When you visit Bec at Little Lucy Lu you will be greeted by her bubbly and candid personality, along with some great ideas. So fun. I've only just recently met Bec through blogland, but she is truly sweet and has been so helpful to me on my blogging adventure! Make sure to check out Little Lucy Lu, especially her laundry room and craft room - good stuff!!
So on to the 40 Bags 40 Days concept. The concept is to fill a bag every day for 40 days to purge your house (good timing with Lent coming up this week). It will be such a relief to clear the clutter!! I cannot wait to get started. In fact, I got a jump start this weekend in the kids' playroom! I was in the cleaning groove, so I had to go with it! Ended up with a grocery bag of trash, half a bag of paper to be recycled and a huge bin of toys to be donated! Depending on the space, I'm sure I will have bags as big as garbage bags and bags as small as grocery bags, but a bag none-the-less. So are you with me? Let's get a purging!! Here's my list of 40 bags...could change of course, but this is what I'm thinking....
- Laundry Room
- Cubbies
- Half bath vanity
- Craft/gift closet
- Hall cleaning closet
- Coat closet
- Living room side of Playroom
- Dining room side of Playroom
- Lower craft cupboards
- Upper craft cupboards
- Craft drawers
- Junk drawer by sink
- Upper cupboard to right of sink
- Pantry
- Refrigerator
- Spare room closet - that may take a week to go through and give me about 10 bags
- Kid's bathroom closet
- Erin's closet
- Jake's closet
- Kyle's closet
- Master closet
- Erin's shelves
- Old DVD's
- Master bath vanity
- Basement shelves - don't even want to go there
- Car
- Purse
- Nightstand
- Magazine bin
- Office - desk
- Office - shelf 1
- Office - shelf 2
- Box that's been sitting in my office I think since we moved in.
- Box 2, same thing.
- Box my mom brought over from her house
- The other box my mom brought over from her house
- Hand me down bags
- Table in the basement
- Trunk in the family room
- Bins in playroom
I love this idea. We moved less than a year ago so that rally helped with purging, but I'm pretty sure I have 40 bags just of kid stuff to get rid of. Thanks for the idea, I'm a new follower from the Mommy Blog Hop.
