organized mess #1

It's a new year.

And I'm happy to start a new series.

Last year, I had a 'health and happiness' series, which will probably make an appearance this year again, as it is still something I constantly need to work at.

What is the topic of my series for this year?

World politics?

Nope.

Shopping?

That would be fun, but I would go bankrupt.

Travel?

Let's face it; I don't even have time to go to the grocery store, let alone take a trip.

I know you are all jumping up and down with anticipation. So my new series topic for 2013 is....

Organization.

Or rather, an organized mess.

I have lots of messes in my house. Just ask mother. It drives her bananas.

Notice I am not shooting for perfection. I have realistic expectations here. I know myself. I know my domestic non-abilities.

Therefore, I'm shooting for organized messes.

We'll see how it goes.

For January, I found a few things on Pinterest I'd like to work on.

1. my cleaning list

2. life binder

3. loose paper organization {such as user manuals}

Thank goodness for Pinterest where I can find other websties/blogs with people much more clever than I. 

And if you know me, I hope you aren't too sore from laughing at project #1 for the month. Making it will be one thing; using it will be another.
