Hi, I'm Mama Soup. I am the home manager for this crazy clan and I have made it my personal mission to record, here on this blog, our attempts at simplifying our life. I am usually wearing an apron and either cooking up some treat or thinking about what I can cook. I also love to paint, jog and drink hot tea. Welcome and thanks for visiting.

De-Cluttering update

In a nut shell, it's not going well.

Hum, let me put a positive spin on that; I still have a lot of opportunity to organize in my future.

Why you ask? What has happened? Children. Children and (to be honest) just keeping up with my daily tasks that would take much LESS time if I simplified all the stuff I have to do. Simplifying is much harder than it seems like it should be. I think I need to break it down and be more black and white.

Tomorrow is a good day to start. Three of the four children are in school and the fourth usually happily goes along with whatever I suggest. Tomorrow I will go through my clothes.

I'm not a crazy fashionista by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have way more clothes than I need. I generally only wear the top layer of stuff from the pile on my closet floor, so I'm pretty sure the stuff on the bottom I could actually just set aside for Goodwill and never know the difference. However, I will have to go through it and just look one more time to make sure (you never know what I might find).

So, tomorrow it is. I have committed. I will post my success (and maybe even a picture) when I am done. Wish me luck!

Peace,
Mama Soup

  1. Good luck! It'll take a lot of discipline to do that on a pretty fall day!
