This year is going to look a bit different for our family. Our house goes on the market this week and we anticipate moving two hours north of here, hopefully by summer. I am ever so grateful we have done the 34 Weeks of Clean program for several years now, as getting ready for the sale of the house has proved fairly easy. There has been little to weed out and not much to do. A little staging here and there and our regular cleaning is all it has taken.
Read this NOT as a brag on our part, but a personal testimony that 34 Weeks of Clean can and does work! It is NOT a fix quick, it does take some time and energy- but it is most definitely worth it. I promise!
While I will not be blogging on the system much this year, I think our time will be taken over with move and building a house posts, we will be following along as best we can and are always here to answer questions and cheer you on!
Grab a friend and work together, or at least spur each other on. Accountability goes a long way for motivation!
We always start with Christmas decorations, but if you have already taken those down you can jump right in to week two, or consider yourself ahead and enjoy one more week off.
Remember- slow and steady wins the race.
One. Week. At. A. Time!
Trust me on this one. If you work ahead you will wear yourself out and never finish. Our homes did not get in their current shape in a week...you will most certainly not fix the problem in a few short days!
One more piece of advice- make it your goal to simplify your life- you will not regret it. Stuff all over our homes clutters our heads and our hearts. I have written a short series called Clearing Out the Clutter on that note that I encourage you to read if this is a struggle for you.
Good luck and Happy New Year! May this year be full of love and joy- and a house that reflects the peace of God, inside and out!
