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!
It’s spring and flu season is ending but many of us a gearing up for spring cleaning. One thing that often gets over looked (at least in our house) is switch plates. We touch them all of the time and they are probably covered in germs but it’s the last thing I usually think of to clean. The next time you are able to squeeze in a 10 minute task, consider cleaning your switch plates!
If you’ve got Clorox wipes or something similar, those work great. Or you can do what I did. I used my Vinegar/water/dish soap solution and my Windex Microfiber cloth from Libman which also works great and kills germs without chemicals. Plus, the cloths are washable- it is Earth Month after all!
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!
