    Keep It Simple . . .I could use organization in most of my house, especially cupboards and closets. I tend to shove things in, close the door and ignore. Wish I could get organized with out investing in lots of tubs and bins etc.

    My bathroom and toiletries need uncomplicating. I tend to keep tons of different products that I use a little of and never touch again, but refuse to get rid of. In the next month, I plan on cleaning out my cabinets and throwing everything out.

    My clothes really need to be simplified. I have been keeping clothes that still (mostly) fit, but which I never wear and don’t like. I’ve done a lot of purging in the past, but I need to be more brutal in the coming year.

    KEEP IT SIMPLE! I could use a pile of help in straightening out the “junk cabinet” in my kitchen. Yes, the “junk drawer” grew up and now it is a whole cabinet — old keys, sunscreen, art supplies, phone books, school lunch menus, hole punches, coupons, you name it. Gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.
