My first official participation in the One Room Challenge has come to a conclusion. My office is complete … for now. They funny thing was, when I first learned about this challenge from my friend Jessica at Instagrahamhome I thought (we both thought) oh man, eight weeks is so long! Well guess what, it wasn’t long enough. The things we learn along the way I guess.
I learned that next time around I need to have a better plan in place and perhaps even a timeline – as much of a timeline as my little ones will let me have. I believe there is another One Room Challenge in the fall (when kids are in school – hopefully).
Regardless of all that I had so much fun doing this, I really do love my space and look forward to waking up early to come work in it for a while (before those children I mentioned wake up). I’m going to go ahead a link the blog posts to all eight weeks below:
ORC – Week 1
ORC – Week 2
ORC – Week 3
ORC – Week 4
ORC – Week 5 & 6
ORC – Week 7
