Blitz-It Friday

Organized Everyday is hosting a new carnival called Blitz-it Friday. If you have no idea what a blitz is, check out the original one hour blitz and staying focused.

Wow. I haven't blitzed in such a long time. Now I'm just a little late posting about it. We are finally settled enough in our new home to be ready and desperate for a good cleaning blitz. On Friday, I set my timer and started moving as fast as I could.

I started in the kitchen with this mess:

Here's what I did in the first 45 minutes of my blitz:

• Unloaded the dishwasher
• Loaded the dishwasher and turned it on
• Cleared off the kitchen table
• Hand washed the pans
• Wiped the counters and stove
• Swept the kitchen floors

And here was the result:

Next I turned my attention to the kid's room, which they had torn apart earlier in the day.

Here's what I did in the last 15 minutes:

• Put away clean laundry
  
• Made the kid's beds
  
• Folded and put away the kid's clothes
  
• Vacuumed the hall, living room, kid's room
  

And here was the end result.

The timer started to beep just as I put away the vacuum cleaner.

What a great hour of blitzing!
