Well, I will let the mess if it means having my two precious kids exploring, creating and learning through their experiences and environment. But then again...I think there is room for improvement. Do I really need to keep so many of their precious baby clothes? Do I really need all of my late Mom/Dad's things?
So..
I have decided to start one room at a time; on top of the list is the "junk room". You know the room that everything gets thrown into that you have no idea where else to put it. The room with boxes of outgrown clothes, too big for the kids yet clothes, the books that will never get red again. That room!
Yesterday I began the "war on clutter" and sorted through the tubs and boxes, making a "garage sale" pile, "give-away" pile, "to store" pile and "to keep" pile. I worked on it all day, the room still doesn't look any better, but hey it is organized.
Today, I am trying to decide what to tackle first..do I move things to storage, load up my car with the "donate" pile or try to find some room to organize the items that are staying. In my head I am seeing the big picture and fantasizing on paint colors, light fixtures, and flooring. Stay on task Michaela! I tell myself or before I know it I will be on the computer searching for the perfect paint color.
Here is the "junk room". I know it looks like an episode from Horders.
Here is the "school room" part I finished yesterday.
I worked on the room for hours, and yet you can't really tell that I did anything. Know the feeling?
