Let's clean up our hot spots, counters, tables, etc... I'll come up with something better for tomorrow! Everyone is doing a great job!

I clean those spots nightly before bed so I don't have to in morning! SO yay another one done already!

Yesterday I did tackle my daughters closet! That led to me rearranging her room and toy room. It took only about an hour..so I dont know why I kept putting off! Now everything is brand new to the kids as I finally rotated some toys! YAY!

My son cleaned his room yesterday like a mad man. I told him as soon as his room was spotless I would hook up the old computer for him to use in his room. No internet just some games and typing. So that is something I will TRY to tackle today. I am not very good wire hooker-upper.

And am emptying my closet onto my bed in a few minutes to tackle during snack and lunch. If its on my bed it HAS to be done before bed! Thats my new stratagy. Throw laundry on bed, empty drawers on bed..etc. It has worked. LOL

So a few things to get done today but in no rush...I have NO PLANS all day/night! Good job everyone and thanks for hosting these challanges.

I have been cleaning and de-cluttering all week. It feels great to have all those things, that we didn't use, out of the house. I freecycled them and had people coming to my house for 2 days picking up stuff. I had a lot of "junk". I still have a few things I need to part with, but with company coming, I will wait until next week to list them.

~I'm doing my weekly cleaning today. My parents are coming over for dinner tonight. I'm glad we're just doing maitenance because I've got a jillion other thing to get done today. I'm definately gonna try to purge another small bag of things after I'm finished everything else. Giving away things is really addictive!~

Great job! I like to do little things daily, because I know everyone has other things to do also, like laundry, cleaning, kids, work...

I cleaned off one of my major hotspots last night -- the kitchen table! I cleared it off, put the new tablecloth my mother bought me on it, the 3 matching placemats I found at the thrift store which matches the stripe in the table cloth, and put a lantern candle holder in the center (also purchased at thrift). My table looks so nice now I don't want to put anything on it!

My goal for tonight is to clean off:
Kitchen counter corner -- I want this to be my "control center" aka www.flylady.net

Round table in living room -- this started as a cute table w/ a vintage table cloth and cut glass lamp (all thrifted) and now is a hodgepodge of pokemon games, books, and clutter! Ack!

Thanks again so much for hosting this thread! I love it!
