The time of the year we all aspire to having a junk drawer like Martha.
I’m wanting to know– is there some little timer inside every adult head that goes off in January telling you to clean out, get rid of, and organize EVERYTHING within reach? From the number of magazines that follow this trend for their first issue of the year, I would say yes.
Closets, garages, fridges, children’s rooms, and shoe shelves– nothing is safe from the purging. And for me, it really doesn’t help that this year I’ve got an insane case of “nesting syndrome” setting in with my due date just 3 weeks off. Zac came home the other night to find both Freyja and our bedroom’s completely re-arranged with all the new baby furniture set up in a corner of our room, and me in a little, red-faced heap on the bed panting from exhaustion. I’m trying to tone it down now, and get organized with a little more order and restraint.
So this next week we’re offering some tips, tricks, and ideas on giving in to that wonderful, new year impulse. It’s time to get organized!
Enjoy!
Great timing! Interestingly enough, I just reorganized and cleaned my junk drawer today. It’s a good thing too because I found a mouse turd.
I can’t wait…….I LOVE organization tips…..and YES, it always happens this time of year…….I did my pantry last week!!!
I completely understand this urge, but I don’t have much confidence in my organization skills. Tips would be great!
