This week is going to be good, but also a challenge. I have 4 boxes of craft supplies that I am getting out of our basement for the Girl Scout's craft supply day. On the down side, I know for certain that I'm going to be bringing home at least 1 box of new items from that craft supply event.

That's why this week, I have decided to focus my attention on our kitchen. We have a large eat-in kitchen that also serves as our homeschool room for part of the day. It's also the dumping ...
40 Bags in 40 Days Challenge – Week #2
How did you do during the first week of the challenge? My first week didn't go as planned because I ended up sick. It's really hard to find the motivation to clean and declutter when you aren't feeling well. I did get one really good round of cleaning in and got rid of 2 big bags of stuff from around the kitchen and laundry room. There was no rhyme nor reason to the clean up though, so I'm hoping to have some more time to focus and actually make progress this ...
