A NEW MONTH RENEWS MOMENTUM:
With each new month, the cyclic routine of housework starts again, and with it comes renewed momentum to add to what was done the month before. It’s not just another month; it’s a new month, and even though many housework goals are the same, it still feels good to accomplish those goals; and each accomplishment builds momentum to continue making home the best it can be.
