National Procrastination Awareness Week

Did you know it's National Procrastination Awareness Week? What are you doing to stop procrastination, something that affects 5 in 5 Americans today?

Okay, maybe I just made that up, but I'm declaring that in my own house, if anyone wants to join me. I'm determined this week to cross off some of those items that always sink to the bottom of the (non-existent) to-do list. Some of the items I hope to accomplish this week:

-Cleaning the refrigerator and pantry (yuck)
-Catching up on at least a year's worth of filing/trashing
-Finding some way to organize/store Big A's art that she brings home from school and now art class every day - I'm hoping to find some creative ideas on Pinterest for this one...
-Going through the bazillion toys to get rid of the broken and donate the ones we don't use in preparation for the onslaught of new toys from the holiday season
-Go through Big A's craft box to pull out the trash and organize it a bit better so she can use more of the items. I love that she is so into art, but its a messy hobby!
-Clean out all the toys and junk that have collected in our cars. You'd be amazed at the wacky stuff that ends up in my car these days.

If you have any great organization ideas, I would love to hear them! Kids just seem to equal clutter and it is a never-ending battle to keep up with it all. But its amazing how much calmer a house feels when there's a place for everything and everything in its place. I'll keep ya'll posted on how I do.
