A couple of years ago I participated in Mama Jenn's Mission of the Month. I found when I was actively participating that I accomplished so much more. I don't know why I stopped, just that I did. I just feel off the wagon so to speak.
If you are just now following my blog, let me catch you up to speed. Mission of the Month was started by Mama Jenn in hopes that we can use our blogs to motivate ourselves and others. We are to make a list of our goals (aka missions) we would like to accomplish for a month - just for one month. At the end of the month, we share with others in the group whether we succeeded or were a complete failure. It has been really great to read what others have posted and it has also given me ideas as to what I could/should accomplish in the future.
My missions for this month revolve around my daughter's bedroom. We will be having 3 additional kiddos stay with us in the middle of November and I want to make sure her room is cleaner and more organized.
- Go through clothes - The daughter is growing like a weed. I have discovered that many of her clothes don't fit or are just on the verge of being outgrown. She also has a number of "favorites" and I need to rotate them. Instead of the clothes being hung up or folded and put away, her clothes are folded but laying out. Sometimes she doesn't know if they are clean or not.
- Fix game cabinet doors - The cabinet doors have been broken for years. All they need is some plexi-glass to fill the empty spaces or some plywood. Once this is accomplished during Christmas break I would love to paint but that will be a mission for another month!
- Go through the toys - She has toys galore and with her birthday and Christmas coming up we really need to pair down her "stuff". She's growing up and really needs a "big girl" room. I have a plan, lets just hope she goes along with it.
- Clean out the closet - I'm not sure that the closet has ever been cleaned out. Well at least not in a very long time! She only uses one side for clothes - the other side is storage for blankets and other odds and ends. Things that most likely can go to storage but for some reason they are here.
- Buy new sheets - Her bed is a trundle bed and has only one set of sheets for the extra long twin. We really need to get two sets that match. I'd also like to get a plastic cover to go under the sheets. Last time we had a sleepover, we had a kiddo get sick in the bed and cleaning it up was a nightmare!!
