Do you have one area in your home that just makes your stomach a wee bit queasy?  (I wish I only had one!)  Today, hop away from that computer and spend just five minutes tackling it . . . and then see if you’re not motivated to keep right on going! 

I tackled the play room today at our house (I usually just try not to go in there . . . ) and am amazed at how much more I accomplished than I expected in right around fifteen minutes.  I promise it’ll feel so good to have a little part of your mess tidied up a bit!

I’d love to hear which area you choose in your home . . . Ready, set, goooooo!

Ready for today’s five minute challenge? Since the sun is finally shining in our neck of the woods, I thought it would be a great afternoon to grab your broom and sweep off the front porch!  So, here you go . . .

Stand up, walk away from your computer, grab your broom and do a quick sweep of your front porch.  Get rid of any cobwebs that have survived the winter (yikes!), and fluff up your front door!

Ready, set, goooooo!  I’ve got two more posts to schedule and then I’m on my way out the door.

Ready for today’s five minute challenge? This one’s not too bad!

Stand up, walk away from your computer, and go through any stacks of magazines you have.  If you absolutely love an issue, keep it.  If not, donate them, pass them on to a friend, or recycle them! 

Do you have any suggestions on where to donate magazines?  I’d love to hear them!  (And you may want to check out this super clever & frugal idea for storing magazines over HERE.  Some folks are just so smart!)

Thanks to all the great ideas over on Facebook to get me out of my cleaning slump today . . . you guys are the best! 

Ready for today’s five minute challenge? Let’s take five minutes today to clean out the microwave (bleck!)  Here’s the challenge:

Stand up, walk away from the computer, and scrub your microwave!  (A great way to do this is to boil water for two minutes, then the steam will allow you to wipe down most of the gunk pretty quickly.)

Ready for today’s five minute challenge? Here you go!

Stand up, hunt down your purse, and clean it out thoroughly. Get rid of any odd socks (really?) throw away those gum wrappers, and add a travel sized bottle of hand lotion if you have one in your pantry.  (Can you guess who else has one in her pantry needing to find a home?) 

Ready, set, gooooo!  If you’re at work add it to your to-do list tonight, and it’ll feel so good to get it done.  Happy Cleaning!

Ready for today’s five minute challenge? Since we cleaned out a drawer in the bathroom yesterday (I actually finished mine this morning. . .), let’s go ahead and clean out a set of cabinets underneath the sink!   Here’s today’s challenge:

Stand up, walk away from the computer, and see how much you can organize underneath the sink in just five minutes!  Get rid of items you no longer use, fold any towels neatly, and organize any cleaning products that you need. 

Ready, set, gooooo!  If you’re at work add it to your to-do list tonight, and it’ll feel so good to get it done.  Happy Cleaning!
