31 day Challenge: Making your home a Haven


Oh to make my home a Haven. If you were to come into my home at any given time, I can tell you how it will be. The 3 season's room will be racked with toys. The living room will have my mini trampoline out, you might find a few stranded pieces of clothing left behind by my almost two year old. She is at that stage of stripping things off and then finding pretty skirts to put on.  The pillows that belong on the couch will be unorganized and possibly on the floor or stuffed in the corner. My computer desk will be cluttered with empty water bottles, books and other non essential items. I could go on. It seems like my list is never crossed off completely. I find that I will often take care of big things around the house and over look the smaller things. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed and decide to do nothing LOL.  So I am really looking forward to learning and reading and even being convicted in the area of my homekeeping. I already did todays challenge and I immediately can feel the difference. 

October 3 - Go buy an extra large candle and light a candle everyday in your home. I will be starting mine in the morning! But you can start yours at dinner time. Do what makes sense for your family. I will be placing mine in the kitchen – the main hub of my home. Each time the candle catches your eye, say a prayer for peace in your home.

What in the world is a 3 seasons room? I loved this weeks challenge. It's not easy keeping up with a house that has growing children occupying it, but as long as it is clean (sanitary) I say the rest is a bonus. You can do it. Love you!
