  Totally Tackled- I got the entire house deep cleaned for M's birthday party. Floors, walls, baseboards, cupboards, the whole dang shebang. 
  
  Trying To Tackle- Reading more. I just finished my 6th book of the year. Which is 1,000% better than last year. I only read 2 books. My goal for the year is 12. 
  
  Hope to tackle- Organizing M's baby clothes and the gear that's in a pile in the basement. I need to buy more totes and dedicate a few solid hours to doing it.

  We just put in new tile in the kitchen/walkway areas on the 1st floor and just ordered new carpet for the living room, dining room, steps, and bedrooms.  We will have to move all of our furniture (uuuggghhhhh) so I want to tackle purging as much as possible in the process and getting everything super clean!  Lets be honest...the office and guest room don't get much love in the cleaning department...

  Same tackle wishlist, desperately want to deep clean the house and purge tons of clutter. But not sure when that will ever happen, there's always something else that needs attention!

  Finally finished AJs window in the nursery. I hemmed the drapes, and replaced the regular blinds with a blackout cordless, roman shade. 
  
  New thing to tackle - getting out budget under control (I took over it 2 months ago and it's in sad shape due to my loss of job and it taking a back seat to "baby" items)
  
  Second new thing to tackle - declitter and reorg my kitchen. I want to move things around to make them easier for DS to explore and get rid of a bunch of unnecessary items.

  Recently tackled: rearranged the dining room to make more room for twin terror play time. 
  
  Want to tackle: clean out our basement and get rid of all. the. things. I'm not a keeper, and we're done having kids after hitting the twin lottery, so I want to sell/donate/trash almost everything in our basement.

  TOTALLY TACKLED- One month ago we moved into our new house. The bottom picture I took today. We've painted every wall, new carpet in bedrooms, new hardwood laminates in the rest of the house, tore down 3 half walls, installed new cabinets and appliances. 
  
  TRYING TO TACKLE- counters are being installed in 2 weeks. We are working on installing white molding and painting doors. In 3 weeks 10 trees are being professionally cut down and we will use the wood chips and open space to make an outdoor play area. 
  
  HOPE TO TACKLE- meal planning once we have a working kitchen sink and dishwasher! I also want to start working out again. I'm active between chasing 2 kids, biking with them and working on the house but I'm actually missing running, ab  workouts and push-ups. Once the kitchen is done we are going to start remodeling the bathrooms.

  Totally tackled: going through E's baby clothes! Everything is in bins and sorted by size so it's all ready for the next one if it's a girl.
  
  Trying to tackle: my closet. I've gotten rid of so much stuff but I always feel like there's more.
  
  Hope to tackle: mold spots popping up around the apartment. We're in a basement so everything gets nasty. Anyone have any non-bleach remedies?

  @holly142 Holy Crap, lady! That's crazy awesome. Great job! 
  
  @schaze Plain old Distilled White Vinegar is great for most mold. Smells awful, but so does bleach and the smell will disappear once it dries.

  schaze - If you're able and depending on where the mold is popping up (if it is drywall) paint some Kilz, or Killz?? on it.  It will kill the mold and seal it to keep it from coming back.
