A new year always brings about the desire to clean out the house. Started with a small cupboard in the kitchen. Emptied it out and washed all the cups and threw out the stuff that was just junk (why did I even put it in there to begin with?). Then I put in there the cookbooks that are not used much (but I want to keep), the teacups and all my coffee gear! It looks so nice now that I am tempted to take the door off so I can see it all the time!!!
Anyway, the next project is Joanna/Abigail's room. We moved their beds (actually....I moved the beds). This means that they had to clean out all the stuff under the beds first (what a PILE). This got me looking at the flow of traffic in the room and how their toys are stored. Decided that the shelf thing that usually houses the bulk of toys is now going to be stuffed animals and some of Polly Pocket gear. Everything else is moving away from the bed area. Hopefully that will keep the area around their beds more clear! I think that I might go up there randomly and move some stuff out all together. There is just some things they don't play with anymore and I don't think they will miss. Perhaps it will go in a rubbermaid tub to a holding place (labeled with something to remind me to get it gone if it hasn't been touched). I'm dreaming of making a bean-bag type sitting area in the room for reading and listening to music.
