Its Post Christmas clean up, bleh!

Yes.. its the beginning of a new year and the feeling of cleaning up and clearing out. I know some people think Spring is a great time to clean.. yes.. that's fine, but for me, a new year means some organization that didn't always happen before. Yes.. that's me.. never ever organized. Its cost me money and stress and time I wish I could have spent with my family... but nevertheless.. a new year and a new chance to claim an organized room, home, or even a suitcase for this flight attendant mommy?!

I have to say when we moved to Kentucky this past May/early June.. I thought I would clear out and be uber organized when we moved into our new home. Wow, was I in for a surprise! Little did I know or wasn't willing to admit.. when its JUST you: you got this. When its you and your spouse: you both got this. When its you, your spouse, and 3 kids: you DON'T got this... in organization speak.

I never in my wildest dreams imagined having the amounts of kids clothes and toys, stuff, and more stuff. Who accumulates all this? Well, apparently a family of 5 does my friend! And its all in how you manage it and work through the "take home" process that I have come to acknowledge is my weakest link. For example.. the mail.. throw away the ads and promotional stuff because I know it won't make it anywhere. The cards, keep. Bills, keep and PAY! All this to say.. it takes small steps and I am mastering them one at a time.. yay!
