I think I'm going to start with the pantry/laundry room. I need to do some IP organization so I might as well clean the whole thing out! Unfortunately, I lost one cupboard to the cats - they have claimed it as their "hidey hole" for when they are stressed and need some quiet time. The good news is that it's over the dryer and I can't reach most of the cupboard anyway.
And how does this relate to IP? The discipline I have learned on P1 is carrying over to other parts of my life. The value I find in being organized in my eating is also of value in other parts of my life. Having my house as organized as my diet would be awesome!
Ruth Ann - we are in the last stages of getting our house to go on the market, This means not only painting and updating, but sorting out and packing extraneous 'stuff' - a lot goes to the thrift store.
What I happily discovered that IP did enter into this whole tiring process is that not only do I have the energy to do all this, I have the desire. IP seems to have given me the motivation to tackle things that I would have avoided before. Yesterday I was up well before dawn sanding, priming, painting, cleaning.
And yes to the organizing, too. I love opening my kitchen cupboards and seeing this neatly lined up and orderly. Now if I could teach the adorable males in my life the principle of 'put it back where and how you found it', life would be grand!
