| Well, about two years ago we went through every inch of our house and organized it & REALLY cleaned it. It was a goal of mine to do that every year. well, with all the foster care stuff last year we didn't get it done. So, I started witht he kids toys last night and it felt great! DH and I got a BIG box of toys for the Goodwill and today I am starting in the kitchen...deep cleaning and organizing. I will go through the entire house...room by room  The kids will help, so it will be fun |

| I did the living room before putting the tree up. I do still have to clean the carpets but it would take forever this time of year for them to dry. I am doing the kitchen and bathroom on Saturday and the kids have slowly been going thru their toys. The older girls did their rooms last week. I really need to do this to our trailer and shed

| Nice job, Kim. I love it when things are organized and the clutter is gone.
I started transferring our Christmas ornaments into those plastic snap together totes that you can buy just for ornaments. Once we put our Christmas decorations away, the closet we store them in will be cleaned out. We're going to systematically clean the closets during the winter. I want to see wide open space in the closets, and not junk. |

| kim, it's great that the kids are helping too.
I'm always organizing, re-organizing, decluttering, etc....feels great to offload! 
I never seem to run out of things to re-organize...lol.
