Have you ever noticed how a clean and organized home makes you feel comfortable, at ease...just makes everything feel better? Yeah, me too....at OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES! But this year I'm going to make it MINE! Join me?

I had planned to join a few challenges here this year but afraid to get in over my head and not live up to them cause I've spread myself too thin....that said, this is one challenge I really need to join. My house is clean for the most part but I have way too much stuff and the constant putting away of the junk leaves no real time for the deep cleaning.....So... if someone will tell me the rules then I'll jump in too.

Tami, don't worry about rules or spreading yourself too thin, etc...the important thing is that we encourage each other to make our homes a more pleasant place to be and enjoy! Do what you can when you can as you can.....every little bit is a success and if you fall off the wagon you can pick yourself up and jump right back in! :hugz:

I want to be part of this too. When I got up today, I didn't like my house at all. Oh, I don't mean the whole house, but my kitchen and family room leave alot to be desired. It felt like I was looking at it for the 1st time, and it's far from dirty, but could be better. It seems to lack that nice coziness the rest of the house seems to have. I was "uncomfortable" in my own place. I think it needs re-organization, deeper cleaning, and that "personal touch". Strange, because I usually do okay decorating wise.

So I'm jumping in, head 1st!

I think my January Project will be the master bedroom. It's the catch-all room where we put things that don't have their own home. I was given a bunch of nice clothes that I need to try on and sort out. My closet is stuffed with nice clothes that are now too big for me. Lots to do in there tjo make it nice and peaceful.

Ooooohhh yeah. I want to get a lot of organizing done just in case we end up having enough money to buy our land and start building a house. I already told DH I will not take most of the junk his mom gave us into a new house.
