This year my focus is all about organizing and cutting back on the “random stuff” in our house. My first task will be getting rid of unused toys and donating them, then getting cute containers to store them, Also will be labeling them with pictures of their contents so my kiddos know where they belong.
Lara says
Simplify me! I have a wardrobe full of boxes I’m going to go through and clean out. They’ve been cluttering the space up for 5 years!
Marsha says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I have been reading a lot about Minimalism lately and it has been getting me motivated to really go through our stuff. But I could definitely use a push!
Pamela says
SIMPLIFY ME! *pretty please**
I finally have the life I’ve always wanted: working from home, two daughters, amazing hubby, good (real) friends and fulfilling volunteer work. I’ve skimmed off the unnecessaries but clearly need a plan to have it all work together. Time mgmt & organization seem to be my issues. I like how you guys seem to keep all the balls in the air, so to speak, and there isn’t a sharp line separating the areas of your life. These are skills I’d love to pass on to my girlies. Thanks.
Paraiso says

I am moving to a much smaller home in a couple of weeks. So, as I am packing, I am using the ‘do I use it, need it, or love it’ motto? I have a ‘charity box’ that is getting filled on an on-going basis. I only want the things that I really need or love in my new space. I could use some help with more ‘SIMPLIFY ME’ ideas.

gina says
Simplify Me, PLEASE!
I married the love of my life this past August and have had a terrible time adjusting to keeping up a home. We bought our house just over a year ago but I didn’t move in until we said our vows. So, with this being said, it is now December and I still don’t have a place for all of the things I moved in. Please, PLEASE, help me get my house in order.

my family have downsized our home this year and we want to continue you to “downsize” other areas of our lives. Namely, less spending, reaching out more to people, healthier livestyle, and getting rid of more junk!

BASKETS! yes, baskets are my answer for organizing in 2011. The linen closet with extra sheets and blankets will be filled with them along with other areas like the kitchen and laundry room.
Kristen says
Simplify me!
We bought a bigger house = we *should* have more room. So why do I feel like a bad episode of Hoarding every time I walk into the laundry/unfinished room in the basement? It’s a disaster!

I don’t have a lot of stuff (lucky me), but I do have plans to organize my time and life better this new year. I’m starting with a streamlined to-do list from Real Simple this month, and setting up easily acessible “stations” for cleaning/writing/storing etc.
Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!

Joanna says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My closets (including our guest bedroom, which has esentially become 1 big closet due to the unpacked boxes occupying it after our move) are in some serious need of organization. This workshop would be so helpful!
SP says
SIMPLIFY ME! We are putting our house on the market again next week after taking it off the market since we had no luck selling it. I would love to declutter/organize to make the house more appealing and so we don’t have to move things that we don’t need.
Kirsten says
SIMPLIFY ME!
This year, our family is doing a big move from the east coast to Texas. We plan on cutting our belongings in half and trying to truly start over. The plan is to start by building systems of needful storage for every room, and seriously questioning our needs. For example, books belong in a library (except for a few necessities and loves), movies are gotten from Netflix, gym equipment stays at the gym. Our home is for living, and loving, not cluttering. It is empowering to feel the freedom of not junking up our lives.
sarah says
SIMPLIFY ME! #1 for 2011 is purging our drawers and closets. Selling what we can and donating the rest.
Sarah says
SIMPLIFY ME!
updating my filing system –simplifying it!
