Happy New Year! Did you make any resolutions? I want to conquer the clutter and organize. We're close to starting the 6th year in this house. I just finally got curtains for our bedroom. We've painted every room in the house except one. So what to do now? Organize!
Since both boys have started school, I feel like there is a constant flow in of papers, projects, and assorted junk! It is hard to decide what to pitch and what to keep. When Alex was in preschool, I started a container of papers in the basement that are scrapbook worthy. (if I ever get around to scrapbooking, that is). I read somewhere to start a box for each child and put all the papers in it for the year, then go through it at the end of the year to decide what to keep. I may try this but will probably end up doing my week to week pitch approach.
I also have a room of doom. Don't you? It was formerly our office but became my office/room that I throw odds and ends when visitors come over after Jeff made an office in the basement. Chase also sleeps in there when I babysit. I am working to make that into a nice usable workspace.
Well, I'd better stop blogging and get to organizing. Wish me luck. I may need someone to rescue me from the piles of stuff.
