The Abundant Wife

This morning we went to Bible Study for the first time in 6 months.  I packed lunches last night and we ate at the park afterward.  So we were out of the house for more than three hours.  That meant I didn’t get to the cleaning challenge until this afternoon.  Oh, did I mention that […]

Good afternoon!  This morning I was up bright and early to go grocery shopping with my girls.  We went to WinCo and back, and then I put away the groceries, prepped barbecue chicken for dinner, and made lunches.  In the midst of the melee, we got a phone call about the filing cabinet we had […]

We are more than half way done the 30-Day House Cleaning Challenge!  Today’s project was to deep clean the bathroom.  One of the nice things I’ve noticed about this challenge, is the that the more often I clean each room in the house, the less time it takes to clean it.  This is because 1) […]

Happy Tax Day!  I hope you all managed to get your taxes in on time, and that you’re out there enjoying some of the freebies available today. It’s been overcast and rainy here today, and my husband has a head cold, so the atmosphere here is subdued. When I looked at the Cleaning Challenge project […]

Welcome back to the 30-Day House Cleaning Challenge!  The assignments for this weekend were to clean out a closet or two, surface clean an extra room, or deep clean a bedroom.  I opted to go back to our home office and organize our two filing cabinets full of  paperwork.  If you remember from Project #10, […]

Thank you for joining me for the 30-Day House Cleaning Challenge!  After completing Project #2, I later realized that I had neglected the cabinets and drawers in our bathroom.  I also noted that others were washing their shower curtains (with a cup of white vinegar) and thought that looked like a worthwhile endeavor. So for […]

We’re 1/3 of our way through the 30-Day House Cleaning Challenge!  Yeah!  Today’s assignment was to deep clean the living room, but when I looked over the list of things to do, I realized I had done most of them Sunday night.  However, Brad was in Sacramento for training today, so I decided to surface […]

  Today I am exhausted, even with two cups of coffee to start my day.  Last night we had 40 people in our living room for Club.  They played a game called “Bigger-N-Better.”  Everyone divides into teams and then drives around town in their cars.  The idea is to start with something small and keep […]

Today’s project was to sweep and vacuum all the floors in your house.  Our house is a one-story house, with only 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.  So I decided to go ahead and do all of it.  (However, I did NOT mop!) Since I did this challenge all last week, there really wasn’t a lot […]

My husband is back from Mexico, so that means I have a camera again!  For Friday through Sunday (Projects #5-#7), I could choose one of the three projects.  I chose to surface-clean our living room late Sunday night.  The surfaces in our living room were a lot dirtier than I thought.  I feather-dusted the mantel, […]
