A New Year Is A Great Time To Get Organized

One of the first things we did for the new year was start to get organized by putting up shelves in our garage. We were lucky enough to have the help of my dad - who is an excellent carpenter - and without who’s help we would have been totally lost. The shelves look great, are functional and have gotten rid of all the clutter on the floor.

They were not expensive - less than $100 bucks for all the wood. We even got a workbench out of the deal. It makes me so happy to walk out into the garage now and see a floor! Now we just have to get the rest of the house organized.

Papers have a way of piling up in my house and these have saved me some sanity. I’m going to buy another one for the other side. Very inexpensive at $14.99 a piece.

I’m going to move all throughout the house organizing everything. I will be known as the organizing queen! What is it that a house accumulates so much stuff so quickly?

Well, if you feel the way I do, 2009 is the year to clean up and get organized.
