What I'm Doing for Lent

I wanted to share what I’m doing for Lent this year, in case you wanted to join me or needed an idea!

See my favorite Easter bread recipe, HERE.

I did this same thing for Lent last year and loved it so I wanted to do it again this year.

Happy March! March feels like we are making big steps towards springtime which I love! I also love the Easter season! The promise of rebirth and new life is so invigorating.

Last year, I decided to go through 40 different areas of our home to organize, purge, and donate. It felt so good and satisfying that I want to do it again this year. I thought I would share on here too in case you are looking to do something similar and need some ideas of what spaces to do.

I hope this list gives you some suggestions. If not for Lent, at least for some spring cleaning ideas!

40 SPACES TO ORGANIZE FOR LENT

In no particular order, here are the 40 different areas I plan to go through this season and I’m so excited! Obviously you would switch out ones that make sense for you and your family. If you have more or less kids, if you have more or less bathrooms, etc.

I like to break it down really simply so that I am not overwhelmed with a new task each day. This is why you will see 3 days for the basement and 2 days for the garage, the kids play room broken down into several days, and more.
