SIMPLIFY ME!
We are potentially moving to the Middle East & need to decide what is worth dragging farther across the world & what to store for years to come (and inventory everything).
Steve says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My wife would tell you that we have too much of everything. I have no idea what is too much; but with a baby on the way, I’m willing to do anything to make things less stressful. Less on the floor/tables is less to worry about for us and for baby.
Jana says
Simplify me :-) With a small baby (born just a few days later than Clara), I am constantly adapting our home to meet his needs. Now that he is starting to crawl and pull at things, I have to place everything higher and higher. What helps me deal with clutter is constant purging, asking for specific gifts (to avoid unwanted gifts that will just clutter our apartment and which we will never use) and also that everything has its place. And quuickly tidying up before going to bed in the evening – I love waking up to a clean and organized home :-) Oh, and I regularly put away in storage boxes clothes that our baby has outgrown – so we save space in the bedroom with only having what we really need in there.

SIMPLIFY ME!
2011 is about finally getting the chance to organise my boys rooms to store their things but also a place to play.
Abbie says
Simplify me!
In 2011, I hope to simplify my work time management schedule so that my work time doesn’t overflow into my free time.
Paula N. says
SIMPLIFY ME! My WHOLE life needs simplification and cleaning out right now. Our home has nearly 20 years of accumulated stuff in it (although my kids did take a big box of books to the local bookstore today and got $45 worth of book credit, which is a huge help!), and I’ve been shredding old prescription paperwork and bills like crazy since we bought our new shredder. I would love to learn quick and simple decluttering techniques. And I’d love somebody to take me by the hand say, Paula, here’s what to get rid of and what to keep. ARGH! Thanks for the opportunity!!
Johanna says
SIMPLIFY ME! I love that site :)
Sevi says
SIMPLIFY ME!
OK, I’m 31 now so what next? I want to set new goals and try to have a better vision on my way to 35 (not ready to pronounce 40 yet :P)
Caitlin says
SIMPLIFY ME!
In the new year I need to declutter by putting away the things that I don’t know what to do with.
Valentina says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I am in desperate need of a decluttering session. My wardrobe has exploded!!!! I really wouldn’t want this to happen again! HELP! :)
Liane says
Simplify Me!
We are having our first baby and moving within the first four months of this year- I need to get organized! One of my biggest plans to help make things go smoother is to start menu planning again. I used to do it and I loved it, so once I’m off work for the baby, I want to plan our weekly menus. It makes grocery shopping and cooking SO much easier!
Laura says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My hubby and I just bought our first house and found out we are expecting our 2nd child (yes all in one month :)) so I NEED simple right now. I am looking to scale down the things I have and find a way to keep things organized and functional, especially before #2 kiddo comes!
Aurora says
Simplify Me!
Two year old boy and girl, plus five year old girl, plus self employed hubby, plus returning to study in 2011 means we need to lessen the chaos within the home.
Taylor Evans says
SIMPLIFY ME, PLEASE! :)
I am getting married in july 2011…
I have so much clutter and junk from my teenage/dorm days and I need to organize literally everything I own. I’ve been living in Sydney, Australia (originally from Texas) for the past 7 months and have traveled a few times before i moved here, so all of my clothes are either in boxes or suitcases. It’s not a pretty sight. I also want to try and get all of my finances in order so the transition to marriage and joining everything will be easier!

Happy New Year!!
Kiki says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I definitely need to organize my laundry room, which has been overtaken by my two cats’ food dishes and litter boxes. I’ve got some photos for inspiration to tackle the non-cat items, but am needing inspiration for the cat items!
Shannon says
“SIMPLIFY ME!”
I am a newly-wed as of September, and we are now a family of five! Three teenagers, two dogs and one hubby equals a clutter nightmare. We never seem to have enough space for all the shoes, videos games, and coats to be put away!
Christen says
SIMPLIFY ME! I’d like to organize or entry closet!

Jan says
SIMPLIFY ME!
With 9 kids, I am always looking for ways to simplify. It is an on-going process because with that many people in the house, things are always coming in and not necessarily going out.
busylizzy says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I want to move in 2011, I need to declutter before!
Anya L says
Simplify Me!
I need help with it all!
Lisa says
“Simplify Me” We need help decluttering our basement.
Jacqueline says
SIMPLIFY ME! I arrange for a charity pickup — (e.g., from the Lupus Foundation, Vietnam Veterans, Purple Heart, etc.) and the deadlines every two months force me to declutter a bit at least and put out a few bags/boxes of items. Hopefully another family will benefit from our excess.
susan says
Simplilfy me! My one trick is to pick up clutter as I go from room to room during my daily back and forth and up and down around the house. I don’t mean a big deal decluttering. I mean just one or two items at a time. Done daily this helps to keep the house in order. susan
Marion says
SIMPLIFY ME! I recently got married, and combining two households has created unnecessary clutter. I need help mostly in the kitchen and office.

In 2011, my goal is to de-clutter my space. Our spare room is our junk room and that NEEDS to get fixed because I can’t handle it!
Tracie says
SIMPLIFY ME!
The basement needs tackled. We haven’t been so good doing something with the items we replaced, other than take them down to the basement!
Donna says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I need an attic to basement clean up! Where do I begin?
Beth says
Simplify Me! With 2 young kids I need to learn to organize all the “stuff” better.

Simplify my tiny cottage life : o )
Krista G. says
This year I’m all about deciding what truly matters to me. I’m going to take a hard look at all the extra stuff, appointments, commitments and relationships in my life and determine which are truly worth keeping, and which are just a source of extra stress. Being able to minimize unnecessary attention and stress will allow me to focus more of my time on my friends and family!
Jessie says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I can’t wait to get 2011 off to an organized start. No more clutter!
Becca G says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I am making a resolution to clean out my kitchen cabinets…use all those boxes of rice and canned veggies before I buy anything else!

I plan on making a list of every nook in my home that needs to be decluttered and take it one day at a time until the whole house is neat and organized.
Katie says
SIMPLIFY ME!!
Our whole house needs help! Minimum storage and lots of new stuff from our recent wedding. Def part of my new year is finding a way to get everything to work together
Jessica says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I really want to start meal planning in 2011. No more staring into the fridge each night!
Lindsey Gail says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I totally need to simplify and streamline. The last year of my life has been jam-packed, chaotic, and crazy busy. While I have enjoyed that, thoroughly, I would love to enjoy and relish in my journey, rather than view it atop the whirlwind. My house has suffered from my hectic routine. So now with 2011 gaining ground, my clutter is shaking in its boots!
I have never been one for sticking to my resolutions. Partially because I get sidetracked way too easily, but also because I tend to make my resolutions “change the world” size instead of “me” size. My approach this year is to set one goal. Then break that goal down into steps. I can mark off each step when I reach it and simply move to the next step, one notch closer to my goal. I believe I will be more apt to achieving my resolutions this way. This approach will keep my confidence up and put me on the road to success. Rather than just being mad at myself come May when my resolution is under that pile of winter clothes still waiting to be put away.
Amy L says
SIMPLIFY ME!
We’re getting our little family started, and the hubs and I could really use an overhaul to get rid of our CLUTTER!

This year? I am not buying anything new. I know, right? INSANE. I’m really going to challenge myself, and my family, to change our lives.
I’m writing about it here: http://www.thisbirdnest.blogspot.com

I’m trying to get the bachelor pad of my boyfriend turned into a fashionable home for us, while writing and going to school, and need to get everything in order. What a mess!
Alicia C. says
SIMPLIFY ME! My husband and I want to put our house on the market this spring so we need to purge and declutter for sure.
Clarissa French says
SIMPLIFY ME!! We will be having a new little one in the coming year, and we are looking forward to decluttering in time for his/her arrival!
