A girlfriend of mine gave me this idea that I tweaked and just had to share with you. The Lenten season began last week but didn't we just celebrate Christmas and New Year's?!?! I'm not sure how time flies faster and faster every year. In case you are not familiar with Lent it is the season between Ash Wednesday and Easter. Lent is a time for prayer, fasting and almsgiving. This idea focuses on almsgiving which is donating your time, talent or treasure. You remove one item from your household every day of Lent to donate at Easter (donating your "treasure"). My plan is to donate from my closet, dresser and items around the house but also to involve my girls. I will be asking them to select items from their toys or clothes at least once a week. At the end of Lent you will have nearly 50 items to donate to your favorite charity of choice. Keep your "treasure donation box" somewhere out of the way but in a place where everyone in your house can see it and so as to be reminded to add to it every day.
This kills a few birds with one stone; spring cleaning, almsgiving and teaching your children about the importance of giving back. I'm going to use this to spark me to purge and organize all the closets in my house. I suggest finding one item every day but then at Easter taking it to another level and doing a deep clean/purge. By Easter you will have decluttered and organized your closets and drawers. I don't know about you but purging our house gives me a refreshed and clean feeling.
Without finding the best cleaning company you cannot expect to get a beautiful house and if you really don’t have any idea which one is the best cleaning company at that time you can go for Ajax cleaning services without any tension because they are too good in their work.
