Organizing Home & Life

I want to take time this winter to organize a few things around the house and a few things in my life. This year seems to have been kind of crazy. Not really sure where I lost control, but its time to reclaim my time and my energy. One of the best ways for me to do that is to get rid of the clutter. I am getting rid of the clutter in my schedule and the clutter around the house.

I spent time already re-prioritizing my schedule and I am feeling better about who I am and where I am suppose to be spending my time. I am a wife and mother first and foremost. The rest is frosting and I can add other activities again once I get some energy back.

There are a few areas around my house that are bothering me. My bedroom closet, my daughters closet, the laundry room, the basement (always) and the spice cupboard! I plan to post before and after pictures as I go from one spot to the next. Since I don't think anyone will read this, I am not going to worry about feeling bad posting the nasty before pictures. And, since I am such a procrastinator, I will start tomorrow.

Here are before pictures of the laundry room. . .







This should be interesting. . .maybe not for you, but it will be for me.
