Happy Monday! Post Holiday clean up and the beginning of a fresh new year is always a
great time to tackle some organization projects around the home. So, today I’m taking part in Julie Blanner’s blog link up of ideas designed to motivate your own organizational efforts.

One of my best posts on keeping my closet (above) organized can be found here. I also have a few ideas for purging your unwanted clothes here. Unlike my pantry-which is still a work in progress, my closet is super organized. I go out of my way to stay on top of it if it starts to get a little chaotic. You can see the before and after photos of my closet make over here.

For me, and I’m sure the same holds true for many of you as well, “Outside order contributes to inner calm.” This is a quote from Gretchen Rubin’s podcast (highly recommend) It’s no coincidence that I often listen to this while putting away laundry or organizing parts of my home. I think most of us just want to feel peaceful and calm at home-a sense of control over some parts of our lives.

Which brings me back to my pantry-despite best efforts (see this post) – I still find myself wishing we had a more organized system for maintaining tidy shelves and over all order…but with three kids and a dog, this might be wishful thinking…

Be sure to visit all the other participating blogs below for some great tips and ideas for making 2017 your most organized year yet! Hopefully, these posts will inspire you with fresh ideas.
