For Memory...
"But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,
and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,
even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many."
(Matthew 20:26b-28)

dining room, other miscellaneous {Summer Simplify Challenge}
~Day 1 :: dining room clutter - The dining room is a place to eat. Duh! But it can also be a place to set things down to deal with "later". The corners are perfect for hiding those projects we're trying to ignore or the piles we don't have time to deal with. Today, let's commit to getting the junk out of the dining room so we can enjoy using the space for...well...dining.
~Day 2 :: clean out files - I have a filing box for things that we need or want to keep indefinitely (like tax and education records). I have a pretty little file where I keep things for the current year. I have an expandable file for instruction booklets. Mid-year is a good time to give those files a quick sort-and-toss.
~Day 3 :: file paperwork - Paperwork is my nemesis (along with laundry and dishes, but don't get me started on those). I'll use this simple filing system to get the stack of mail and the bulging wall file sorted and stored in my lovely file box. Finally (again)!
~Day 4 :: sort books - We've got books. Lots of them. Too many of them. Evaluate if each book is worthy of shelf space. Also see if the kids have outgrown their book collection. Not all books are worth keeping forever.
~Day 5 :: bookshelves - After sorting through the books yesterday, today let's take a look at the bookshelves. See if items are stored in a logical and attractive way, re-arrange or replace decorative items, and clean out the non-book items (such as homeschool supplies). Make the bookshelves look orderly and inviting.
Are you playing along with the Summer Simplify Challenge? It's never too late to get our homes in order! Check it out NOW!
