Ten Weeks to an Organized Home

I have seriously neglected my house for some time now. Really, it has probably been over a year since I have de-cluttered and organized. Well I am putting an end to the disorganization and I am beginning a new summer program: Ten Weeks to an Organized Home.

You see, there are ten weeks until the kids go back to school. By that time, I want my home to be functional, organized and de-cluttered.

I have identified ten spots in my home:
1. Family room
2. Kitchen
3. Dining room/Living room
4. James’ room
5. Thomas’ room
6. Stella’s room
7. Master bedroom
8. All closets: two linen closets and the pantry
9. Garage
10. Backyard

I am in the middle of week one. I have rearranged all the furniture in the living room, taken THREE garbage bags of junk toys out and sorted the remaining toys in to two small bins. All of the items associated with the Wii are in one bin and the large dinosaurs are in the other. All of the movies have been matched up and every movie has a home. I only have things (pictures, plates, etc) that I love. I even found a cute bin to hold all the remotes. We have two end tables and the drawers have been emptied and sorted. The room is so functional and organized!! I plan on taking some before and after pictures for each week.
