New Year Clean-Out Begins!

So, now that the New Year is underway (and has been for some time now) I have been feeling the urge. An urge that is slowly eating away at everything I do until I can only think of it, and it alone. What is this, you might ask (Or don't, it's your choice)? 


The New Year clean out!  From Laundry to (ack!) dishes, I have to clean it all. While my husband is overjoyed that I have this overwhelming desire to clean the house, he says this is me just getting the jump on Spring Cleaning. To which I informed him means that I can relax in March when everyone else is waking up from their various hibernating states and cleaning out their homes. Instead, I will just have to do some light cleaning, rather than the deep clean that I've decided absolutely MUST be done. The same goes with redecorating. My house is in some serious need of it.


So yesterday, it started. Albeit it was a small step, but a step in the right direction nevertheless. We put up a shoe rack. While this may be nothing to some people, for us, it's huge. Our shoes were originally just placed by the door, which resulted in an overflowing pile of shoes. And seeing as Little Miss has several pairs...it was easy to lose pairs. Like my favorite pair of heels. So now, we have hung a shoe rack hanging on the back of the door that separates the living room from the hallway. Hooray.


The living room also got picked up. It's not spotless, but it's still pretty sweet. With all of our comings and goings lately, we just ended up leaving things where they landed. Now, this is no longer a problem! 


Today the kitchen is getting tackled. And Little Miss' room. She's actually moving out of her toddler bed and into a bunk bed, which is being delivered later on this afternoon. I might trade her my bed for it. 


I've also decided that I need to be consistent on something and that thing is this. I'm going to write in my blog everyday for a year. I'm not writing about a specific topic either. The world is free game for me. I'm not doing this for pageviews or fame. I'm doing it for me. If those things end up resulting from it...well, that'd be awesome.
