Post-Christmas Urge To Purge

in April 2013 Moms
There is so much STUFF in this house that I want to rent a dumpster and pitch it all! We'll not really, what I really want is to be super organized and clutter free. It doesn't help that we've been stuck inside all week because of the weather and I haven't figured out how to store all the toys LO received for Christmas (we didn't open everything, I put some away [unopened] for a rainy day) Our living area is small, so I need to be on top of this. Just me? Anyone else feeling twitchy to chuck stuff?

    Omg I have been going crazy trying to get things together. The holidays destroyed our house! I've been working on it little by little each day but I feel like something else always comes up. I need a week alone in my house... a girl can dream. ;-)

    I can't stand the clutter either. Honestly, I sell everything as soon as she outgrows it, but she is also going to be our one and only child so there's no point in everything sitting here gathering dust.

    I got some big flat baskets that fir under our coffee table and keep his toys in there. Our house is really open concept s there's really no good "play area" where things are out of sight. We didn't go too overboard. Though, and luckily our parents didn't, either.

    Absolutely! With our two boys and christmas, there is crap all over the place. I am losing it. But LO is sick and we are so tired from being up all night that it just keeps getting put off.

    I have some baskets that fit under furniture, and they work really well for the smaller things. Items like the activity cube, push toy, etc, are a bit harder to find spots for. And it's just the clutter in general. The closets need to be cleaned out, clothing needs to be donated. There's a partial bottle of vodka on the sideboard, maybe I should start with that....

    Oh heck yeah, I already did one pass through LO's bedroom two days after Christmas, bagging up outgrown clothes (for the ten billionth time), and getting rid of crap we don't need.  

    Round 2 commences this weekend, since we won't be leaving the house.

    True. We have a zany zoo and jumparoo that just sit out. Also, R has just figured out how to thwart my organizational system:
