While I Was Cleaning

January 17, 2012 |

I have pineapple in my tealight holders,

completely emptied toy bins and repurposed laundry baskets in the living room,

a sleeping little guy “raising the roof” in my bed,

a kitchen, in my kitchen (What? Why? How? When did they get this strong?),

aaaaaaaaand...

a cleaned out, sorted, and semi-organized closet. 🙂

So while this might not be the look I’m going for in here,

this makes it worth it!

2 bags of maternity clothes being lent out, 5 bags and a box leaving this house for good.

Buh bye, bags. I’m so ready for 40 Bags in 40 Days... are you? 😉

    We moved over the summer so I don't think we have 40 bags... but I know there is still stuff to purge!

    I love the raise the roof picture.. 40 bags in 40 days is awesome! I so need to do that. I have so much clutter.

    This is what happens when I ask Big Sis to help me clean too! Things don't always get put where I want them, but she means well! I love that she can help! I like the idea of cleaning out. If not to get rid of, since we are still working on more kiddos! 🙂 but to at least sort through, and store things that are not needed or being used right now! I don't like the clutter all everywhere!

    40 bags in 40 days?! What is this?

    Seriously! 40 BAGS! Wow, that is a lot of de-cluttering. Good luck! I go through at the change of every season and donate bags to Goodwill and friends and family. I wonder how many I could do right now...
