Heard of it? I meant to post this yesterday but I forgot. Oops.
The idea is during the 40 days of lent, you clean out 40 bags of trash, stuff you don't use, haven't seen in a few years, etc. This sounds like a GREAT idea. We were just talking last night about all the stuff we need to get rid of. We still have several boxes of stuff that we haven't done anything with since we moved. I think my 40 days will be more of an organizing mission than just getting rid of stuff.
I haven't yet made out my list of 40 areas to organize/clean out, but here is what I have so far:
1.Yesterday, we got a new washing machine and got rid of our two dead ones. So I am counting that towards day 1!
2. Today I cleaned out all of Miss K's outgrown clothes
3. Organize K's closet
4. Clean out Mr. T's outgrown clothes
5. Organize Mr. T's closet (this may take two days as it is our biggest closet and therefore the junk closet!)
6. Organize mudroom
7. Mudroom closet
8. Clean out all those crazy boxes in the garage!
9. Living room book self
10. Craft area (will likely take more than one day also!)
11. Living room closet
12. File cabinet
It would seem that I don't have enough to fill 40 days, but really I am just feeling too lazy to finish the list right now. I'm off to bed. zzzzz
Wow, that's a really good idea. Also, I'm picturing your mudroom post-organization, and I bet it'll be really cute (and I haven't even seen it now :).
ReplyDeleteperhaps I should do a few before and after photos. You would be surprised at the disastrous state of a few of our spaces... little embarrassing!
