    The area that could use the most un-complicating are our bills and mail! They pile up and are everywhere! I’m afraid to get rid of stuff because it could be important and they end up in messy, paper-filled drawers!

    My closet could use some un-complicating! It is a small space and I am not very good at using my space to its full potential. My closet is disorganized and part of my problem i not being able to get rid of those clothes I haven’t worn in years or that don’t fit anymore. I keep thinking if I get rid of something it will be that one thing that comes back into style!

    Our basement could use some serious attention. We still have stuff in boxes from when we moved (ummmm 3 years ago), plus we have clothes that our baby girl has grown out of as well as hand me downs from her cousins that she hasn’t grown into yet. Thankfully our basement is full sized and only used for storage!

    I could use some help in the garage. It “should” be the hub of all our projects…instead we sadly end up with tools scattered across the whole house…a little path from the garage to every single project we have going.

    I could definitely use this prize. I try to keep organized but I can also be a slight bit of a hoarder (what if I want to see that ticket stub from 5 years ago…) so organizing everything is a challenge.

    Happy New Year to you all!! Burger too :)
