I’m so excited about how many of you are joining us for the 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home Challenge! If you missed today’s assignment, you can find it here.
The weather was so beautiful here today again! We’re soaking it up!
So in cleaning the baseboards today, I realized that I don’t think I’ve cleaned them since last 4 Weeks to a More Organized Challenge.
And that would explain why all sorts of nasty dust and dirt was sitting on them — yuck!
I also realized that I forgot to show you the 7 things I got rid of yesterday in my post last night. I did a little cleaning on the kid’s bookshelf and came up with a few things to pass on/get rid of.
And here’s today’s box of stuff: I went through my office and found a few odds and ends to get rid of — mostly stuff to throw out.
How you do on Assignment #7? I’d love to have you share your progress and success with us so we can be inspired. Either post a link to your blog post below or leave a comment with your update.

My baseboards weren’t too bad, but I’ve been wiping them down more often. Our weather has been fairly nice too. I’m so happy spring has arrived.

I’ve fallen a little behind but I have found other things that I have gotten to so it wasn’t a total lost. Also my husband keeps reminding me of what I can’t do, since my surgery, so I am listening. But he’s promised to vacuum out the car tonight for me. I am tackling the clutter in my office which is days worth of work. I am finially getting around to making files so things have a home to go to.

I used vinegar spray to clean my baseboards! I also used the spray to clean the air vents! I also started in on the ceiling fans; removing the blades and cleaning them, as I find that the same dust on the baseboards finds its way to the ceiling fan blades as well.

I got a few minutes to vacuum my van (from yesterday), vacuumed every carpeted room in the house (with my children going before me and making sure each room was vacuum-ready), and my kids and I wiped down all the baseboards. I’m sure the ones I wiped are cleaner than the ones they wiped, but I don’t mind. The kids helped me get rid of 7 “dress up” clothing items since their bin was overflowing. My children are getting into this challenge with me – they ask me what the day’s tasks are. 🙂
