You’ve gotta start somewhere

I said that my theme for the year was simplicity.  And do you think I’ve done a single thing to work towards that goal?  Not at all.  Unless you count that I thought about it.  I’m really good at planning things, but not so great at the follow through.  

So today, I decided to just do something.  So, I cleaned out and re-organized the under sink cabinet in my downstairs bathroom.  This cabinet was so out of control, that I couldn’t even bring myself to take a before picture.  It was always overflowing with hand towels, make-up, hair accessories…I knew it was bad when I couldn’t find the curling iron to do Annie’s hair before the play.  It literally took me 30 min. to find it–it was buried under the clutter. {blush}.

So, this afternoon, I sat myself down with a trash bag and plunged in.  Amazingly enough just 15 minutes later and I was done.  Why do I put off these tasks, when they are so quick to finish?  Why do I convince myself that it’s going to take too long??  

So, here is my baby-step to a clutter-free, more simple life.  I present to you, my clean, tidy, uncluttered under-sink cabinet.  

Just look at all that space! Who knew?!
