Most people talk about "spring cleaning", but I always find that summer
is the best time for me to tackle the bigger projects around the house.
What about you?
We are a family of 8, and many hands make light work! When all six kids
are home from school for the summer break, it's a lot easier to take
care of those bigger tasks. The school year also means getting up early
to catch the bus, and more errands and appointments to run to. So not
only do I have more hands to help, I also have more time -- a rare
commodity for me!
This summer, I've already thrown away two trash bags of old papers, cleared
two bookshelves of my own books, had my young daughter clean out the
kids' books (five shelves' worth, and cleared out three shelves in the
garage that had old beat up craft supplies and catalogues and outdated
cleaning supplies on them. I also was able to toss out bags and bags of
trash from old junk stored in the garage that we just don't use anymore,
or that were broken. Goodbye, clutter!
Next up? I'm hoping to have the kids help me go through the stacks of
board games, and toss out anything they never use or that is missing too
many pieces. There's always plenty to do around here!
