Week 1 done

So, this past week was Week #1 of the 52 week Challenge!

And I did it! Now, I had to clean off my counters AGAIN to get the pictures, but it wasn't too bad. {I had craft night at my house on Thursday and nothing was picked up from it...}

Kitchen Table

Counter Top Island

Counter Top - It's our bottle making station. Plus, The Mr. and I each have 1 cup each day and we wash it out and set it back on the counter. :)

Bakers Rack
Next week is cupboards and drawers... it should be interesting!

Hello & organize

Hello again! I am still alive, I will be posting about the little guy! But first here's my New Years Resolution!

So this year I'm planning on de-cluttering and organizing my house. I guess it's THE wagon to jump on this year. I've found all kinds of info about organizing and de-cluttering.

My secret is : every year I plan to organize my house and de-clutter it. And every year I fail.

But not this year. This year I'm going to make it happen. This year I'm going to follow thru and kick some organizing booty.

Ive found a few blogs that are going to help me out.

A few months ago, I stumbled upon Home Storage Solutions 101. {pretty sure via pinterest..}

And I subscribed and I decided to participate in the 52 week Organized House Challenge. At the beginning of each week, I get an email describing this week's challenge, and also reasons why that's our challenge. {it makes alot of sense when she's tells us why!}

Over at Six Sisters' Stuff, they have an organizing post with a WHOLE bunch of great links to organizing posts!

And who can think of organizing without thinking of Heather over at Decor-ganize Crafts? I love her car organizer using a shoe organizer! And, I know her in real life. Yeah, she's pretty awesome.

I've also found some pretty good ideas and plans over at IHeart Organizing.

Over at A bowl full of lemons, she had a 21 day organizing challenge.

Ok, so there's my inspiration. Right now, I've decided to only do 1 at a time. And right now, that 1 is the 52 week challenge from Home Storage Solutions. Because, even tho organizing is important, I really need to de-clutter my whole house. I'm throwing away TONS of stuff! :)

And technically, I'm counting this as #80 on my 101 in 1001!

Love to those whose resolutions never change, just get more desperate thru the years. :)
