I recall last year seeing a 40 bags in 40 day cleaning challenge (probably on Pinterest, heck I think I even pinned it to my Organizing board), but never quite got around to it. I don't know if its this winter that will not end or my house is being over ran with "stuff"...probably a little bit of both, but something needs to be done. SO I decided this is perfect, doing it little by little so not to get overwhelmed and give up. I decided to allot 20-30 minutes in the evening, if I only get a little bit done, that's fine, just as long as i keep it up. I started last night with the cabinets by our frig and microwave. They were filled with all sorts of kitchen items, many of which we never or rarely use. I actually now have EMPTY spaces in both! I was on a roll so I moved to the top of our frig (disaster!). My husband, who is 6'8" is always placing stuff on top and because well I'm much shorter than him, I never remove it. When it was all said and done I had 2 bags and a box, one bag for trash and the box and other bag for donation. Tonight I take on the girls book shelf and their stuff animals - Oh Vey!
