Moving Plans
Week 19 of 52, Day 6 of 6
SOOOOoooo everything has changed. I got the house that I put an offer on so I am no longer on an organization schedule and am not inviting anyone over yet. Currently my goal is to pack 1 area a day. I may still pack on Sundays because it really doesn't seem like work, its a lot of fun! I am VERY excited about this new place and organizing should be SO much easier as I will have 5 closets in the entire house plus the garage, plus the attic. In my current house...2 closets. Thats it.
So, I will keep you posted!

Week of 52, Day 2 of 6
Days to next Tea TBA, Days to next dinner 19
SOOOoooo February is going to be focused on kitchen, due to that fact I am going to start reading all the kitchen areas of the magazine that I got.
As for cleaning, tonight I will pick up the bathroom. I am, once again, exhausted so I need a small space to work on. Hopefully by Thursday I will find some energy somewhere in this house.
As for now, I am going to get ready for bed and clean while I am doing that.
Oh, quick tip, I had all my eyeliners and mascara that I needed somewhere to put it so I grabbed a tumbler from the kitchen and threw them in that and put it inside my bathroom mirror cabinet. I believe it will work out nicely!

Get It While Its Out
Week 18 of 52, Day 1 of 6
Days to next Tea TBA, Days to next dinner possibly 20
My cousin showed me a fabulous resource that I had to pass on to you. It is a Better Homes and Gardens Special Interest Publication, which basically means its a magazine that is only printed once. It is called Storage and you can find it at most places that carry magazines. It is amazingly stocked full of ideas that are not only friendly on your wallet but easy to tackle! For example, they have a 1 year plan of organizing your entire house! We are starting late so January will take a little catch up, but thats ok. Each month tackles a different area, (i.e. January is the office) and each area has 4 projects that can be accomplished 1 each week, a few at a time, or whatever you are most comfortable with!
Now, after all that excitement I, personally, am going to skip January since its too late to really get it done right, and save it for a month that doesn't apply to me (like kids rooms). But for those of you wanting to start now then work on your office in these 4 areas:
Gather all slips of paper with passwords and put them in one notebook, then get rid of all those slips of papers.
Create a vertical paper-storage system using wall-mount file holders. This is for things like bills that you would need to see and access easily.
Create a horizontal filing system for long term paper storage. You can use a filing cabinet or get a cute file holder. Either way, make sure you have hanging folders and tabs to keep it organized and easily accessible. Now is a good time as well (since you are going through them anyway) to begin a file of your tax paperwork. Anything you think you will need for your taxes this year get in one spot and label it "Taxes 2009."
Keep only one current month of your favorite magazines. If old issues have important articles, clip them and store in a binder or file folder. (This one is going to be hard for me!!!)
So there you go. There is a fabulous resource for you to try as well as a preview of whats inside it! You may want to grab the magazine yourself as I am going to try to remember to do this every month but I may forget.
Tonight I am trying to get back on schedule. I am switching from doing laundry on Thursdays and Fridays to a little every night as needed. For example, right now I have a vacation's worth of laundry to do so I did one load last night, I will do one tonight and I will keep doing that until I am caught up. Then I will start washing sheets and rugs and such as they are all ready to be washed again.
Tonight's pick up is going to be in the dining room. It is pretty clean and I am tired so thats an easy one. Tomorrow I will work on the Living Room. Some other day I will hit my bedroom which seems to never stay nice anymore.
Goodnight!

Coming Home Soon
So I haven't been keeping track of what week I am on, but I will figure that out when I get home. When I do get home my first goal is to continue maintaining what is done and then slowly build back up to where I was before Christmas hit.
I have been recouping and refreshing on this vacation and I am feeling very relaxed finally. Tomorrow is my last day and I plan on spending the morning on a date with Jesus. I haven't had a whole lot of just quiet reflective time since I arrived so I think this will be a nice way to spend the first part of my last day. After that my sister-in-law comes home and I will have some time with her and then Sunday we go home. I can't believe its already over. But I am looking forward to being home again.
As a quick side note, some of you know I have gotten into these giveaways on blogs and one of them that I just stumbled across tonight is for a new faucet! Amazing! I am excited because I am house hunting and if I win I could totally use this in my new house!!! So click here if you are interested and maybe look around, you might find some more similar giveaways and get addicted as well!!!
