New Years Resolution: Get my House Organized One Week at a Time

One of my New Years resolutions this year is to get my house organized.  I am a fairly organized person but after the kids getting so many gifts at Christmas, I realized we have a lot of things that we don't need.  The plan is to assign a room of the house to each week starting this week until the house is all organized.  The way I figure it we will have our entire house in order by the end of March!
It may sound daunting but if you do only tackle one room or space a week it really isn't that much. This way by spring time we will be done and can have a garage sale to purge what we don't need.

All items that we don't want will go into 1 of 3 piles- Sell, Donate, Garbage
The point is to keep only things that we use and need. 

The Schedule:

Week 1- Organize the master bathroom and closet

• go through closet and only keep clothes that fit me now and that I wear
• organize linen closet in bathroom
• organize kids bath toys and baby products better (use containers)
• Make room in closet for craft supplies
• Do any paint touch ups that need to be done if I have time

DIY Christmas gift ideas

I absolutely love getting and making homemade gift for Christmas and since my decorations are up and the tree is trimmed, it's craft time.  Making your own gifts not only is more personal and unique, but it can save a lot of money as well.  Here are a few of my favorites that I have found this year that I might be trying.
