I swear I already wrote this blog and I can't seem to find it anywhere, so this is why my word of the year fits what I need most: organize! The last couple of years I feel I have become not so organized like I use to. With the kids getting older, everything seems to get harder. I thought with them being smaller it would be harder. The activities and running around makes my time for myself much more limited like it use to be.
So let's get to it and start organizing for 2025! This week I head to Dallas for the buying show and I am going with arms wide open. I normally attend the Atlanta show, but it's time for something new. Ready to be more inspired, get out of Michigan, see some sunshine and have some girl time and of course come back with some new goodies for the shop!
I have some big projects with organizing this month and next month. It may not seem too big, but for me it is. I've decided my 'catch all' tiny office is too little and too close to everyone's bedrooms upstairs. I will be taking one of the spare rooms in the basement and turning that into my home office. The 'tiny office' upstairs will become Johnny's bedroom so each boy will have their own bedroom. I'm going to get started on this next week!
In between all the moving things around, I will be tossing papers and things I hardly ever use and organizing the boys' school totes by grade, photos, personal office papers, shop catalogs, gift wrap supplies and so on.
My next organizing project after the office switch is the garage. Not fun, but needs to be done!
So wish me luck and I hope I will be more organized so then I can function better and be more productive and less stressed. A win win!
Lets go new year and new goals!
