So I've watched so many Clean Sweep and Clean House episodes and am trying to organize my cluttered home where I lose stuff all the time, I'm starting to dreaming of totes, storage baskets, shelves, labels, files, new hard flooring, open spaces so I can't even sleep with this weighing on me. I really am excited though, because last Saturday I went through all of my clothes storage and took the whole back of my van's worth to D.I. of clothes I don't wear anymore, clothes that are worn, clothes that won't store well.
I am trying to go through my piles of papers again, I couldn't find Jacob's soccer schedule I lose books, everything even with the organizing I have been doing, so I have so much more to do. Simplifying has been key, but we probably have another 3 loads we could take to D.I. I'm going to talk to my hubby about taking some time with me this weekend to look at stuff I feel guilty about deciding without him.
Also, I'm trying to eat more healthy, but I'm also trying to use what we have in the house, which include cream soups, packets, white pasta etc.. I've felt depressed about exercising with the weather turning cold recently. When we had the real Spring-like weather I went on walks every day and often at night to put Emmy to sleep, I am being concious of drinking more water and trying not to stay up quite so late.
I'm working on my millions of projects and ideas, it is one of my great weaknesses to start things but not finish so my great goals to complete something each week, really work on my starter projects. We'll I've announced it to the world, so bye for now so I can follow through on these great ideas.

wow! Way to go Sarah!
good for you Sarah. It's hard work.
Oh Sarah, I can definitely relate. It seems I spend my whole life trying to be organized. It sounds like you are doing a great job. Clean sweep is an inspiration to me, also. I'm glad I found your blog! A
Love this! cleaning, opening spaces up, getting that load off your shoulder feeling! A great way to organize yourself is assign a different task for different days so you don't feel like you have to do it all in one day! some things are daily, but projects can have their own special day and they seem to get accomplished quicker that way. Good luck!
Good work. I need to do that too! My problem is that my junk keeps collecting and I run out of storage place to put it.
Good for you, Sarah. One more reason for me to be in awe of you. Your house looks so nice every week, I always come home and think, "I must be better, like Sarah!"
So, there you go, you are an inspiration to me.
Good job Sarah! After you're done you can come to our house:). Or at least tell us what worked best...It seems like things were going well until Joseph's schedule changed this month and we weaned Elle and Hyrum! Now they won't take naps well and I haven't had much free time to get bigger projects done and the kids' toys seem to be getting lost everywhere! How does this happen? We miss you all and can't wait to see you so soon!
Hi, I forget to check here. If you will put a "follower" feature on your blog I will sign up and then I'll know when you blog!
You are doing great with keeping up with the house. It always looks great! Don't forget the Healthy Eating class this Thursday on the lawn swings!
Thanks for being the wonderful person you are, Sarah. I adore you!
