New Year - Get Organized!

January is the month for new beginnings

1. Get organized. Spring is right around the corner - clear out holiday clutter by putting away the holiday decorations and the Christmas presents. Donate decorations that didn't make it out of storage this year to make room for some fresh ones.

2. Declutter. Start small in the basement or in storage closets where clutter likes to hide out. Storage bins are typically on sale this time of year so it's a great time to stock up. Donate or sell those unused things that take up space and don't bring you joy.

3. Clean out the fridge. After the holidays, leftovers and ingredients pile up in the back of the refrigerator and freezer. Take a few minutes to empty them and check expiration dates. Having the fridge empty is a great time to wipe it down with a sanitizer.

4. Toys toys toys! Children mature and outgrow toys so quickly. Right after Christmas, there always seems to be an abundance and no place for all the new ones to go. This is a great opportunity to go through the toy boxes and set aside the age appropriate ones to keep. Donate the old toys to friends or families in need.
