Just like everywhere else, its hard to get everything done around here that we want. And we've had the habit of talking about doing something, particularly projects around the house and cleaning / organizing for weeks and weeks and never doing it. Since I am not the tidiest of people and my husband is well... even less tidy, its always been a struggle. Most recently, our few good habits have gone out the window and our status as responsible adults who could take care of our home was quickly diminished. It was getting embarrassing.
But more recently, we have been much more disciplined about this. About every couple weeks or so we have been having a day just for projects... making things easier, more accessible, more organized, and easier to keep track of.
And its been a ton of fun! Our house is getting cleaner and more organized, we've built some things to make life easier...
Slowly we are making progress on all those things we meant to do. I will keep you updated as the projects continue with posts around the following subjects:
Operation Organization
Crazed Cleaning
Delightful de-cluttering
Useful Up-cycling
We'll make our way through every room, closet, cabinet and cranny to see how far we've come and how far we have to go. I expect it to be a great series for anyone else who just wonders to themselves: "How has it gotten this bad? Where do we start?"
Here's a sneak peak of the type of things we've done and I will be writing about soon:
In recent weeks, we have created a menu planning system, organized the car, started a chore cycle, built two different utilitarian carts, and slowly but surely: we are seeing progress!
I hope you will join me in the coming posts to hear about all the great things we are doing to live a more organized, clean, and easy house life.
