Tackle the basement!
Number one priority this year

is to reclaim the basement. We have a large finished room down there that was/is a kids playroom – but want to change it to be “teen friendly”.

Declutter toys & craft supplies. Repaint. Organize.

Just some beginning thoughts. It’s packed full of toys & all our craft supplies. Not to mention our pool is stored in that room. I’d have to find a new home/place to store it.



40 bags in 40 days (read all 8 entries…)
Lately

I’ve been on a decluttering kick again.

The plastic container cabinet was hit. Matched all the bowls with lids and got rid of the excess. 49 lids with no bowls. 3 bowls with no lids. How does this happen?

Threw out all those junky water bottles in another cabinet. Packed away all the Ikea kids plates, bowls & cups. In the event I have a niece or nephew come over some time in the future.

Front closet – winter has hit here so I pulled out the totes of hats & stuff. Got rid of some things NO ONE would ever wear in this house. Organized the boots & coats as well.

Slowly but surely.



floss my teeth daily
Last December

My dentist told me that if I didn’t start flossing, I was going to lose my bottom front teeth. I’m having bone loss (probably getting osteoporosis like my Mom, but at 44 my Dr. won’t test me for it. That’s a whole nother thing)

I’ve been flossing daily since some time in December. I’ve missed about 3 days. But all in all doing well. Incorporated it into my morning routine.

Why haven’t I been doing this before?
