I was so happy the other day when an email buddy sent me a link to the Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge .  The challenge works not only on your home, but also on your heart, which likely needs some cleaning as well!  (mine always does). 

Scroll down a ways on that blog, and you'll see a link to the free Clean Heart, Clean Home Organizer.

I printed out that organizer (about 85 pages) and put them in a brand new 3-ring binder.  My house is not the mess it once was, thanks to Flylady (and even more thanks to God!), but I still find it hard to get deep cleaning done.  For some reason, the dust bunnies and the toys under the boys' beds do not get cleaned out on their own!  So I'm using the Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge to do a "Spring" cleaning of my house.

Yesterday, we started with the van.  Oh, my!  The things you can find in cubby holes and  under seats in a van!  Whew, I'm glad that one is over.

In my desire to get organized for the new school year we are cleaning & organizing and scheduling this week. We spent most of the day yesterday cleaning out my car also. UGH, what a disgusting task! The things a 3 & 4 yr old can do to a car are just atrocious! And we also got the dog bathed, a huge feat in itself. It was great meeting you on friday & I will check out this website. It sounds like just the thing I could use right now.

Hi Lori!
I am going to go check into that right now. I have heard of it a bunch and it seems that a lot of people are doing it, but I have always skipped over it. Well, it's time.
Thanks for posting the link. ;)

Thank you for sharing this! I, too, am trying to clean out and have made great progress, but really have a hard time with deep cleaning, too!! I remember the van days - you never knew what you were going to find! I'm sure you are glad that is over with! I found a CD of the flylady from one her conventions at the library the other day and it was only 50 cents! Can you believe that? Can't wait to listen to it!! Take care and God bless!

Lori, your blog is always so full of great ideas and encouragement! I'm so thankful when I can slip into the homeschool room and log on for a few quiet moments to read your new posts -- and we have 6 children, so that's not always easy! God bless you!
