Express Happy House Challenge Plus - Week 1!

Ok, so I have to admit, this challenge is going to be hard for me. Here is the post on what we were SUPPOSED to accomplish this week.
1. Make the bed: 3/7



2. Empty the sink: 1/7 - but at least it's empty now!



Completed
Not Completed

  • Clean out the cupboards- interiors and exteriors

  • Wipe down all appliances (the coffee pot is new due to my swollen throat this week)

  • Clean windows

  • Clean blinds/drapery

  • Clean out fridge

  • Clean out pantry this is half done and half not because I did reorganize my food pantry but I still have alot more rearranging that I need to do before I am done.

  • Deep clean counters and small appliances

  • Deep clean floors and garbage/recycling containers


  • Now, before I post these pictures, I ask you PLEASE do not judge me. I have a newborn, (technically a 3 month old but she's still very needy at times) I've been sick this week, and we had just gone grocery shopping.

    Before:




    After:



    Now I still have alot to do, and I didn't post an after pic of the wall with the trash can, because frankly...it didn't change. I am planning on taking down the "bill holder" that we don't use, getting (when we have the money) a hanger for my ironing board and iron, and a hanger for the broom and mops. The trash can has to be wiped down on the outside. (I just cleaned the inside earlier this month)

    Now I AM going to keep myself accountable and finish the tasks that are in red later this week in ADDITION to the new room on the docket.

    2. No judging here Rachael! You've done a great job so far, especially for having a new little one. My little gal is 4.5 months and boy did she make it hard to finish the week's challenge. Hang in there, you can do it!
