4 Weeks to a More Organized Home: Day 2

I have decided to follow along with Money Saving Mom on her 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home series, starting today. I have been feeling like we have way too much stuff and this will be the perfect opportunity to declutter and NOT be overwhelmed. Each day, she lists assignments that will help you to organize your home and not be overwhelmed. So I have decided to join in.....

Today's assignments were:

• Get dressed in something that makes you feel great
• Sit down with a cup of coffee or tea, refer to your list of weekly goals, and make a list of no more than 5-7 specific things you want to accomplish today.
• Complete your morning routine {if you don’t have a morning routine, take some time to create one today! Read my How to Develop a Routine That Works–And Stick With It series for step-by-step help.}
• Set the timer for 15 minutes and do a quick-clean of your kitchen: wash the dishes/load the dishwasher, clear off the countertops, and, if you have time, wipe down the countertops and the outside of the cupboards with wet rag or cleaning cloth.
• Clean out your refrigerator.
• Find 7 items to get rid of today. 

So, how did I do??

I got dressed in a pair of jeans and a purple shirt originally. Then Benjamin and Jacob decided to come give me hugs after lunch and they smeared ketchup and chocolate chip cookie crumbs on my shirt. So I changed into a blue sweater set, jeans and brown flats for work.

I have not made a morning routine...but am thinking about it.

I cleaned up the kitchen in a 15 minute session after dinner.

I cleaned out the refrigerator...

And I found 12 ITEMS to get rid of....I put baby spoons, ice cream spoons, sippy cup stoppers and a random spatula into the bag for Goodwill. I am now up to 37 items gone!  

So I think day 2 went really well....Hopefully I can continue the momentum as the days go on!
