Well, here it is dear friends... my first challenge for all of us for the year.... to organize our homes in 2023...
We have been "home" for almost a year and a half now... I think I've already told you that our house was rented out while we were overseas... and last time we left we packed everything up into a 40ft container on our property, (including DH's car!), so that we would not have to start from scratch when we came back.
You can see the container outside my studio windows here!
It was great unpacking and seeing all the things that were in storage... but the problem was that we had accumulated more stuff in the 5 years we had been away. We had two house-fulls to fit into our home, plus what was in the container.....
So when we moved home I decluttered... I was ruthless with some things... and then in the new year I ran out of energy.... as I've said a few posts ago, 2022 wasn't a good year, so I never actually finished decluttering and organizing my home.
As I was getting over Covid last week, I looked around the house and decided that this year would be the year!
I considered doing what I always do in January - go around the house madly and ruthlessly declutting and organizing and then burn out... but since I was still not feeling well, I stopped myself.... and told myself to give it the whole year to do it properly.
Hence the Organize Your Home in 2023 Challenge....
There are probably hundreds of people out there that are more qualified than me to host this challenge... but if you would like to muddle along with me this year, you are most welcome to!
I am setting up a new area on my website to host this challenge, and I will be posting the week's challenge every Sunday evening... ready for the week to come.
There will be printables to help us on our journey... and I am thinking we will need some relevant stitcheries to keep us motivated - don't you think?
I'll see you on Sunday!
