Cleaning up in 2011

"This is the year," I keep telling myself, "This is the year we'll get it together."

What's the "it"?  Our house and garage.

After 6 years of survival cleaning and just making do--since the birth of our older son--we finally have a little more time to get ourselves organized.

We're talking:

  • 6 years of shoving stuff under the bed and in the closet
  • 6 years of throwing stuff into the garage
  • 6 years of tucking papers into file cabinets, folders, and boxes
  • 6 years of things just wandering around the house: scattering to corners, collecting in piles, languishing in drawers


Since our house is on the smallish side, 6 years of "stuff", can really add up and cramp our living space.  But this is the year to tackle some of our big organizational problems.  It's 2011 and here we go.

The first step?  Getting rid of stuff.

More on that later....

Shalom y'all!
