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
