World War II references aside, the method that Organizing Mommy, Jena, uses to accomplish a lot of housework in a little time really does work. If the name makes you think of frantically running from room to room, silently hoping the timer doesn’t go off before you get the chairs back down from the kitchen table, this week is for you – this week is about a new kind of blitz – the plod. :)
For several months while I was pregnant I could not be on my feet for very long, so housework got done in ten minute increments. I just took my first blitz challenge however, and found that work which I thought would take hours, took only one. I swept and mopped the kitchen, dining room and living room. I put away tools and toys and books. I washed a chair cover and tidied the mantle.
Check out more housework blitzes here.

Yeah!! Good job. I am unworthy to have you taking my ideas so seriously. Bless you, child. Nothing about world wars going on except what’s getting swept up by the broom. It think that was a blitzkreig or something? Yes, I’m that dumb about history.

Haven’t “seen” you around. Hope everything is going well. Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement. The Lord is opening doors and conversation is going on.

Great work! That is what I love about blitzing – with some determined focus, so much work can be accomplished in a short period of time! Hope to see you around the Friday Blitz again soon!
