I'm a terrible housekeeper.
I know. Hold your shock.
I'll be totally honest. I'm lazy. Really, really lazy. It doesn't help that I've married someone with the same affliction. Plus I have children? Nope. My poor house didn't stand a chance.
Now, don't look for me on an episode of Hoarders (is that still a thing?) but please give me at least a day's warning before dropping by...
because I'm cleaning with children.

I'm trying to make it easier on myself this year by decluttering and finding a home for everything.
Sounds huge, right? Impossible?
I'm doing this 52 Weeks to an Organized Home Challenge. It comes with 365 Declutter Missions.
Basically, you have a 15min task each day and a dedicated zone each week. That's it. That's your focus. Do the other daily things to keep your house running, but only focus extra hard on that specific area.
It's working. Really.

See those canisters in the top photo? Those were part of my recent "free for a review" haul.
They work really well with the rest of my stainless steel kitchen. I put flour, rice, sugar, and coffee (duh) in them.
I'll also say they arrived at my house really fast. MUCH faster than anticipated.
You can buy some here if you like. (Psst, they're seriously discounted right now so maybe grab some)

I feel pretty good about this challenge. We'll see how that goes when summer comes around and I have both kids at home...
That just means drunken cleaning right?
