The Clutter of the Matter

I hate clutter and yet, for someone that hates it, I sure have a lot of it. I seem to accumulate stuff without even meaning to. You should see my pantry! It is a disgrace and quite frankly, embarrassing! Now, I am not saying I need to be on Clean House or Hoarders, but I do need to get some serious de-cluttering done!! It is amazing to me how much clutter weighs down on me and makes me feel blah!

I happened to catch Peter Walsh on Oprah awhile back. His specialty is getting rid of the clutter. So, to that end I bought his book and workbook called It’s All Too Much. I am hoping this book and workbook will give me some practical tools to use in getting the clutter out and keeping it out. I will get them in about a week.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t taught how to do a lot of this growing up, so I am making up for lost time. =) I am sure my mom would love to come help me now!! LOL She might enjoy the finished product more.

Cause let’s face it, if I can’t keep a clean house when it is just me and my dog, how in the world am I going to keep it clean for a husband and kids?! See? You know I was going there, huh?

I am tempted to post pictures of the before and after, but I am not sure I could get past the embarrassment of the before pictures. We will see how brave I am feeling.
