So I put together a list of 40 areas of my house that really need attention. That's pretty much the whole house. LOL My plan is to take one area each day (or maybe two if I'm feeling extra ambitious) and tackle it, then blog about it. If I get really brave, I'll take pics! I'm taking Sundays and holidays off, and I have a week of vacation coming up, but other than that, I am committing to at least one area a day in no particular order.
Now, I'm a joiner. I do my best work in groups, and if there's a little competition within the group, I do even better. So, I already have Jennifer on board, but I'd like to ask all of you to join me too. You don't have to follow my plan exactly. Just come up with something to do in forty days. Jennifer even mentioned doing home improvement projects. (I do have some pictures that need to be hung.) It can be anything really, as long as it related to creating order in your home. My projected completion date is August 27. Are you up to the challenge? The plan is to put up a Linky so if you blog about your projects you can link to it. Until then, go ahead and let me know what you're doing in the comments.
And, just to keep myself accountable, here are my forty areas:
Areas that are done are highlighted!
1. Boys' room under beds/floor

I'm with you. The challenge is on1 Thank you for the motivation to move in this area. It is a struggle for me to keep things in order and neat. I like the idea of doing a bit at a time.
