2015...Already?!? How can this be. With the start of the new year, it always makes me think of a clean slate. Which then makes me think about cleaning/organizing. Which is something I really need to get a handle on at our house. The stuff is starting to take over and some of it I couldn't even tell you was here. Lets face it, it's probably closer to half! I'm pretty sure there are still a couple boxes that are unpacked from when we moved in 3 years ago.
So resolution #1: Organize more this year. I know, I know, super cliche right.
Well then you will LOVE me when I tell that resolution #2 for me is start exercising. Something, anything to get my body moving a little more each day. My plan is to start going back to the gym (sadly it's been like 2 years) and start running again. And if you're not thrilled with my resolutions so far, just think of the poor people at the gym. The ones that have been working out all year and now have to deal with the influx of people just like me that make a resolution to start working out.
Resolution #3 and the one that I hope to work on the most this year. Stop yelling so much. My kids can be a handful and daily it gets the better of me and I end up yelling. I don't want to be remembered as "the yeller!" So far I have done pretty good with this. Which is amazing due to the fact that I have all 3 kids home during Christmas break and it is FREEZING outside!
#4, not a resolution, but something I want to continue is my Project 365. I plan to do a digital one this year, so we will see how that goes. I do love the feel of actually scrapbooking paper, so the digital version may be difficult for me at first.
In light of #1, I am starting in my closet. This is a long overdue project and one that I have been wanting to deal with for a while. I have way to many clothes that I don't wear, yet I can't seem to get rid of, because I might wear it. Sound familiar? I know I'm not the only one.
We have a very large closet in our bedroom and so I was able to move all of my clothes away from the spot I typically keep them. Once an item gets washed and worn, it will move back to the spot where I keep them. I'm starting with 3 months and I am going to see where that gets me, I may give it 6. Hopefully after that time I will be able to clean out all that I don't wear. *Exception: It is cold and winter here now, so any tank tops and capris/shorts are exempt from my initial purge and will face the same wrath in the summer months!

And as you can see, I have ROYGBIVed my closet! I highly recommend it to everyone! I find I spend far less time looking for clothes in the morning when I can just go straight to that color. Before the one thing I was looking for always seemed to get lost, sandwiched between two other items of completely different color, so I would skip right past it.
Wish me luck on my resolutions!
