31 Days to Clean: Day #3

Day 3 - 10 Ways to Give Life to Your Home

Mary Challenge: Ask your family what makes them feel the most loved when it comes to you caring for your home – ask them to be specific so that you can begin (or continue) to give life to your domain.

My 3 babes under 3 just stared at me... hehe

My sweet, amazing, encouraging hubby told me it makes him comfortable, (and I guess) feel loved when he comes home every afternoon and the house (mainly the living room) is picked up. He also said that this makes him more aware of cleaning/keeping things picked up daily and when he's watching the kiddos for me. *Bonus! He also appreciates it when he comes down stairs, from his nightly routine of putting the girls to bed, to find I've done the nightly load of laundry and dishes as well as picked up any stragglers from the girl's game of "clean up" for bed. YAY!

Martha Challenge: Kitchen - Dust tops of refrigerator, cabinets, and shelves. Clean and shine the outsides of drawers and cabinets.

Well, that's my excuse anyway ;o) Not cleaning them well a year ago when we moved in was a real contributing factor but hey, I was prego and exhausted...yeah, I know, another excuse ;o)

31 Days to Clean: Day #2

31 Days to Clean Having a Martha House the Mary wayDay 2 - Created to Give Life

Mary Challenge: What can you do today to bring life to your home, your children, your husband, and your sphere of influence?

Ugg, I am still working on this...

I feel like I'm ok at Decorating, preparing meals, hospitality

BUT I am a giant FAIL in the areas of using my words creating an atmosphere of peace and breathe life into (but not limited to) my family. I have a tendency to be a pessimist and have a hard time encouraging anyone over the age of ~5. I just feel silly. Totally wrong, just being honest. Feel free to post advice in this area. I'm also learning to be teachable.

Not sure how I stack up in the areas of: education – to yourself, your children, or others, church – using your gifts, socially, culture and the arts, heritage and traditions – enriching the lives around you

Martha Challenge: Kitchen – Clean out and scrub down the refrigerator and freezer.

 I thought this task would be simple because I had resently cleaned out my fridge one Sunday morning while I was the only one home from church with a sick baby...but I was a little wrong.

I forgot I'd run out of time before I hit the disgusting freezer. I forgot to snap a shot of the horrific trays in the door.Can you can "can of frozen grease"? bluck!
