Purging, refreshing, renewing.  I think they call this ‘Spring Cleaning’.  My inspiration was this blog challenge:   40 Bags in 40 Days.

Confession:  I have not moved out a bag a day, exactly, but I have done this:

• Made several donation trips.
• Filled my trash bin each week.
• Explored the nearby recycle center…and am building a routine for it.

Result:  My house is looking visibly better, with two weeks left to go in the challenge.

These past two months of non-blogging have been full of personal highs and lows.  I have a family member staying with me while he gets back on his feet.  If you ever get the chance to really get to know a sibling again, don’t pass it up.  ❤

About the recycle center.  It is leading to a permanent change in this household.  Stay tuned for more details…

And now the new challenge is:  April Challenge: 30 days of biking

‘Day 1’ of the bike challenge is in the books, with a bicycle trip to the recycle center.  See what I did there?  I checked off two boxes in one day. *grin*
