MMM: Un-making a mess
Posted by Mrs Zeee on 07/12/2009
Monday gets a bum rap and I am working to change that by making something positive out of the most dreaded of all days…
To participate, write a post on your blog about what you are doing to Make this Monday Matter for you…Some examples: volunteering, helping a friend move a sofa, donating time or a few dollars to charity, hitting the gym, spending QT with the kids after school, recycling, buying locally grown produce, calling dear Aunt Betty or, for some of you, just rolling out of bed and putting on a clean shirt — congrats!
Whatever it is, make your Monday a positive one and then pat yourself on the back.
Don’t forget to add your info to Mr. Linky and be sure to visit other bloggers on the list to share the love…
Wishing you a wonderful case of the Mondays :)

I don’t know how it happened but somehow my house became a haven for clutter. It’s insane. I would blame the baby, but frankly it’s not her fault that she’s so darn cute and therefore makes my husband and I feel compelled to buy her absolutely every gizmo and gadget under the sun…
So I am officially declaring this De-Clutter Monday.
There are piles of paper to toss, file and shred. There are various items of clothing, shoes and accessories that need to be stored or donated.
And there is quite a collection of toys that need to be sorted, packed away or returned for those that are still in boxes and way past age appropriate.
I feel overwhelmed, but when I have at least some of it done, I am bound to feel good…. Onward…
Happy Monday!

I look forward to learning about how you made Monday matter!
See you next week!

Sorry I didn`t participate this week. I wanted to get the Canadian Tire experience off my chest. The post took me so long to write that I had to time to write another.
Great choice for MMM.

Approaching my two year anniversary, my old bedroom in my mother’s house still looks like I live there. It’s really a family sickness, as we are emotional clutterbugs. I’m making baby steps and spent 2 hours today bagging up clothes for the poor (can’t tell you how many items still had tags on them) and throwing out papers. I even contemplated giving up shopping for a year (I don’t spend a lot, but I do love my Marshalls)….. maybe I’ll try a month.

Ciao Bella! Giving-up shopping is a lofty goal — good luck. I don’t think I could ever do it!!!

A friend gave me good advice that I need to work on…. 1 item in, 1 item out. That way you have to prioritize if you really need to make a purchase.
