One of my dear friends was visiting and we were talking about babies, cooking, house cleaning and the like. Of course the conversation consisted of how difficult it is to do "everything" while having a toddler and a baby and our attempts (or at least mine cause she is so awesome!) to create routines and stick with them. For me, the master bedroom/bathroom tends to be the last thing touched in my house cleaning because it seems the least important... or is it?
I was challenged years ago by a very respectable woman in our church who said that if anything is clean and orderly in the house, it should be the master bedroom. As women and moms, our bedroom is our retreat. As husband and wife, it is our place of intimacy. But do I use the space that way? Or do I use it to place laundry loads, collect important papers, scattered books, etc. Though I don't spend a ton of time in my bedroom or bathroom, the time that I DO spend needs to be high quality and I need to enjoy the space.
So, my challenge to myself and maybe to you... for the next couple weeks, let's spend fifteen minutes (because we can all find 15 minutes!) a day transforming our master bedroom and bathroom.
Here's our steps:
1. Put items away (laundry, papers, etc.)
2. De-clutter. What do we really need? What clothes can we give away?
3. Dust. This includes the fan!
4. Organize. My jewelry is a hot mess and my shoes could use some help!
5. Re-decorate. Shop the rest of your house for decorations. What can you swap
from room to room or make a new use for?
6. Enjoy!!
Take some before and after pics! :)
Not the fan! LOL
