Organization

I've been on an organization kick this past week. I love our house, but it is small. And we have a lot of stuff. Or maybe we don't have that much stuff but the amount of stuff that we have is magnified by the size of the house. At any rate, I've been trying to organize things and think about purging things that we don't need or haven't used. I want to make the most out of the space that we do have.

My first project was organizing Brennan's and Owen's rooms. The eventual goal is that the boys will share a room once Owen is a little older and his sleep is a little more routine. It's amazing how much small changes can impact the space available to us. After moving things around and out of Brennan's room, I was able to create space to finally set us his art easel--a birthday gift from eight months ago!


Now that I'm home with the boys full-time, I think a little more organization in the house will help our days be a little smoother and help me feel like the house may be a little cleaner than it actually is! Not to mention the wonderfully freeing feeling that purging stuff brings. I've found very little to purge thus far, but I hope my next round of organizational activities (here comes the laundry room!) will find more stuff to get rid of. Ah, here's to a little bit of sanity in small spaces!
