Day 2 of a kicker of a Migraine had me climbing the walls this week. I was so tired of looking at my bedroom ceiling and sick of my audiobook. I decided to try sitting up in the office for a little bit… No screens so couldn’t “work” but knew I had a order to grab.

While in the office, I noticed some things that needed to be put away (it was a mess after a busy holiday vendor season), that led to completely re-organizing my storage bins… Which led to purging the bookcase.

It felt so good to be able to do something productive, even though my brain felt like it was trying to kill me. I took rest time between rooms and moved slowly.

To wrap up the day, I organized and cleaned out the China hutch and tea pot display cupboard in the kitchen.

The day really ended up being similar to the children’s story If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (which was one of the books, I decided to keep on the bookshelf).

Can you believe I took three bags of garbage out of these areas?? It feels so good to have these spaces organized!

Have you done a New Year cleanup? I have some encouragement for you if you are thinking of tackling one.  Focus on one area at a time. Play some music in the background and have your garbage bags and box for donations ready. You can do it!

Here are my cleaned spaces
