An Organized Home

I'm a pretty organized person. Even with 3 kids I think I've held it together pretty well. Ok, most days I hold it together. Some I just let it go . . .

Anyway, I have decided to get things more organized in my home. We've lived here in this house 2 years now and I feel like most things were just put in a closet so they could be unpacked, not necessarily because they went there. Now, of course, we have expanded our stuff and our needs have changed. Our game closet used to have a few grown-up games but now our kids have their own games so that space is crammed. Our hall closet and pantry are so confusing I can't even begin to describe what issue is the biggest problem there. UGH.

However, I only get a little done at once and have very little motivation when I have down time.

So. Here's my solution: I've got a friend that's just as nuts about organization as I am!! She and I are going to help each other out by going to each other's houses and helping clean out and organize. We have both started on our pantries separately and done a pretty good job. (Pictures to come.)

Next week, we are getting together here and working on one of my many projects. I'm so pumped!!

A wonderful quote my organized friend found for me: "If a home doesn't make sense, nothing does." I feel it. Do you?

PS: Here's some websites to motivate you!!
