Super Sunday Challenge

I know I've been missing for a while. I spent a week in Michigan and school has been a bit nuts. I'm back now though and what better to come back with than this week's challenge! The challenges for a bit are going to be two part..one part cleaning, one part organizing. I'm down to less than 2 months before my move and I swear you can't even tell how much work I've done. It's amazing how much I've crammed into this place.

Cleaning : Ok, my focus for this week is dishes. Since I need to start packing them soon, I ought to track them all down. With the boys, you just never know where you're gonna find a spoon. So, the challenge is to find all those dirty dishes and to get them all washed up.

Organizing: Well, I know we've already done bookshelves, but since that's my packing goal right now, I'm going to be focused there. For all of you, how about board games? I'm going to challenge all of you to go through those old games, find out which are missing pieces, which you just don't play with and which ones you just could never get rid of. Then, freecycle, thrift or donate those that you don't want anymore.

Please let me know if you're participating! I'd love to feel like I'm not in this alone.

Hi there!
I am going to go through the games and the ones we do't play I am going to donate or put up to give away at cafemom.com.
I keep the dishes done so that is not much of a challlenge, but the book case is another matter.
Lol, I have a tendency to use it as a catch all. I am going to challenge myself to get the closet of crafts and the bookshelf organized.

a good place to get rid of books is swaptree.com I have been trading there for a while and have had no trouble. you list what you want to get rid of and then list what you would like. they do all the matching for you.you decide whether you want to trade or not.

I really oughtta check your blog a little more. I just did your Super Sunday Challenge without even knowing it. I have been wandering aimlessly around the house a lot lately, and this has led to dishes being all over the place when I take my meals on the go with me as it were. This morning I went dish hunting and put them all in the diswasher.
Most of my bookshelves are in good shape, but there is one in particular that is buggin me, so I will work on that one after work today.
