The past week and a half we have been working on cleaning house so we can put the house on the market by the end of February. We have made a few runs to the recycling center, a lot of runs to the trash can, several runs to Good Will, and we have given a lot of hand-me-downs to family and friends and yes, we still have a lot of stuff! We are using our labeler and consolidating things and we do look more organized. So, the question is: will we stay organized? Stay tuned to find out!
And, for those of you who are wondering why this post is on our homeschool blog -- because we are learning that cleaning up is a hassle and staying clean in the first place is probably an easier way to live! As always, we are learning through living.
