Happy New Year! I consider this New Year as an extra day off from work. I used my day wisely. My resolution was to go through my house and get rid of extra “stuff” that I don’t want, don’t use or is expired.
Why do I have so many mason jars when I don’t can anything?
Bedding! Why so much bedding? We don’t frequently have guests. Sarah has her own room at our house and I leave her bed alone so it is ready for her when she comes.
I down sized the Christmas decorations and gifted some ornaments to Avery. Technically they were hers from when she was a baby.
Avery and Kendall spent the night. We “partied” until ball dropped. The driving conditions weren’t great. Kendall had to work at noon. Avery stuck around and visited. She helped me go through my drawers and cupboards. I got rid of utensils that were hanging on by a thread. The spoon that sort of melted.
Why do I have 17 spatulas? I took the best of the extra’s and set them aside for Ethan when he moves. Why do I have 4 garlic presses?
I have a few more cupboards to go through and organize but Avery and I got a bunch done, and we were chatting the entire time. It was fun!
Avery left with a bunch of goodies from my discard pile. She was so excited.
I will have a healthy donation for Goodwill.
I do feel like so far, I am doing well with my resolution. Day 1….passed! Winning!
After the kitchen, Avery left and I started to tackle our basement. It looked like we were hoarders. Mainly because we have so many car parts all over the place.
Men! At least the car parts aren’t in my livingroom anymore!
Paul had Paul things to do, so I enjoyed the day. It was a gift day! Days like this I get lost in thought and fixed and a project! I feel so accomplished. I am kind of excited to continue the organizing after seeing what a difference I have made with just one day. Too bad I have to work tomorrow. (Eye-roll!)
I'll take a garlic press! (carrie)
