This year I have been cleaning house. I have been focusing on getting rid of the clutter. I’ve been keeping track of my progress too…
If I’ve done my math correctly, I’ve removed 2,425 pieces of clutter from the house. I have a few months left, and there is still clutter to tackle. We’ll see how the rest of the year wraps up.
I love to yard sale, and hit the thrift stores too. I’ve found a lot of fun items that I’ve used to decorate our house.
I spotted these vintage pillow cases at a fantastic sale. They were priced just right too. Agnes loves them on her bed, she calls them her flower-bed.
I’m waiting for a cold day to wear this super-cool jacket. Right now it is chilling out on a chair, just waiting for the weather to change.
This little quilt ventures all over the house. It was a $5.00 buy at a yard sale, and it looks cute draped over the big blue chair. I think it is going to come in handy when Winter hits.
I love this little photo under the stairs. It was a $.50 buy at a yard sale. I think it’s cute.
I picked up this book at a sale too. I remember reading it to my brother when he was little. I think my kiddos will like it too.
A yard-sale find shirt, and Halloween waxed lips from Grandma.
Lastly Agnes spotted this kitty at a sale, and it had to come home with us. Agnes has become quite the yard sale fan too.
The dining-room needs a change. Yesterday I started taping off the room, in hopes that I will get motivated to paint. Agnes helped too, she got to smooth out the tape. I don’t know if I will let her help with the painting though.
Well September wasn’t my best month… I was hoping that with the boys back in school I would deep clean the house, and have a yard sale. Neither of these have happened…
The school paper clutter has started to pile up on my desk, and I’ve brought in more items thanks to the yearly yard sales. I didn’t start de-cluttering until the very end of the month, so I didn’t do so well.
I ended up cleaning another 139 items out of the house. I hope to do better in October. I’m still sticking with my goal of making 2012 the year of de-cluttering, but the year is winding down fast.
Yay! October has arrived, it is my very favorite month. I can’t wait to celebrate a few birthdays, an anniversary, and go trick-or-treating with the kids too. October is the best. I’ve got a tasty menu planned and it is full of Fall favorites. Here we go it’s October’s Monthly Dinner Menu:
Time to make some shopping lists, and get to it. Happy October everyone!
