What does this have to do with homeschooling? It has to do with home. It has to do with attitude. It has to do with the legacy I am leaving for my children.
I no longer want to be cluttered and messy. I no longer want my house to be unwelcoming to anyone who may stop in. I don't want inviting people over to be stressful.
I want a place to have peace and joy with my family. I want to change myself and serve those I love most. I want a place of order.
I've tried FlyLady. She is so sweet and I do use some of her ideas (15 minute cleaning), but I am just not motivated by a shiny sink.
I attempted a 40 bags in 40 days challenge and did get 3 large boxes and 2 bags outta my house, but as you can see there is more to this mess than just tossing stuff.
What I am looking for a heart change.
So I will be participating in 31 Days to Clean Homemakers Challenge.
I've bought Sarah Mae's ebook 31 Days to Clean - Having a Martha House the Mary Way and I think I am ready to find freedom in the walls of my home.

You sound exactly like me!
Sarah, I am with you. Sooo with you. That's why I'm putting on this challenge! Thanks so much for joining in!!
I'm still your friend! And I have a hard time overcoming clutter too. There's another good book I just reviewed for Heart of the Matter called "The Organized Heart". It's about decluttering our lives from the inside out.
Thanks for your comment about the trees. I added you to my side bar. Us newby bloggers need to stick together. Also I have a post coming tomorrow that I hope will help you with your mission to get busy and organized. Check back with me in the morning!
