Because I love goals so much per my post yesterday – One of my readers told me last week about her Project 52 – Setting 52 goals for this year. I thought I could incorporate it into my 52 Weeks of Organizing post. I figured even if I just had the goals to do the 52 organizing that would work. But as I wrote out my 52 goals I found quite a few to work on and only some are organizing.
I am excited to have a place to be accountable for what goals I have set, especially for things that are daily or weekly. I will put the whole list in my sidebar and usually just update on what I have accomplished that week in the post.
Anyway here is my whole goal list for the year and my organizing post is under that. The italicized ones are things that are daily/weekly or monthly.
Rob and I talked and decided it was time to try and move all the toy storage up to T3’s room. He has plenty of storage in his room already after my huge de-cluttering in the fall. So I just took what was downstairs and incorporated it upstairs.
I asked him if I could get rid of the Rescue Heroes. He said I could put them up high in the closet. (Where I have put toys to rotate in and out of his room.)
I also went through all his animals, people and cars again. Getting rid of the McDonald Toys which manage to reproduce at night.
He still had too many cars. I had a lightbulb moment and decided to get rid of the ones with advertising on them!
These are the ones I donated to charity! I don’t even know where I got these from. It irks me to no end that advertising is so prevalent and geared towards kids! So it felt great to get rid of them. I will admit I kept the DHL truck as he loves those long trucks and I figured that DHL is a real truck he sees on the road and it delivers packages – good imagination play. Vs Coca Cola which he also may see, but is a soda truck. We don’t need that.
Now the big questions are:
Where did we move the shelves? Up to Thing 2’s room. That will be another weeks project of helping him organize his Lego’s better. Now he at least will have a good system to do so.
I will be honest T3 cried actual sobbing last night when we brought the shelves upstairs. He was so sad to see them go. I assured him his toys were upstairs. That he could see the shelves in his brothers room. He asked me to put him to bed and cried himself to sleep. This morning when he woke up he came downstairs, remembered they were gone, went up into his brothers room and said hi to the shelves.
For those wondering about all the pictures on the window. My DH threw me a surprise 40th birthday party in Sept and the pictures are still up. That will be an easy organizing chore. 🙂
