Mission Clean and Simplify-Area 1-Main Bathroom

Well, I chose to start with the smallest room in the house, because I have a lot going on today, and it won't take too much effort to get it done. There's nothing like instant gratification to get you going. Here's my before picture as promised.

I am setting a goal of 1 day to get this room complete top to bottom. Sorry the photos not the best, my camera is acting up. Behind the door to the left is a large linen closet as well.  Yes, there's clothes laying in the floor and stuff piled on the cabinet. I told you, I was ready to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. So my goals for this room are:

~General pick up and put away

~Laundry, including clothes, towels, and rugs

~Scrub toilet, tub, and sink

~Take mini blinds down and wash them in the tub and hang to dry

~Wipe down walls, windows, doors, baseboards, and mirrors

~Wipe down fixtures and towel rods

~Declutter, clean, and organize the linen closet

~Declutter and organize the abundant hair accessories

~Declutter, clean, and organize bathroom cabinet

~Scrub down trash can

~Vacuum really good (using crevice tool and getting in corners, etc)

While I'm at all this cleaning and decluttering, I've got a special notebook that I'll be writing my goals list on and I'll be taking notes while I'm in each room for things like...things I need to buy or make for this area, decorating ideas, etc. I should say that we are renting this house, so like for instance, as much as I hate the wallpaper in the bathroom, and in several areas of my home, I have to decorate around it, but I see no reason not to decorate the areas of my home as I would in a home of my own, so that when we do buy a home, I'll have everything but the wall color to decorate. Know what I mean? If you can't see in this room, my theme of decorations is rubber ducky with a little country mixed in.

So far on my notes for this bathroom, I already have:

~ make a curtain for the window

~get some more baskets for organization and decorating

So there you have it my first goal to accomplish. I will probably post pictures tomorrow or else right before I go to bed. If I don't get it done for some reason today, that's okay, but it just gives me a goal to shoot for. If you're joining in with me, I can't wait to see how you're doing!

Also on my to do list for today is:

~homeschool

~keep up with kitchen chores

~laundry

~quick pick up during our afternoon routine

~go work at my mom's house ( This is something new I am taking on. I will be going over to my mom's house to clean her house for a couple hours every Tuesday to help her out and to earn a little extra money.)

~Cub scouts tonight

~pay gas bill

And that will be my day. I pray your day is amazingly blessed beyond measure!

Love,

Sara
