It’s Monday and guess what that means? That means it’s time for our weekly deep-cleaning project! Every Monday morning this year, I’ll be assigning us all a deep-cleaning project to tackle (well, that is, if want to join us!)
Today’s project is to tackle your kitchen cupboards and drawers. If you only have 5 or 10 minutes, pick the drawer or cupboard that needs the most attention. I’m hoping to organize 2-4 drawers/cupboards today. We’ll see!
Here’s my plan for this morning:
- Exercise, start laundry, shower, & get dressed to my shoes. (Thanks, Flylady!)
- Make coffee & read my Bible/write in my Blessings Journal.
- Blogging/email.
- Kids up, eat breakfast, devotions with the kids.
- Morning chores with the kids. Clean 2-4 drawers/cupboards in the kitchen.
- Get the kids started on their independent school work.
- Conference call about South Africa.
- Morning Time with the kids.
- Lunch time/family devotions.
This evening, I’ll share a post about how my morning well and give you an update (with pictures) what I did and how my kitchen cleaning project went.

I am on “vacation” this week from my job. Thanks to the Motivated Moms app that you recommend a few months ago, my vacation to do list was completed last week…..including the kitchen cupboards. My home is no longer in “chaos”.

Woohoo! This makes me so happy!

Great new series! Mondays are my big cleaning days so I may do this on maybe Tuesdays. The biggest thing I did recently was clean out my spice cabinet! Threw out old spices, cleaned the cabinet, and entered everything into Out of Milk, which is an app that keeps track of my pantry inventory.

I got an unexpected day off of work today (icy roads – I’m a teacher) so I have been trying to complete some much needed cleaning projects! I already tackled the fridge and pantry. Now I’m going to move on to the other drawers in the kitchen. I have bags of clothes we are donating, just need to drop them off at goodwill. Feels great to check some tasks off the “to do” list! 🙂

Sounds great! I already have a donation pile for Amvets, hopefully I can find some more things in my drawers that I don’t use and donate.

Yes! I’ve been meaning to tackle this project, and have a bottle of organic cherry spray from Amazon Subscribe & Save I purchased for a song to try out! Is there a new hash tag for these Monday challenges when posting?
annie says
is a hastag a twitter thing, instragram thing, or both? 😮
Misty Nicole Roberts says
Both, and is often used on blog posts as well to help increase post SEO exposure!

i’ve been waiting for this particular challenge. we have 2 junk drawers in our kitchen, one for electronic cords and a second catchall. this is a great opportunity to be intentional with all its contents. my husband is a bit of a packrat so i may not be able to purge some of those electronic cords.
i wiped out the remaining kitchen drawers a couple of weeks ago because i’ve been using the confidentmom calendar since the new year. thanks for that too.!

Yeah! You’re such an inspiration to me! I just finished the kitchen cupboards, drawers, & pantry. I gave 3 sacks of kitchen-food items away Friday. I’m a want to be minimalist. I’m praying the 25 cookbooks I’m getting rid of will sell & the computer’s ac adapter comes in the mail today, so I can consolidate recipes & advertise them.
k says
Oops! I meant advertise the cookbooks.

One of my goals for this week was to clean out kitchen cupboards. I might as well do it today! After we shovel some more snow….
