{the year of organization no. 01}

January 13, 2008

:: so as you may know, one of my big resolutions for 2008 is to be more organized. living in clutter isn’t fun, and it’s stressful and i don’t need that in my life. so, i’m resolving to do a better job. when i say year of organization.. i really mean year, as it may take me all year to do it, but at least there is a goal, right? :::: so my first bit of organization to share or as i am calling it organization no. 01, was to organize my holiday decorations. here are a few things that helped me do this.

*holiday* organization no. 01
[01] buy many tupperware bins
[02] fill with christmas decorations [an obvious step]
[03] pick out a color for ‘christmas’ [i chose red]
[04] use a red ribbon to label all christmas boxes
[05] create a label for holiday and label contents of box [i found it very handy to list box 1 of 5, so i knew there were actually 5 christmas boxes in our basement]
[06] tie label to box with holiday color [red ribbon]ahhh! i feel better about unpacking christmas next year already..

{organization, please!}

:: i sure wish my little z mans closet looked like this picture from parent magazine. funny how a new year makes you want to become a better person… and for me a better organizer. since the house has been making me and my hubby crazy with clutter, i’ve been trying to get a little organizing done. i hope to share a few pictures soon of what i’ve done so far.

unfortunately i have so much more to do. i’ve been of the shut the closet and pretend it’s not there type the past year. but, my goal this year is to have everything organized in every corner. one thing at a time though… i’m already getting overwhelmed just thinking about it. i think my biggest thing is to just part ways with things i haven’t used in over a year. this is going to be really difficult for me especially when it comes to my closet. i mean things i wore in high school just might come back in style, right? ::
