My friend Lori and I were driving home together last night from a 4-H food scavenger hunt at Central Market, and we got to talking about being in a house keeping rut. We had just stuffed ourselves with Sushi and were feeling pretty good, but this house thing was bothering both of us. She said her house was out of control, and I mentioned that I needed to get my house around for company this weekend. We left off the conversation with a half- hearted promise to do better and get things whipped into shape. Well, I got up this morning moving slower than normal and just feeling blah. So, I came up with this challenge. It is not intended to be a full house cleaning challenge…just a jump start to get the engine running. It made me laugh, and I texted my friend to see if she was down. Because of her schedule, we are going to do this tomorrow. That got me to thinking. Maybe the ladies who read my blog would like to get in on the fun! So, if this is something that you think is doable, send it to a friend, or maybe a few friends, and have fun together getting ready for the weekend. Feel free to customize your own challenge, make it your own.
It’s on tomorrow…you and me Lori!
I challenge you to a Housewife challenge, a silly insane game that has no winner:
General Rules:
Text to begin each challenge.
Text after you finish each challenge.
No cheating…(like getting the kids to help, or stuffing stuff under beds, couches, or in ovens.)
Level 1: An entire home rescue pick up.
Here are the rules:
- You can only spend 10 minutes each of 3 rooms.
- Send a picture to your opponent of the “before” of each room before the timer begins.
- When the timer goes off send an “after” shot of the same room.
- Start the music and turn it up loud.
- When the timer goes off clean like mad.
When we are done with this phase of the game we level up.

A Chime of Hearts 
I love this idea! My sister and I will sometimes text each other five things that we want to accomplish in a day to see how we do!
