Clutter

I hate clutter. And since having lived in the same house now for 7 years and 3 kids later, we have clutter. I think moving every few years is probably good to get rid of it. Because now it has slowly crept up on me. I'm learning to donate, give away or throw more and more. The problem is finding the time to actually get rid of it all. Everytime I start in one room I have to stop to do something for the kids. I wish I could just have some clean sweep people come in and take it all out...LOL Especially paper clutter and toy clutter. That's probably the biggest issue. Anyhow...my goal is to get rid of it all....before the end of the year.

ME TOO! I get frustrated when there is a lot of clutter. I cleaned out 2 big closets in the foyer/hall area and I had SEVEN bags of trash! SEVEN! It was ridiculous all the things I was keeping that I had NO use for. I also have tons a books I want to donate from in there too.

I used to love that one show Mission:Organization! Decluttering is one of my resolutions so Im trying to tackle it like one room or closet at a time. *sigh*

You are so funny! When we had tv I was addicted to those kinds of shows. I just love the before and after...and the fact that those peoples houses looked A LOT worse than mine. Always made me feel like I was on top of things in a way...LOL
