Week 1

Its been a while since I have posted, but I am starting a new challenge.

Its called the 52 weeks to an organized home challenge.  I am starting from the January challenge and just going through slowly but surely.  First we should discuss our home and how it could use improvement.

My home is so cluttered and unorganized.  I dont know how to be organized.  I was never taught that.  This challenge will help me so much with that.  Nothing has its own place here...my bookshelves are overflowing with paper.  My kitchen counters take a miracle to be cleared off.  I am getting organized slowly on my own, but I love this idea to help me.

First I will show you pictures of my kitchen counters as they are right now.

My counters used to be cluttered with appliances.  We have since purchased pantry cupboards, and we were able to put my appliances on shelves.

I need to decide what I want my kitchen space to be used for....

• Home Base (calendar, home management binder, ect)
• Storing cold/shelf stable food
• Preparing food
• Eating

I need to create a silverware storage area, and a knife storage area, and I need to clear off my shelves tomorrow and start there!
