    KEEP IT SIMPLE!

    Oh good Heavens – my whole house is a mess right now, but my ongoing battle is with my kitchen. My eyes actually narrowed as I typed that. We have no pantry cabinet and therefore, limited storage.

    I need some serious help in the de-cluttering department, as well as a kick in tush to organize my closets…yes plural…as this girl has WAY too many clothes and likes to keep them for years even if they haven’t seen the daylight in those said years…it’s sad, I might be on my way to full-fledged hoarding status…but I can’t part with them esp if they’re in good condition and still wear-able…so I need to find a better way to organize & contain the insanity :) This would be of utmost help…thanks & happy new year :)

    I think I could simplify just about every area in my house. I’d like to start with the basement so I can set up a play area for my kids and not have to worry about them getting into a bunch of stuff that we have stored down there.

    I’m definitely a clutter person…I try to keep it under control (it’s not dirty, just cluttered), but we have a spare bedroom that’s loaded and our basement is packed…and no matter what my bookshelves never look perfectly tidy…

    I’d love to whip our basement into shape. We had a flood down there last month and ever since all of our stuff is in the garage and guest room. I’d love to spend the time paring it down and organizing it properly, getting rid of the stuff I know I don’t need and will never look at again (high school and college notebooks – I’m looking at you!)

    And I’ve taken one of the Simplify 101 courses (“It’s About Time”, discussing planning and making the most of your 24 hour bucket) and it was great! I got so much life-change out of it!
