TGVCU day 6

Five days deserves a break, so I took one.  The habit is already ingrained though, because I caught myself on a few occasions heading to my project.  I happily decided to spend time with my children and husband though, which was wonderful.

If I thought I was beaming yesterday, that was a dim light compared to the blinding glow I felt today when I overheard my husband tell our children he "got lost" in the newly decluttered area of the basement.  I think it was more of a 'I don't know where I am because it's never looked so good down here' kind of lost.  Not like before, where you could lose your way if you didn't leave a trail of soup noodles behind you!

TGVCU day 5

The biggest dent of all has been made!  I am so proud of myself and my family for their support, add some of my routines have been neglected during this vacation.  I was able to clear the clutter in my worst hotspot, our sewing/craft/girls' area.  When recurring I have to document that I found an entire carton of soup that was actually on my shopping list for the week.  I also found a pencil box that I "thought" I had, but replaced last week when purchasing school supplies out of fear I'd never find it by Labor day!

I absolutely LOVE the love I have for myself for myself right now having accomplished so much.

Today my oldest daughter and I spent time measuring out decorations for a Halloween party we have wanted to host for three years now!  It appears this year may finally be the year!  More love coming through!

TGVCU day 4

Today's amazing accomplishment was reorganizing the game rack. It looks amazing! And better than that is how many games the little ones played all day, enjoying themselves, having forgotten they even owned half of these games!  It probably felt like Christmas day in August.

Yesterday and today I came tothe realization that in order for me to Decker and organize what I love, I have to make a bigger mess first.  But by starting on one side of the room and working my way around, as I remember the flylady suggesting, I have been successful!  By clearing the tabletop on day 3, I was able to quickly organize all of our games and puzzles!  I have unsuccessfully started at the other end of the room and never made it this far into the room.  Yeah me!

I also want to thank God for His role in this adventure.  Through my prayers,  He knew of my desire to bless my family, our home, and myself with this project/vacation, and has guided me the entire time.

TGVCU day 3

Oh no!  I just did a huge declutter and forgot to take before photos, so I will take them now!  My great accomplishment of the day was similar to my fly lady sink shining.  I cleared my table!
