It’s February and that means it’s time for a new challenge!
Are you and your kids going stir crazy yet? The weather here is still pretty frigid, so we’ve been spending most days inside. As I type this, the boys are wrestling in the living room, while Sophie dumps out her blocks for the tenth time today. And me? I’m looking around at all.the.stuff. The clutter, the toys, the laundry…I’m craving simplicity and order in a big way.
With that in mind, I’ve decided that February is the month for organization. I’m hoping to work past the “I’m so overwhelmed, I don’t know where to start” feelings and dive in somewhere. Because some beats none, right?
My challenge:
I’m going to follow the prompts from Money Saving Mom’s 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home series. The plan is a mix of decluttering, deep cleaning and organizing and I think it’s just what I need to start getting the house how I’d like it. I’ll be checking in on the blog every Thursday with my progress.
+ Follow the House Organization Diet: The 31 Day Detox.
+ Take out all of your children’s clothing and organize by size.

+ Head to the store and buy those baskets/plastic bins that you’ve been “meaning to buy” for months.
+ Take out every piece of clothing in your closet and only put back the ones you love.

+ Follow Clean Mama’s #clutterfree30 Challenge and post your work on Instagram.
