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!
I really like the Take n Toss cups for kids. The lids stay on, there are no stoppers to lose and they are cheap to replace when your kid chews on the spout. My cupboard seems to be breeding random cups and lids and it has been driving me nuts when I open the cupboard and one thing or another tumbles out. Organizing this cupboard is a quick and easy task but as usual, I keep putting it off…until now. Here’s what it looked like before:
And after:
I tossed all of the chewed on lids and cups that no longer had lids to match. Now I don’t have to worry about getting hit in the head with a cup when I open the cupboard. One more thing check off my list in 10 minutes or less….
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!
