Begin the New Year Organized

The Linen Closet

We continue with the 21-Day Challenge.  Today is day #4 - The Linen Closet.  


Getting bored of my posts about my house & my crap?  I know, I know....but until I get my house organized, how am I supposed to make honest posts about tips & tricks to cleaning & the household, if I, myself, am a total mess?!  If you have any dis-organization, have too much clutter, or just can focus or think straight because you have too many things 'to do;, then I encourage you to take the challenge!  It really helps.  It takes 21 days to form a habit.  We're trying to form a habit of organizing.  Keeping things neat and in their place so that you can find them.  It's kind of hard to dust & vacuum, if there is so much clutter, you can't get to what you want to clean.  If you too want to challenge yourself to 21 days of organization, feel free to comment here, or post on the House-wise facebook page.  We'd love to hear your trials & tribulations regarding your stuff!

Day 3 & 5 of the 21-Day Challenge

So, I'm still working on that A Bowl Full of Lemon's 21-Day Challenge.  And boy, am I!  My house is a disaster... I'm practically doing all 21 organizational projects at once!  My family keeps tripping over things, and it looks horrendous, but my hubby says, "It's OK, because the finished product looks awesome."  Ain't that sweet....even though I know in his head he's saying, "Wow! There's alot of crap everywhere!"  I know I'm supposed to be doing one a day, but I get....neurotic. Ambitious.  Crazy!  I'll start one, and get a little tired of it, so I'll start another, get a little bored, and go back to the first, etc.  I have many projects going at once, yet I have finished more than I thought possible in seven short days!

Week #1 Challenge - Household Binder

I'm finally posting Weekly Challenge #1, The Home Management Binder, from "A Bowl Full of Lemons".  It's taken me some time because I think I have re-done the notebook 4 or 5 times since starting.  I just couldn't get the right 'feel' or 'look' I wanted.

So, if you haven't read any of my previous blog entries, you are probably asking, "What is she talking about?!" Well, in trying to simplify, organize & clean, I have taken on A Bowl Full of Lemon's Weekly Challenge.  Week #1 is to get a Home Management Binder working.

Day 2 of the 21-Day Challenge

What happened to day #2 challenge you ask?  Did I give up already?  No.  The second day of the 21-day challenge I've dedicated myself to doing is the top of the computer desk.


Day #2 ~ Getting Organized Challenge (The Computer Desk)


However, I don't have a computer desk.  Both my hubby & my laptops sit on laptop stands...no surface area to hold any junk or to clean.  Our two desktops are hooked up to the TV's...again, no desktop to clean.  But, I didn't dismiss the day!  I took day #2 to go shopping for baskets, and bins, and folders (for the Weekly Challenge).


Today, I will do Day #3....The Tupperware cabinet.  I'll post that when I'm done with it later today.


I hope some of you have checked out A Bowl full of Lemons and started your own 21-Day Challenge!


Thanks for reading my thoughts! <3

"Make yourself at home"

The 21-Day Challenge

Simplify  *  Organize

So, to continue on my 'New Year's resolutions', I found this blog, "A Bowl Full of Lemons"  On Jan. 1st she started something called "The 21-Day Challenge".  It has to do with simplifying, organizing & cleaning.  Hey, right up my alley! So, I've stepped up to the challenge.  Easy peasy. It's 21 days of pre-determined steps, to get you started on the lifestyle change of a more 'breathable' home.

So, I started with day #1 today, "The Junk Drawer".  OK, I'll be honest, a couple of months ago I already did the junk drawer, so I decided to tidy it up a bit, and also do the 5 other kitchen drawers!  During the last month, I had simplified these drawers already, donating doubles & unused items, which made my task one step shorter.

Here we go....
