure you tell us what difference it makes to the room, and what difference it makes to your mental well-being? Any questions? Leave your comments here! 👇 P.S. If you have any suggestions for a weekly challenge, feel free to tell us in the comments. It will be good to change things up! Happy cleaning!
