Some call me organized, other OCD. Somehow I manage to keep my house sparkling clean and everybody happy. I only have one child. I think that it would be the same whether I had one or ten. I just would sleep a whole lot less.
Something is bothering me, though.......Those places that no one ever sees. Closets and storage areas. That is my downfall. I spend so much time cleaning the main areas of the house, I just don't have the time to get to those other areas.
I was over at Organizing Junkie and she has a great 8-week plan for organization that I have taylored to my needs. So far, so good. One week down and I am already feeling great about it.
Instead of cleaning every room, everyday. I have decided to clean and thoroughly organize each space as I clean that room. For example, yesterday, I cleaned the office, but I also took everything out of the closet and got rid of a ton of stuff. I also did the same in Madi's room over the weekend. Last night, I did the guest bath and pulled everything out from under the cabinet. You would be surprised at the things that have accumulated in the two and a half years since we built this house.
Today is my bedroom and bathroom. This may be a two day project since I have a large walk-in closet that is in shambles.
I may post before and after pictures when I get a minute.

I am with ya. I got my bathrooms, my closet, the classroom closet and book shelves, Madi's room and my van. Now I have my room, the living room (entertainment center)and the kitchen. I do feel a bit overwhelmed, though. It has been a week and now I feel that I need to clean the rooms again. I didn't do a thing yesterday and probably won't get anything done today since we are heading out about lunch time then back home to cook dinner.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great plan Stacy...Yes..let's see pictures!
ReplyDeleteI "allow" myself ONE junk drawer in the kitchen. Somehow the kids think that it's theirs too.
Love this blog!
