Organize, downsize, prioritize.

eeeeeeeeeeeee

the beginning of a new year. a fresh start. oh yes, i am taking advantage of another chance. i deep, deep cleaned our rooms this weekend (ha, i love how i say our rooms, like i'm a third grader or something), and i intend to keep them clean always. have a little faith, it can happen. 

last night i went through mine & justin's clothes and got rid of a bunch of stuff. we had to make room for the new additions we made to justin's professional wardrobe and it felt good to clear out stuff we don't use. 


we also installed some new little shelves for ezra's books. an idea i stole from my cousin kelsey's blog that she stole from another blog. only when kelsey went to ikea to purchase the shelves, she couldn't find them. i guess i got lucky. (sorry, kels!)

it is absolutely necessary to be organized when living in small spaces, especially when you have a lot of stuff. and we have A LOT of stuff. i decided to show you how much stuff we have.
