Confession

 

Growing up, I was the little girl who always wanted to please my parents. When my room was supposed to be clean and I’d forgotten or done other things, I’d shove everything under my bed.

Evidently, that is a habit I never outgrew. Nor did my husband.

I’m posting these pictures to keep me accountable. My goal is to have conquered the clutter by Sunday evening. Right now our 715 square foot apartment is driving me crazy. There isn’t room for two people and ALL THIS CLUTTER! Luckily, I have friends like Kath and Bobbi to motivate me.

So, in all my shame, here is a glimpse of the mess as it stands today.

Wait, you want to reach the bottom three shelves of the pantry? You have to jump over a vacuum, Swiffer, and recycling pile first!

Wait, the wok doesn’t belong on the floor? I guess I forgot that Operation Goodbye Christmas meant the ornaments and decorations were supposed to be packed up and put back in the basement; not just taken down. Oops.IMG_1345 IMG_1346 IMG_1347 IMG_1349 Clearly, we both have an obsession with piles. Really? When did this happen? Just a short while ago, our home was organized, spotless, and ready for visitors.

    How refreshing to see an apartment that looks so much like my own. I think a little disorganized chaos is a good thing but I am with you on the need to get clutter free. Let’s do it!
