Is it me or does the nesting instinct not stop once you have a baby. I have been on a major clean out/clean up kick - or at least wanting to do a major clean out/clean up but not finding any time. I had some time on my hands this weekend - well really not really since it was just me and baby boy all weekend. But I was bound and determined to do something about my ugly closet that I was convinced didn't have a floor anymore.
I started the clean out, clean up on Saturday morning. By Sunday afternoon, I sent James a text with these two pictures and captions....

To be honest, I cleaned more than just my closet. I cleaned my drawers too. I ended up with 2 empty drawers. I have found some things to put in them, but they are still mostly empty. I found Christmas presents that had not been put away yet. I have 3 bags of clothes for my sister and sister and law to go through. (I cleaned out a bunch of work clothes. My new work from home gig (not really new) doesn't require half as many nice clothes) I have 2 bags for goodwill and that's just this clean out - I had at least 2 others I had previously gathered. I keep a bag on the floor in the closet and when something doesn't fit right or I look at it and think "I'll never wear that" I throw it in the goodwill bag.
It feels really good to have gone through everything and purged. However, I know I probably could have been a bit more brutal in my review and probably gotten rid of a lot more stuff. But this is an honest start and enough to mark it off the monthly to do list....Wonder where my nesting instincts will take me next month.....
