I know I started this idea in the summer, however with the first floor remodel not working out the way I thought I needed to make changes. So I focused on my classroom instead. However now it is time to start thinking about my house again.
I found this quote in the book I was reading last spring, it has been on my mind as I have awaited for my first floor remodel to be complete. Which of course, it never was.
“I strive to keep my garden small, but to care for it joyfully and well. We bloom here.”
Katrina Kenison
If I can keep my life and house clean and simple and care for it joyfully and well, I know I will be able to make the decisions that will lead me to becoming the best version of myself. Right now, I have the world's most disorganized cluttered basement. I find it hard to move forward in this house with all the clutter I have. I need to work through each space and simplify.
I want to start in the basement and work my way up to the top of the house. Here is my plan for the next month. Please keep in my that I work outside of the house full-time teaching first grade so I only have a limited amount of time each night to work on my goal.
I tried to break my goal into 31 small steps so that when the month is over I will have a clean and organized basement and bedroom, plus a photo book done.
