New Feature

I'm pretty excited about 2011.
It's going to be a fab year for our family. I have a lot to look forward to, and even more to be grateful for.

The week before the New Year begins, I often freak out and have an unrestrainable urge to declutter and organize everything in my life. Gotta make room in our lives for new goals, new toys, new adventures, etc. We live in a 1700 sqft home. There are three bedrooms and 1 and 3/4 baths. There is no attic space, no basement, no laundry "room", and no pantry. I have two closets for storage, a tiny closet with shelves and a tiny door that Aaron refers to as my "Messy Monica Closet", and a 2' x 2' coat closet. And there's a fugly boat eating up half of my garage, so storage space is minimal in the is place.

But still, 1700 sqft should be plenty of room for a family of 5. Especially when most of those people are tiny. Our problem is stuff. We are 'stuffed to the muff' with stuff!

So where do I put everything?

I'm starting a new segment on the bloggie for organization ideas. I'll start with some things that have worked for me, but if you have an organizing tip or method to help keep something in your life in order, send me an email @ leggo_my_meg-o(at)juno(dot)com and I'll feature it. Attach a picture of your brilliant idea if you have one. It can be anything from to how you store your recipies, to bills and paper organization, to a handy way to stack cups in the cupboard. Little tricks like this can be life changing.
Don't laugh at me, they can! Less time spent picking up after someone, or looking for a lost something or other means more time for the important things in your lives. Like Facebook.

Hopefully, everyone will get a little inspiration and a little motivation to simplify, or give order to unorderly corners of our lives.

Cool, yeah? I think so.

Speaking of cool things....guess what? Blogger has eliminated the limit on invites for private blogs...or at least it eliminated it on my blog...because I just checked and there are like 120 readers. What? When? How did this happen? Who cares! No limit! Yay!

Email me your storage/organizing ideas...
