First, a bit late but Happy New Year everyone! The boys are officially back to school today and while I enjoyed the break and being able to spend time with them, I am thrilled to have our usual routine back. This means while they are in school, I can have(well if Cheyenne cooperates) more time to organize! I know I am not the only being inspired by Marie Kondo’s Tidying Up series on Netflix.

 I am always thrilled to purge at the start of the year, but watching the series is even more of a motivator to get it done. 

viaWhilst my kitchen isn’t in as bad a shape as I’ve seen in the series, it is probably our messiest space as it is the most used. My problem with this area is I will get it all tidy and organized but it doesn’t last. I intend to find a system that works to cut down on the clutter once and for all. I want to make Marie proud!

I have been tackling the clothes organization and initially struggled with the caress/thank you part of the process. I just wanted to toss the clothes I didn’t want into the donate pile and get it over with. However, I am sticking to the process. Are you also on an organizational spree? I’ll keep you posted on my progress. xx
