I always knew that when we decided to actually move it was going to be a huge deal! You never realize how much stuff you have till its time to go through it! Thanks goodness Ronnie was home all weekend and we could get started! My goal was to have the girls rooms completely cleaned and organized! So I grabbed one of my favorite sitters and sent them out the door for a few hours!
I started on Haley's room knowing it was going to be the worst! This child has the hardest time letting anything go and is very good in hiding everything she has ever been given!
Most of this junk I found under her bed! It took me a good hour but I had this room in tip top shape!
Jordan's room was not near as bad.. but I asked her to pick up some stuff for me so that I could get started and this was her idea of picking up!
Needless to say she needs some guidance in this area! I so want to take down that side rail on her bed..it drives me crazy! The bedding never looks right but she is a crazy sleeper and when its not up there is a 99% chance she will end up on the floor in the middle of the night screaming cuz she fell off!
Her room didn't take me near as long..hoping it can stay this clean!
After hours of cleaning, organizing, and trashing tons of junk I actually started a pretty good garage sale pile! The key though is keeping the girls out of this stuff and convincing them they don't need any of this anymore!
All while I did this Ronnie had his hands full with cleaning the laundry room! It doesn't sound that bad but the builder had a great idea of putting 4 shelves in the laundry room for organization.. When in reality those shelves were really used for storing junk, all my craft supplies, too lazy to walk to the bedroom so lets sit it here junk and any other item we could fit on those shelves! Very disappointed I didn't get a before and after picture of this being it was probably the most challenging task of the day!
I can say that our first weekend of preparing to move was a success!!
