Getting Started

Well lets start this blog out with a simple Hello and Welcome to my Blog. I'd like to hear from you what you'd like to see and learn here. I have 33 years of Cleaning Experience and can pretty much figure what it takes to get it done. My first and for most rule to a clean home is
"GET IT ORGANIZED"..then the rest comes easy. Organization means less is more people!!! There are rules to follow if you want tidy. Don't think cause you've gone to someones house and it's clutter free it's sanitary and clean. Many people do not know how to clean they think they do but they don't. A sanitized house is impossible no one has that not even a hospital. A good clean home is possible but remember start from the top and work down that's key. Rid of clutter..if it's in a drawer and not being used what would you normally do? Well ask yourself these questions.

1) When did I last use this?
2) What's it's purpose?
3) Do I really need this?
4) Can I sale,re-purpose,or give this away?

Many people collect clutter they pile their mail and adds all over their counter tops and then shove them in drawers. If it's dated and over the date toss,toss,toss it..I find that I was better organized if I had a big desk calender on my desk and took my kids school papers and announcements and wrote time,date and what it was for to keep myself on top of her school things. If it piles on a counter you won't look at it again and sometimes you won't be able to find it. Once the kids hands that announcement to you go write it down and toss the paper. There are so many things you can do to de-clutter..Kids these days have more toys then they will use in a life time. Keep their toys to a minimum amount. If it brakes and you don't fix it that day then toss it the next. It will not get fixed. I promise this is a big thing..If it sits in a toy box longer then a year toss it or donate it or give it away to some kid that will appreciate it and play with it. Lots of children out there that have nothing. Cloths if not worn out or torn up and no longer fit, have no reason to be in a drawer of closet..if you haven't worn it in a year you won't wear it and Ladies (I'm one of them) Skinny jeans..OK good come on how long have you held onto those skinny jeans anyway? Over a year? Then get rid of them..the style changes so why hold on? Really now why?? Will I ever wear my size 10 again? I say not and Mine finally went bye bye three months ago oh girls it was painful very painful but really holding onto cloths for 25 years is stupid...LOL...My belts though are still in my closet and I do wear them..Vintage belts are amazingly fun to wear..I do own some Vintage clothing but I can wear them still and I do. Then there were cloths I bought dummy me did not try them on when I got home..Well did I find they were wrong for me and held onto them..oh I did..many gals can wear them and would love new cloths. Consignment stores are good to make a few bucks from. I know I Managed one when I was in College it was amazing how many things you can find in good and new condition for a fraction of the cost. I took new cloths that didn't fit or look good on me to a Consignment Store. If it didn't sale in a few months a good Consignment Store would call and let you know. Check monthly on any sales you may have gotten. You can make some good bucks this way. I also say do this with baby stuff to and good quality items to. With the Economy the way it is people will be thrift shopping away now. Well this has got me in the mood to do a funny card now..maybe tomorrow I'll post a card tutorial..And those of you that don't make your own cards shame on you shame shame..It's so simple and you can buy pre-cut kits from all sorts of sources and I'm one of them..LOL.. A handmade card is more sentimental and enjoyable these days and also eco-friendly cause they can be re-used for scrapbooking.. I'll get to that someday..but for now..Let's all get to Organizing our Homes!!!
