Spring Cleaning & Organizing

I have committed for the month of April to do some deep cleaning and organizing.  To make it more manageable, I have created a Spring cleaning and organizing list by each day of the month.  For the next 30 days, I will focus on one messy or dirty spot in our house to get organized and cleaned.  I've told Travis to keep me accountable to this list, as it is important for my sanity to get our lives organized!  Here is my list:

1. File Safe (Completed today!!)
2. Bathtub/Toilet
3. Bookcase
4. Top of Dressers/Nightstands
5. Scrapbook Stuff
6. Baby Clothes In Totes
7. Mirrors
8. Kitchen Counters/Table Tops
9. Bathroom Sink
10. Microwave
11. Bedding/Blankets
12. The Car
13. Windows
14. Floors
15. Fridge
16. Pantry
17. Upstairs Yardsale Stuff
18. Desk/File Cabinet
19. Dust Everything
20. Kitchen-Above Cabinets
21. Stove/Range
22. Under Kitchen Sink
23. Upstairs Boxes
24. Back Entryway

26. Make Mail Station
27. Kitchen Cupboards & Drawers
28. Movies Upstairs

I'm really motivated to get organized, as I feel our lives will be less stressful!  Please pray for my motivation to stay up as I go through this process.  I will try to take before and after pictures as I complete projects!  

Organize 2012... Laundry Room

"Organize 2012" is one of my many goals for 2012.  Travis and I will be organizing different parts of our house throughout the year, including our laundry room, pantry, mail, and bathroom closet.  We started with our laundry room.  Following, you will see our before and after pictures from our laundry room and clothing organization.  Although we're not completely done, we have been making great progress towards keeping our clothes organized!  :)

BEFORE: Corner of the laundry room.  We had a tower of towels!  : (

AFTER: Our corner is revived!  Looks SO much better!

BEFORE: Our laundry room was messy, disorganized, and not very functional. 









AFTER: Our laundry room is clean and organized!  Each color/kind of clothes has their own basket!  I will post some of the signs I made with my cricut later!  For Christmas, my Mom bought us two laundry contraptions (seen in the pictures).  They are absolutely WONDERFUL!!  She bought them for around $35 at Walmart.
