Here is this week's official challenge - the Family Room! And the printable checklist.
Since we're almost half-way done, I want to do a quick survey. How much are you purging? Are you getting your stuff clean, but putting everything back? I challenge you to purge 50 items from each room. Bonus if you can do more. This Grand Plan only works if you get rid of the clutter. Getting rid of the clutter means less to clean later! And your house will stay clean and organized longer!
I will admit, I audibly groaned when I read this week's challenge. Our den or family room is the other central hub of our home. This is where most of our kids' toys are, our TV set is, etc. But since our house is short on closets, this is also where all of the homeless items end up. I am not looking forward to going through everything. I know it will be awesome when I'm done, but there is no excitement coming from my end. I'll need your encouragement this week! Plenty to do, so remember to take it a chunk at a time if your room is a catch-all like mine.
Comment here when you're done, or if you just need a little encouragement and remember to encourage the rest of us! And don't forget to purge!

I have been purging some things. I purged quite a bit back in July when we moved into this house, otherwise I'd probably be getting rid of more. The room I'm going to do this week is our second living room, which is smaller than the main living room I cleaned earlier in the challenge. This one will be easier, we don't use it much except for the kids to play in. There are two chairs and a chest full of toys, and that's about it! So this week will be fairly easy for me, which will hopefully give me time to catch all the way up on my kitchen and dining room!
