What about you? What are you hoping to get done in September? Let us know, so we can cheer you on.
Now you are motivating me to try to declutter 50 items! That sounds like a fun challenge. You have some great goals. I like that you throw in some fun things as well. Makes that "to-do" list so much more manageable.
ReplyDeleteLoving all of the decluttering goals people are coming up with! And yes, I definitely try to add fun goals in to round out the "work" ones. ;-) - HP
DeleteMy September goals are recover the kitchen chairs, declutter 50 items, do 10 things toward Christmas, finish deep cleaning the laundry room, pool bath, and dressing room.
ReplyDeleteThose are great goals, Anne! I need to continue to work on our shower, which is an absolute mess thanks to a leak we had, among other problems. - HP
DeleteAdd me to the declutter group as a goal. I realky just need to pick up my July list that went to August and niw still mostly incomplete. My house is in chaos because my daughters apartment move was chaos and I have spillover. Im hoping by mid month we're moving towards a new normal.
ReplyDeleteYou are in the group for decluttering & we will cheer you on! I find that when one of the boys are in transition, our house becomes chaos & the landing spot for either items to pack, items to unpack, or storage. Hope things settle down for you! - HP
