Controlling the Chaos Month 5 Days 122-152 Outdoors and the Garage

Way to go! If you have been following along your kitchen is done! Not only is the “Chaos” controlled you have implemented plans to keep it that way. It’s clean, efficient and should lead to a much less hectic lifestyle (especially with the menu plan in place).

This month we are tackling our flower beds, gardens, garages, driveways and patios. If you do not have these items feel free to focus on another area in your home. We chose May to tackle these projects since it is the beginning of summer and temperatures and just beginning to rise.
