Lately, I've been working diligently to organize my entire life. On Friday evening, I organized our huge living room closet and ended up throwing out 2 whole garbage bags' worth of junk! Yesterday, I went through our kitchen cabinets and got rid of even more stuff. We had expired food, empty bottles of everything, (thanks, Thomas!), and other unnecessary things. That was a whole other garbage bag! I even cleaned out the fridge.
Impressive, right? :)
Today, my goal is to organize how we do our finances. When I go to the grocery store later, I'm going to pick up a binder and some page protectors. I'll probably get some sticky notes and fun new pens, too.
Organizing is always more fun when it's bright and colorful! I'm also much more likely so stay on track when I like to look at what I'm working on.
I'm still working on developing a system for bill-paying. Our bills are very lopsided, with 75% of the money coming out at the start of the month and 25% coming out toward the middle/end of the month. I'm also going to make some phone calls to try and remedy that situation!
And, of course, today is Sunday. I've already picked up my 2 newspapers and will be ready to clip coupons as soon as church is over!
Happy Sunday, friends!
