So here is where I am coming from...

I have a great life. A perfect family. I quit a stressful job, started my own business and get to stay home with my kids. I love my husband. He loves me. I love Jesus. He loves me. Why in the world do I struggle with feeling "choked" or overwhelmed or not knowing where the heck to start? I am far from a hoarder, I can get my house close to a magazine cover if you give me a 20 minute notice. But please do not look in our closets, or under my bed, or heaven forbid you look in my nightstand. Anyone who has ever been to my house knows about my sunroom.

WHY AM I LIVING THIS WAY? I am way to busy to be able to just make a Saturday off and just go for it so in my mind if I can't do it all at once, I won't do it at all. That makes sense....NOT. And I also feel that this clutter is keeping me from other tasks...like thank you notes from the girls for Christmas gifts. Well, now that it is April, I officially will not worry about that but then I feel guilty, more overwhelmed and like I cannot breathe.

So here is my goal:
I am going to throw one thing away a day and write about it on this blog. If I share why I was holding on to it or what was going on in my mind, maybe it can free me up a little and also inspire someone else while I am at it. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD LIKE THIS!!!

Imagine my life after 90 days, 180 days, or wow can you imagine my linen closet after I throw away 365 things. We all could live with a lot less, some of you just don't know it yet.

For all of my environmental friends, I will take proper measures with chemicals and such.
For all of you who think I am wasteful, if I feel there is true value in it, I will put it on my curb with a FREE sign.
For those of you who think I shouldn't throw anything away, maybe you shouldn't read this blog.

  1. Lori Girl...You are not alone! I still have not sent out the rest of my wedding thank you cards or for the baby gifts. Sometimes, as moms we can only do so much. Everything else not so important needs to go on to the back burner. People should understand. If not, then they put importance on the wrong things. And as for the clutter..if you want to feel better about your house you can come to mine and see my clutter! hahaha
