Prepare for Thanksgiving Together 5 Week Series – Week 1, Part 2

October 23, 2012 by Jenni 79 Comments

Week 1 is out of the way and we’ll soon be starting week 2 of the challenge and series!  If you’ve not seen what this 5 week challenge is about click and read the following.

  • Prepare for Thanksgiving Together 5 Week Series Kickoff
  • Prepare for Thanksgiving Together Week 1, Part 1 (Includes Homework)

This week we talked about indoor cleaning to prepare for Thanksgiving company.  I meant to get this post up on Sunday but it was a CRAZY weekend so this one’s a little late.  I promised before and after pics of my own progress.  If you’ve got some that you’d like to share, send them to sweetpennies@gmail.com.  I’d love to share them!!

My struggles this week was finding the time.  I had to squeeze it in, but you know…if I waited closer to Thanksgiving then I know I’d be totally stressed so I’m glad that I’m focusing on it now!  Okay, here are my before and after photos.  The 2nd week’s series post and challenge will be coming up this week…keep an eye out for it!

Laundry is GONE! Shew, I can breathe =)

DVD's are GONE!! Yes, those are old wooden Santa Clause figures...I leave them out all year =) I still need to arrange the mantle and I'll get to that this week!

Again, DVD's are GONE! They're all in a cabinet, nice - neat - and organized!

Okay – so how did YOU do this week?  What all did you accomplish?  Here is a recap of last week’s homework assignment:

  • Pick 3 Hotspots in your home & clean them up (give yourself 10-15 mins. for each hotspot!)
  • Designate a Basket, totebag, even a Walmart bag to pick up out of place things every night (and put those things away) *Make this a nightly ritual or give this job to one of the kids (set a timer to make it more fun for them!)
  • Get laundry caught up.
  • Fill one trashbag (or more) full of unused and good recyclable toys to drop off at Goodwill or donate to a family in need.
  • Fill one trashbag (or more) of unused and good clothing to drop off at Goodwill or donate to a family in need.
  • Sweep cobwebs and dust bunnies from the ceilings and corners of your rooms.  (I dare you to do it to ALL your rooms!)
  • Clean & organize your entryway.
  • Do your regular dusting and mopping/vacuuming.

My grade:

  1. Picked 3 hotspots – Check
  2. Designate a basket or bag to pick up things each night – Check
  3. Get Laundry caught up – Check
  4. Fill bags with clothes and toys – Check, Check!  Already gave the clothes away…now I just need to drop off the toys this week!
  5. Sweet cobwebs – Check
  6. Clean and organize entryway – I don’t really have an entry way so I get to cheat on that one 😉
  7. Regular dusting, mopping/vacuuming – Check (a couple rooms…not the whole house (eek)

    Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems?
    A few of my blog audience have complained about my
    site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox.
    Do you have any tips to help fix this problem?

    Hi, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments?
    If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can suggest?
    I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any help is very much appreciated.

    There has to be an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?

    You certainly know how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
    A lot more people need to look at this and understand this side of the story.
    I was surprised that you are not more popular since
    you definitely have the gift.
