When I think about setting new goals, they need to be practical. Need to be doable. And I need to be excited about them so I can accomplish them. This year, more than any other year I have been so excited about changing things slightly. The little things that bug me about myself and things that I want to do to make our home have more peace and love and laughter.
And I do love a good list of things to do.
One goal for the month of January is to get more organized. I LOVE to be organized. I LOVE to clean. I LOVE to declutter. It just makes me very happy. It's not my number one focus. But I will admit I am much happier when things are a certain way.
I feel I have found a pretty good balance with three little boys in our little home. I (mostly) love seeing legos spread out across the floor and seeing their creativity flow for hours on end, and to see them built houses out of the cushions and pillows and then play family in their little houses. That does not bother me, but still in the back of my mind there are little areas in our home that drive me crazy.
I just can't live with tons of clutter, you know, like this picture.
My excuse, taking down the Christmas decorations.
The boys had a great time, and you can see how exhausting it was. So how could I ever get upset?
So for this month I am taking each weekday to organize something in hopes that our home and each day can run a little more smoothly. And it's not just spaces I need to organize, it's schedules and systems that need help. I hope to be able to share any small bit of advice that I have along the way and would love to have anyone else join in the fun!
