Spring Cleaning Challenge - Day 12, Kitchen Floors

Wow! Tomorrow your kitchen will be clean! No more grease! No more dried food particles! What a fantastic feeling! My oven is cranked up to 500 degrees as we speak, and It does not smell pretty! I am catching up on yesterday's task and wow, did it ever need it. The oven has been smoking all week, because of something that got spilled in the bottom. I am excited to finish up in the kitchen and move on to more cozy rooms. Tomorrow's challenge (or if you're like me, and your are catching up and getting ahead...today's challenge!) we will be scrubbing our floors. Now, your age, ability, floor size, and determination will be the deciding factor on how you clean your floor.

CHALLENGE:
Scrub every nook and cranny of your kitchen floor. If you are feeling strong and amazing today- pull out the refrigerator and clean under it too! I have a very, very small amount of kitchen floor space and my preferred method will be to get on my hands and knees with a scrub brush and rag and scrub my heart out! A good sweep and mop job will be fine as well, just make sure you move any moveable items and get ALL of the dirt!

Do you prefer to clean the kitchen or the bathroom? Do you clean several items a day? Or do you stick with one task a day?

How to Make Your Apartment More Homey - Part 5

Welcome to part 5 of my mini series "How to Make Your Apartment More Homey". Once you get a grasp on the first four topics you've really got something going for you. These last two steps are definitely not the meat of the problem. Today we will focus on - The Color Palette. A little bit of color theory wouldn't hurt anyone. I realize that we are alway feeling the need to try something new and be a little different. It's called fashion, and that's okay. Be different! Make a statement! It's good to try something new. But if it's ugly just say so, don't lie to save your pride. Your pride has already been painted all over that new yellow couch! You can google a basic color wheel and the different ways to pair the colors or most people have an eye for what looks good together. It's usually a good thing to stick with the same hue (bold with bold, or pastels with pastels, and burnt colors with burnt colors) but even that isn't alwa...

2025 Reading Challenge

Today Rural Simplicity is bringing you a Reading Challenge for the new year! 25 Books in 2025. This is a very personalized list that came about when my favorite reading challenge people didn't put out a reading challenge for next year. I plopped myself down in front of my large TBR (to be read) stack and started making a list of categories. I am going to walk you through my list in comparison to my TBR stack to give you an idea of where you could start. But like any good reading challenge you will nudge it this way and that to fit your needs and lifestyle. One thing I would not recommend is fitting it to your likes. One point of a reading challenge is to broaden your perspective and get you out of your comfort zone. One last point to address is that it's okay to not finish the challenge by December 31st. Again your goal is to read, not finish, or rush, or stress out. Just read and enjoy. Let it soak in slowly and cons...

Spring Cleaning Challenge Day 6 Psalm 51:10

Welcome to your first day of rest. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day that should be put aside to worship the Lord and to rest your body from physical activity. Each Sunday we will meditate on a verse that reflects having a clean heart. Because we all know that a spotless house doesn't make us truly happy. Only a clean heart can keep a smile on our faces. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. What does a clean heart look like? Who judges wether the heart is clean or not? Who cares about your heart more than anyone else? Just like we have been pulling out our furniture this week looking for dust bunnies, take a moment to pull out the furniture in your life and look for "Me" bunnies. Search out your heart for selfish things you've tucked away, whether it be a secret, a personal pleasure, a blatant sin, or an old heartache. When you've found them, take them all one by one and lay them out in a straight row in front of...
