Resolution Update




Step 1 of the 'Big Goal of '09' was to get more organized. So I began with our filing system. I went through old bills and statements and purged the old and out-dated and re-filed them in folders with printed labels. Much neater and more efficient. 

Check out this site to help you determine when to discard different types of paperwork.

Also, I found this awesome book on Amazon that has been a wonderful help with ideas for getting the house in order. It has tips on everything from how to fold a fitted sheet, to Green alternative cleaners, to a whole list of the treatments for different laundry stains. A must read for any housewife, or OCD organizer!
