I’ve started giving myself 10 minute challenges. I set my timer for 10 minutes and tackle a household chore while my children are having a snack or lunch. It’s amazing how much you can accomplish in only 10 minutes when you focus on the task. The 10 minute challenge is a weekly feature on Mommies with Cents. Each week, I will show you one of the things I was able to accomplish in 10 minutes. I encourage you to join me- it really easy amazing what you are able to achieve, even if it’s incremental, if you set your mind (and timer!) to it!
Right now I’m finding it easier to keep my home more in order with three kids than with 2 and being pregnant. I have a lot more energy now than I did before and since Parker is still so little she sleeps most of the time. Still, some weeks are more about the actual CLEANING than organizing. So, this week with my 10 minutes I was able to tackle the dreaded chore of scrubbing toilets. I’ll spare you the photos! In 10 minutes I was able to clean our two upstairs toilets and the one downstairs.
I’ve got more organizing on the agenda so I’ll be back to that on Friday.
I’d love to hear ways you manage your time at home with kids. Please share your tips with me and our other readers by leaving a comment, then come back next week for another 10 minute challenge!

Thx for these posts. I recently started organizing my house so life won’t seem so chaotic. I tackled the kitchen pantry recently and feel good knowing where to find items and what’s in stock. I will try a 10 min project tonight.
