Day 9 and 10 - 30 day cleaning challenge

I'm a day behind posting this as I had a great meeting with one of my coaches last night and enjoyed the day in the sun with my boys yesterday! So although I completed my assignment in the morning, I didn't do the blog post!

But! Here I am!!

Yesterday's assignment was: 

Surface clean a bedroom

One load of laundry

I chose Asher's room to clean cause it just needed a tidy.

Check it out: 

Clothes needing put away couple toys and items out of place. 

Too much stuff on the top of that dresser!

Crazy closet!  Probably can't even close the doors
 without kicking a few things in first!

After

So much better!  

I think the doors might close now without any force!

My little helpers!

Today's assigned is:

Deep clean living room (baseboards, dust, wipe tables)

One load of laundry

Asher helped me dust and do the baseboards using the dust mit! 

Look at that good kid!

yum.... yuck!  This was the heater behind the toy trunk....
we pulled it out and cleaned under and behind it!

I hardly had to do much for this assignment!
Love my helper boy!

This was a ring on the top of the fireplace glass top!
Got it off easy with my glass cleaning cloth from Norwex!
Seriously love that cloth!

For this whole assignment today I used norwex, and love that I didn't waste any paper towel!  I'm not trying to sell any norwex here... just excited :)

Tomorrow's assignment is:

• Clean Bathrooms!!!!!  
• One load of laundry

You might wonder why i'm so excited about cleaning the bathrooms.... it's because I need to clean the upstairs bathroom BAD!  That smell of pee has started to stink up my bathroom (darn boys) and I was tempted last night to just tear it apart and clean... I did do the bowl cause it was getting dingy but I knew this assignment must be coming up soon so I waited! Glad I did!!!  Tomorrow I will clean that stinky bathroom!!!

I'm off to make my breakfast!

Day 3 - 30 day cleaning challenge - surface clean kitchen and livingroom

Well... It's been an interesting few days!

Fraser had surgery scheduled yesterday morning so I did my bathroom cleaning the night before. We weren't sure how long we would be at the hospital and we ended up staying overnight in the PICU! That story in another post! 

So I got home this morning.... And boy... The kitchen was a mess!! It looked like my husband had washed a few dishes in the sink but hadn't unloaded the clean dishwasher so the dishes stacked up again! 

It wasn't a huge mess, just a dishwasher unload and reload but it looked worse! 

And not exactly what I wanted to come home to! 

But today's assignment was the perfect task, because my kitchen needed it and I would have done it anyways!

Today's Assignment

• Surface Clean living room and Kitchen: Pick up stray items, dust, sweep, vacuum. 
• One load of Laundry
• Get rid of 3 items (Donate or garbage)

I unloaded the dishwasher and tidied up a few random items which needed to go down stairs. 

I swept the floor and dusted the table, wiped the counter! 

 Put the recycle out and changed the garbage. 

Here are the after photos

Here are my 3 things to get rid of, actually found four items! Mostly stuff from the junk drawer... Syringe that doesn't work, smarties, coupon codes, old batteries. 

Now I'll have to fit in a few loads of laundry today because I finally had a chance go unpack the trailer from our camping trip and have extra laundry to do! Catch up time!!! 

All I can say is I'm glad my hubby brought my Shakeolgy and shaker cup to the hospital so I at least had a healthy breakfast this morning!


Tomorrow's Assignment is:

• Organize 3 closets, Cabinets or drawers in the home
• One load of Laundry

Day 2 - 30 Days of Cleaning Challenge - Clean Bathroom

I completed my cleaning assignment on Tuesday night since we are heading to the hospital bright and early Tomorrow for Fraser's surgery (undecended testie, common in premies). 

I had cleaned our bathroom on Thursday last week before we left for our camping trip so overall our bathroom was fairly clean. However, I am a mom of a 4 1/2 year old boy and I have to admit his aim some days is not so great (holds it too long). 

So I did discover a wet spot under my garbage can and a wet tissue next to it... Ewwww.... Boys are gross!

Here is the before shot from next to the toilet. Garbage filled with runny nosed kid tissues. 

Here is the after shot

Here is the before photo of the bathroom from the door way, toilet roll on the tank, garbage can full...

Here is the after shot, after I wiped down the counter, put the roll on the hanger, wiped the cupboards etc.

Don't you just hate these man shaving hairs! They are so hard to get rid of!  After  Gord shaves/trims he always wipes up the majority of the hairs but there always seems to be a few left behind! And he always seems to shave the day after I've cleaned the bathroom! 

And here was my nasty little suprise... Pee soaked Kleenex! Ewwww.... 

He (Asher) really is getting better about not holding it and going before he can't control the stream, but I still wipe the bottom of the garbage can every time I clean the bathroom and it's usually wet! 

Tomorrow's Assignment:

• Surface clean living room and Kitchen: Pick up stray items, dust, sweep, vacuum.
• One load of Laundry
• Get rid of 3 items (donate or garbage)

Day 1 - 30 day cleaning challenge - Clean bedroom

Today I'm starting the 30 days of cleaning challenge. 

Today's assignment is: 

• Clean bedroom - dust, sweep, vaccume, put away stray items, bedding. 
• One load of Laundry

I'll be doing one load of laundry each day which helps me keep on top of the laundry rather than having a big daunting laundry day.

I spilled formula powder on the bed in the middle of the night so this assignment was needed! It was in the floor and sheets! Gross!!! 

I started pulling the bed apart and forgot to take a before photo so I started with a mid way photo of the bed. 

Asher was having a show when I started! 

Here is the before photo of the dresser. 

After a little tidying and dusting with my dust mit ( love that thing!)

After

All the dog hair and dirt I swept up...

The mostly made bed with kids and dog making it impossible to make the bed properly hehe

Assignment #1 done! Now off to have my shake and do one load of laundry!

Tomorrow's Assignment will be: 

• Surface Clean the Bathrooms - Sinks, counters, surfaces wiped down, toilets, sweep floors.
