31 days to clean

I started this new book/journey called: 31 days to clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way. Each day you are encouraged with some thoughts and ideas, and you put those ideas to action.

After each days reading, the two challenges are:

• The Mary Challenge -Something you do that encourages/engages your heart 
• The Martha Challenge – Specific cleaning tasks 

Day # 1 was "Why Clean". The Mary challenge was to identify specific reasons you want to make your home a haven and then to complete a mission statement based on those reasons.

This is what I came up with: To be clean, organized and efficient in order to prosper a calm, enriching and loving home life/living environment for my family that is full of love and positive energy.

One of the main reasons I wrote this is because I realize that if my home is totally out of organization and in chaos then I am also in chaos. This leads to me being short with my children and my husband. So if I can catch that now and continue to keep clean and organized, then I will be able to prosper a calm and loving environment.

Day # 2 was about women being created to give life. The specific Martha challenge today was to clean out and scrub down the refridgerator and freezer.

I did this along with getting the pantry back into organization.

 

I will try to keep you updated on the 31 days and my progress. If you want to check it out yourself, it is only $4.99 to download the e-book. www.31daystoclean.com.
