Spring Cleaning....

Spring Cleaning and Organizing has been on my mind alot today. There is so much to be done. I feel as though i have let my house go this winter. And right now i'm feeling the effects of the first trimester of pregnancy. Morning or shall i say 24/7 sickness is no fun at all. I also find myself even more tired this pregnancy because i'm also trying to keep up with my 13 month old. So i have decided to Downsize during my Spring Cleaning and Organizing this year. Which will be good since we are probably going to be moving sometime this year. Less to move is always good...Right? On my list i have Marked next week as "SPRING CLEANING" week! Monday: Bedrooms (Closets Included). Tuesday: Kitchen and Dinning Room. Wednesday: Bathrooms and Linen Closets and Storage Closets. Thursday: Living Room. Friday: Garage !!! That way i can have the weekend to take bags of clothes to Goodwill and Sale unwanted items on eBay or Craigslist. I think if i stick to this i will be able to accomplish it all.....
Speaking of Closets...mine are getting quite full these days. I have way to much of everything. I Paint so i have painting supplies, i Sew so i have yards and yards of fabric and patterns and sewing supplies...just stuffed into different closets in the house. What i would love to have is one closet designated to Crafts! So my goal is to do just that.

I heard Christopher Lowell say on T.V. the other day..."Only have what you LOVE in your home"! I think this is great advise. I know i'm bad about just picking up some random item at the store just because it is on Sale and i think i have a place for it. Well not anymore. I've made a promise to myself that i will only purchase things that i absolutely have to have. I no longer have room for everything i might like under the sun....i have to house toys and baby stuff. And that takes up alot of room. My hubby wonders how can such a small baby have so much STUFF?

Anybody out there with any good organizational tips to share????
