    Oh, the creep of all the piles of papers that should be nicely organized in the office.. creeping to the bedroom, to the flat surfaces, to drawers. It’s like a cluttervirus.

    In my house it’s the top and the bottom that need simplifying – the kids’ bedrooms and the basement. Both hold so many toys and other goodies that they just go hand in hand and I don’t know which to tackle first!

    The area of my life that could use some un-complicating is my basement! It’s become a total stash area – everything that doesn’t have a place gets crammed in with the rest of the junk down there. I need to organize it badly as we have a new baby on the way and need to move our office downstairs so our current office can be turned into a nursery! Right now there’s no room!

    KEEP IT SIMPLE! and organize my house!!! Actually, last spring for lent I did a “40 bags in 40 days” challenge where you declutter 1 bag at a time. I did it with a bunch of facebook friends~ anyways- I’m trying it again for January, but could use some motivation and help with actually organizing. I can declutter and get rid of stuff, but then I don’t know how to keep it that way! This might help!!
