Ok, guys (and gals!), I have got to be honest and say that I'm going crazy with our home! I feel like we have "stuff" up to the rafters, "stuff" coming out of our ears... everywhere is just stuff, stuff, STUFF! Yes, I understand that we are a very active family of five and then three four-legged furballs and that we naturally will accumulate things, but something has seriously got to give!
That's why this year, my goal is to purge our home of things that are unused, unwanted and unnecessary and then organize what we keep! I've seen a lot of great ideas on Pinterest (check out my Home Organization board here) for organizing closets and rooms and everything else, so this is as good a time as any to get started! I want to be smart about what we spend and how we spend it, so I've got a lot of research to do in that regard. But there will be some new cabinetry installed, new shelving, etc to help with this refresh and reorg.
My plan is to try and tackle closets first, since that's where everything gets stored anyways. Everything will get fresh paint, fresh shelving, etc. Once the closets are done, I will move room-by-room until everything is completed. It's going to to be a complete overhaul, which I'm excited about but also know it's going to be a lot of work!
Here is my plan of attack for the first half of the year:
Things that are still in really good shape will be given to family/friends first, and then donated to our local CCA. Anything that is questionable will be tossed. If we don't use something, haven't worn something in the past year, etc, it's time to get rid of it!!!
Wish us (especially me!) luck, I think we are going to need it!

Here is my plan of attack for the first half of the year:
- January: laundry room
- February: linen closet & hall closet
- March: Master bedroom closet & Master bathroom
- April: office and kitchen pantry
- May: kids' bedroom closets & kids' bathroom
- Garage: will be done, only my husband doesn't know yet!! LOL
