Welcome to Week 11 of The Deep Clean Challenge.
Last week’s project was a two-parter. Which, by the way, that smudge hunt was pretty satisfying, wasn’t it? Especially if you have kids of any age living at home. It’s kind of impressive how much just getting rid of that stuff we don’t typically notice can brighten up a room.
It might not be as exciting as new Brita filter day or new contact day, but it was a good day. We need to celebrate the little wins to find what we need to make it through the harder times. So before we get started on the challenge to fix the annoying thing, take a moment to look back at what you have done and be proud of yourself. (Do not sit there and tell yourself you could have done any of it better, you did the best you could at the time. You can hit Rinse and repeat at the end.)
If you’re just joining us, so far, as part of The Deep Clean Challenge, we have:
Are you ready for this week’s challenge?
Have you noticed the pattern in how we explain each week’s challenge? Why are we doing this thing? What do we need to do it? How to do it? Let’s get started? Unfortunately, since we are all probably doing something different this week, we can’t do anything but cheer you on.
FIX THE ANNOYING THING IN YOUR HOME.
Heather’s project: I would like to take the ethernet cable that has been in our hallway for three years and run it through the attic. However, my son is graduating on Saturday and we’re having the party at my house, so reality says I may just be cleaning up after that and that will be ok, too. Sometimes life just is that way and we have to give ourselves grace.
I would like to see, in the comments, what project you are doing this week..
Are you ready? Let’s go!
Small project week has been the bomb. I repaired to ac/heating vent tops that had come loose, the top of one of my windows blinds had been askew and I fixed that. I am still working on fixing the leak in our one bathroom sink but now I know how to. But the biggest project was the easiest! We had never put a door sweep on our new shower door and therefore had water leak out. I drove to the hardware yesterday and purchased the sweep, this was a ten minute project. When my husband came home from work I kept saying you take your shower first. He finally went upstairs and was so surprised and excited. Sometimes it is the little things. Thank you.
I’m so glad it was helpful for you. The little things really can make such a difference.
