let’s get organized!

Yes it’s that time of year again!  Time to get organized.

I don’t know about you, but I fail each year when I make resolutions, so this year, I am just setting goals.  Goals that I hope to achieve and maintain throughout the year.  This year I have 2 goals.  One is the same as the past few years, no need to even talk about it, but the second one is to get this home organized.

One would think that being a military nomad and moving around all the time, I would know all the tricks to organize my home.  Truth be told, I don’t.  Not even close!  Those characteristics to organzie did not find me, they found my sister instead.  I literally have to work at staying organized.  It’s a job, a job that stresses me out and one that I hate!  Don’t get me wrong, my house is clean and all, however be careful when you open a closet or cabinet.

We have been in this house a little over a year and it is time to try to organize.   I’m ashamed to say that for a year, we have lived with closets, cabinets and junk drawers that I would be totally embarrassed if you opened!

I’m feeling a little stressed right now with things that are out of my control (hmm that sounds like I might have control issues, huh?) so I have decided to control the things that I can, and that will be my weight my clutter!

Now I’m turning to you for help.   I always do better at reaching goals when I have a buddy, so will you be my organizing buddy to keep me organized?

Who’s in and where do we start?  Bedroom closets, kitchen cupboards, bathroom?

Do you have  great tips I can share to help organize?  Especially you military spouses, I know many of you have mastered organizing small spaces,  so I am looking at you for help!

Leave your tips for organizing your home in the comments and I will be sure to share them!  I know many of you have an organized home already.
