The Ladies over at Happy to be at Home have come up with a great challenge: End ‘08 Great! The reasoning behind this challenge is that we all seem to plan for the New Year and think of all the wonderful things we will accomplish… then July rolls around, and where are we? Well, if you are like me… you are kind of chalking this year up as well, not a loss… but I might as well start planning for next year.

So - we are going to claim the last 6 months of the year and make it count!!!! I am so in!!! Anyone care to join me?

This month’s challenge is “Conquer the Clutter” Oh man… anyone that knows me, knows that this can only be a good thing. I have a thing for clutter. It is inherited… I swear!!!!

To keep me motivated and accountable… I will post pictures.

My first task will be decluttering the school room/ my office. Oh man, lots of clutter going on there. School books we have finished, notebooks we don’t use, movies all over the place, pictures, pictures and more pictures all over and scrapbook stuff galore. It’s a big ol’ mess!So - here are the before pictures and I hope to have the afters by the end of the week.

Wish me luck guys, I’m going in!(Oh my goodness - I can’t believe I am posting these! What a mess!)


Oh boy - ok - I need to take the girls to gymnastics then, then Mess - HERE I COME!

First of all, I just love that office/schooling area that you have! I’m sure it seems worse than it is. That’s how projects like this always seem to be.

Secondly, we are so excited to have joining our challenge! It’s going to a be a wonderful 6 months.

Keep up the good work. I can’t wait to see your progress

I agree with 3 Moms~ I heart your office!!!

Todd just spent last weekend organizing our garage~ I wish I would’ve thought to take some before photos! It really looks nice now.

Sounds like a fun challenge you’re doing ( :

Can I just say I am so coveting your bookshelves! They are gorgeous!

And we’re so glad to have you joining us in our Conquer the Clutter Challenge at Happy to be at Home. I still have to get started on my de-cluttering projects, of which I have many!
