I just spent the last few hours cleaning out my son's closet and drawers with him.
I have both my girls doing the same in their own rooms.
Even my husband is sifting through his sock and underwear drawers today!
This is the week where we go thru everything, throw out, sort for goodwill, and organize the new stuff.
I think it must be that time for everyone, because when i went into Lowes this morning for a couple of small shoe-box-sized plastic containers for my son's different card collections, and some plastic hangers, everyone else seemed to be buying organization-type items too!
The next thing I'm tackling is the funniest one....our 'everything drawer'.
The 'everything drawer' is the catch-all drawer in my kitchen that defies organization!
Among other things, ours holds scotch tape, a screwdriver, a ruler, a pair of scissors, birthday candles, thumb tacks, a couple screws, washers, batteries, glue gun, glue sticks, elmers glue, paper clips, a back scratcher, tape measure, a deck of playing cards, pens, pencils, sharpeners, a couple permanent markers, a car air freshener, string, christmas ornament hooks, a flashlight, a key ring, and elastic bands.
Usually I go thru this drawer and attempt to find homes for all of the items that find their way there. You know, i'll take the office supplies and bring them back to my desk in here, i'll take the tool-type items and move them out to the area in the garage that is home to that type stuff, etc.
But somehow, over the course of the year, odd things always end up back in the drawer.
I wonder sometimes, does everyone have an everything-drawer?
Once I'm done organizing the un-organizable I'm moving onto the pantry.
Are you organizing this week too?
What needs organizing at your house?
