Ok, I work a little differently. I have to assign myself a challenge per day, otherwise it is overwhelming. I would love to have people join me and report back to let us know how you did for that day.

My challenge today is to work on my paper mess and try to get the majority of my desk cleaned off.

What is your challenge?

My Sunday decluttering challange will be to organize my cupboards and refrigartor & take stock of what i have and to get the top of my & dh's closet cleaned out.(its not really that bad).. will be reporting back

My challenge today was to declutter/purge through my kitchen cupboards, and they are done! And look good!!! Yay me!

My challenge is to go through my pantry and fridge and make my meal plan for the week. Also, to go through all my magazines to take to recycling tomorrow.

I want in on this one! My challenge was to go through my dresser drawers and get rid of underwear, old bras, very old bathing suits, hosiery, and anything else that no longer belongs! It is all done! I filled a kitchen garbage bag full!

Our challenge today is the garage.....we're getting there.

It's a little difficult, cuz it's mostly DH's stuff, hard to get him motivated sometimes....but we're almost there.

My challenge was to get the bill paying/incoming mail organized. I was trying to pay bills in the upstairs office. That room is not very motivating to me! Finally, I convinced myself to clear out a drawer in the kitchen with a small file in it. Now, I just have to pull it out when it is time to pay bills!

Ugh what a pain...I can't keep my house clean because by hubby and DD (age 5) have issues picking up which makes my house look cluttered when most things are well organized. I have my little ones toys organized in boxes on shelves she can access in her closet and the boxes end up all over the place...but she is starting to learn. Now I just wish I could train my hubby...but his Mom made him a house cleaning slave for several years and now he freaks if he is asked to help more then occassionally. While he was on college break he would work 60+ hours a week split between a required internship and a part time job...when he would get home late on the weekends she would make him stay up and clean for 3-4 hours after everyone went to bed and expected him to keep the house clean for her....a SAHM with no little ones. Heres hoping my little one gets better about picking up and I can convince my hubby to help out more before the little one comes. Everything has a place...hopefully they can figure that out before I go crazy.

I like this idea. Unfortunately I had a party to go to today, but I'll participate next time. Tommorrow my challenge will be to get the floors cleaned and the new furniture we finally got delivered this weekend in the right spots and dusted. wish me luck.
