Hello! I'm super excited to say that I began my 28 day challenge today! I divided my house into zones, and my zones into areas, and today I tackled the entryway closet. Believe it or not, I filled a large kitchen trash bag with items to donate that were outgrown or simply not being used. I straightened the shoes and threw out trash that mysteriously makes its way into the closet. I also went through the scarves, hats and mittens tub and found a few items to give away. My "to donate" bag will go right out to my van when I head out to pick up my kids from school.
Yesterday, I was so excited that I couldn't resist getting a little jump start on purging. I began by cleaning out our craft drawers in the dining room and sorting crayons, markers, and other art supplies. Yes, I sorted my kids' crayons by color. I divided the loot in half and put some back in their crayon bucket and some in a travel size container. The markers found a nice home in a used Pirouette tin. I love reusable containers! I also filled our kitchen trash can with old coloring books and other papers and projects that didn't make the "keep" cut.
That's all I have to report today. I probably won't post every day, but I wanted to get off to a good start. You're welcome to join in the fun this month. I look forward to reporting my progress, and the great feeling I'll have when it's all done!

Good job! I got rid of one bag... should I post about it? hmmm....
That is great! Love the crayon organization. I don't know why we keep buying more when there is a huge box at my parents' house from when we were little...you figure getting a pack from school each year times 6 years times 4 kids plus some crayons from we go out to eat plus sets we get for Christmas, etc....too much.
