2011 a New year!

It's 2011 and I am embarking on a new crazy adventure! I am going to organize and de-clutter this house! Not only is there 2 adults and 4 children but our little zoo as well! We have 2 dogs (12 year old Border Collie and a 3 year old Lab/rottweiler mix), an 8 year old cat, a turtle, a gecko, and a ferret!

I am a sentimental mom! I want to keep every paper from school, every piece of baby clothes, and every toy that my children have "loved" even if they are broken it doesn't matter! My obsession with holding on to their infant, toddler, preschool and now school aged years is filling my home with CLUTTER!! It is not good for my ADHD children to live in a home that is unorganized and cluttered. So as I break my obsession with holding on, I will make my children healthier and happier! A great side-effect in my opinion.

SO this blog is going to hold me accountable. I will be updating my progress, and releasing my tears as I go through, donate or throw away my children's old belongings. Hopefully taking ownership of my house back! The clutter will not own this house (or me) by the end of 2011!!

Any and all advice is appreciated! Organization is not my strong suite, so this will be a trial and error kinda year!

If you have any organizational products you would like for me to review please let me know! I am looking for new ideas and structures.
