First month of my project

     I have committed to having month one focus on home. I am lacking discipline with housework.  Here's the areas that will require attention during this month to fulfill my resolution:

clothes-all of our closets need a good cleaning/purging, including all clothes, shoes, and accessories

books-oh a real problem here (Jeff), we need to purge and organize them and figure out a plan to intake/output ( i just can't get Jeff on board with the output part)

movies-we have to work on storage for everyones movies

papers-this ones all me, i have to revise my filing system and bill system to cut back on paper clutter

mementos- this stuff is everywhere, we need a system for preserving memories such as pictures, videos, art work and news clippings

toys- no explanation needed

     I am also committing to devising a morning and evening routine for myself and a chore list/chart for the kids with real enforcement. I have done this several times, but later let it go by the wayside. No more, this is it!
     I am going to run my months from the 15th to the 15th since I am getting a late start. I will try and post weekly with my progress. I am looking forward to getting this month done with and moving on to better things. I just have to make sure that our systems and routines will continue. Y'all got any suggestions?
     This months resolution: I will make my home a place that my family and I can enjoy, cherish, respect and be proud of. I will make it serve our needs while bringing us joy in our daily life.
