Blitzing!

I read a lot of blogs on home making and crafting...I'd like to think that I take care of our home pretty well and that it's not dirty, sometimes I just get really busy. I look to the amazing people who post daily about their cleaning, cooking, baking, and crafting for inspiration in my home. I have learned a lot about making my house a home from them.
Of course, I also read the blogs of some of my friends, just so I know what's going on in their lives.

This Friday, I'm trying something new...It's called Blitz-It Friday!


You set a timer for one hour and try to get as much cleaning done as possible. Every Friday over at Organized Everyday, Organizing Mommy hosts a challenge to her readers to set a goal and see how much cleaning they can accomplish in the one-hour time limit. Here's the original rules for the one-hour blitz

So...today, I thought I would finally give it a try, as I do follow her blog daily and I keep saying I'll do it. Here's what I wanted to accomplish:

• Unload/Reload Dishwasher
• Handwash all dishes that cannot go into dishwasher
• Take out garbage
• Clean bathroom
• Dust Livingroom/Dining Room
• Put away all lose paperwork
  
• Clean off furniture
• Fold towels washed a couple days ago

Here are some pictures to show why things needed to be done!

I know...that's a lot to accomplish in an hour...but guess what?! I got it ALL done...except for folding the towels. But I got HALF the house clean! I am completely amazed at how much I can get done in an hour!
See how much better everything looks!!!

Whew! That was a ton of pictures! I told you it looks better! I think I might set my timer tomorrow while I'm home and see how much more I can get done!
I'll have to take some pictures of my different spring decorations that are around the house and share those, too.
