Bless Your Little...Home





Home blessings are quick clean-ups.  Seeing your home clean-ish or tidy-ish is a blessing you give yourself, your family and your home. And the sight of some flowers or some lacey curtains is a blessing and a joy!





Total Home Blessing:

clear kitchen table and counters                                                   
feather dust common rooms quickly
sweep or vacuum lightly
spot mop kitchen
swipe toilets with throwaway rags
clean counters and mirrors if necessary
patrol hot spots:
    kitchen table
    kitchen desk
    school table
                                                         mail pile/file
                                                         computer desk in family room
                                                        desk in bedroom



Routines

~Routines make blessing easier~

Morning routine: after breakfast and before school
  calendar check-is there anything going on today?
  kitchen check
         dishes washed?
         table and counters clear?

 15 minute declutter
 kids make bed and brush teeth

Lunchtime routine: after lunch and before school resumes

  kitchen check
            dishes washed?
            table and counters clear?
  15 minute declutter

  kids-lunch chores and brush teeth

Bedtime routine: before snuggling into that cozy warm bed
  kitchen check
            dishes washed?
            table and counters clear?
  kids-lay out clothes if necessary (church, scouts, homeschool co-op, special day) and brush teeth
