To prepare I am working with my sister-in-law, Caralin, to work on her space at her parent's house (she doesn't live here any more). She did a great job today sorting through her items. We have a significant pile that has gone to recycling and another significant pile that is going to the Salvation Army. I'm so proud of her! I hope I do half as well next week when she comes to my house to urge me to purge.
I also roped my husband into helping complete a bathroom project at the in-laws. He installed three towel rack holders and a light fixture (that apparently has been collecting dust for 13 years). The other day I gave it a good cleaning (it was the least I could do with 16 people showering it daily!) and even vacuumed the ceiling and the fan from some cobwebs. I even took down a dark shower curtain to lighten up the shower stall. It's so pretty now and mom-in-law is ecstatic. I don't know who is happier - her because I'm helping get some stuff organized or me because she's spending time with the kiddies and I'm doing what I love to do without anybody hanging off me.
The more I'm organizing things the more I wonder if I wouldn't want to do this as a business on the side?Labels: household management
