    40 BAGS IN 40 DAYS - Week 5!

    March 23, 2012 |

    Can you believe we only have two weeks left? I can’t.

    This week I didn’t go back up in the attic, but instead wanted to finish everything off on the first floor. The junk drawers in our foyer, the shoe storage there, all the shoes in our house, the kitchen cabinets (I did up one day and down the other), and the hutches in my dining room.

    This week’s total?

    Two bags of garbage, one bag of stuff to go in the garage sale.

    I haven’t totaled everything up yet, but I’m starting to think that I won’t have 40 bags total. That’s okay, I feel good about the amount of clutter I’ve cut down on and the amount of organizing going on around here!

    Next week? The basement. *shudders*
