Challenge

I am going to do a 30 day challenge. I hope this will help me accomplish cleaning my house. I am not a house cleaner. I hate cleaning. I would rather play with my kids than to have a clean home. However it doesnt have to be this way I know. I can have it both ways. A lot of families have a clean home and still find the time to play with the kids. We are a very busy family. Both our kids have activities and we have family events constantly. So I have very little time to clean.

So here is my challenge why dont you join me and post a comment on how you have done so.

Challenge is:  Clean my kitchen and arrange it better.
                     Clean the living room and arrange it better.
                     Arrange the homeschool area to make it better.
                    Clean the Bathroom and reaarange the closets to make it better.
                     Clean my master bedroom, finish decorating it and arrange it better.
                     Clean Nathaniel's room and get rid of some toys.
                     Clean Destiny's room and get rid of some clothes and toys.
                     Declutter the entire house.
                     Throw away at least 30 things I havent used in the last six months. ( 1 a day)
                    Mop all rooms.
                     Do all the windows.
                     Wash the refigierator. ( Havent been done in a long time)
                      Blog about it everyday.
                     Have this all done in 30 days no matter what.

Happy Homeschooling

I am so ready for tomorrow. I enjoy homeschooling my children. My children are so wonderful to me. I sometimes think I do not deserve them. I want to offer them the world. I want them to know our Savior Jesus Christ. I hope and pray to be the leader I need to be for Christ.

I have changed how I homeschool this year and it has been a wonderful experience. I am more relaxed and more convinced my children are learning. At the time of our schooling it is hard to see them actually learning sometimes. You have those days where you just want to pull your hair out and throw in the towel. You think you are not doing what God wants you to be doing. I know these days very well. I have them often, then God allows me to see my children playing and saying things they have learned that I didn't realize they had picked up as well as they did. I want to offer you encouragement today. I want to let you know that it will get better. You don't have to push everything into one day. Break it up for your family. Each family is different and yes there are some that I do find myself envious of. However I pray and allow myself to think of my family and to think of what God has blessed me with. I then say what can I do better for my family? I then try to do whatever I think of to make it a little better. I hope you too can do this or something to find peace for your family.
