Home editors
As part of the job home-making, sometimes things need cleared out and paired down. So I'd like to add the job duties of HOME EDITING. It's important to the feeling of function as a household and PEACE.
Sometimes the best way to bless my home of a morning, is to spray down a sink and mirror in a bathroom and make the fixtures shine with a little microfiber mit. I make my own out of the microfiber (raw unhemmed) rags located in the automotive department at walmart.
The spray I use is Method. I love their scents--especially citrusy ones. When I spray some of that all purpose cleaner and wipe it up to make the bathroom shine and smell good, I feel I have been a blessing upon that area. However, sometimes there are altogether BIG steps in adding order to our family home.
Yesterday I dropped a load of old hangers and a few unworkable designs and kid outgrown clothes off at the local thrift shop. I haven't written about it lately but at stages it has been a huge part of my role in the keeping of our home.
I give away stuff. If it doesn't fit or isn't liked or won't support us in some kind of move we need (like out of a house across states for law school) we give it away. We have had big yard sales when we have high ticket or large type items. So we've made back a little on it. But then I discovered "It's Deductible" software to go along with our taxes. As long as I logged and noted each item in that system I could often save us $500 or more on taxes.
Now that last year the standard deduction more than doubled, I still tried to add it all up, but it came nowhere near the standard, so I've stopped keeping track of what I donate. If your tax deductions are around that standard amount when itemizing, it's worth tracking, though!
