Uncluttering Makes A Huge Mess

So after staying at my parents house for a week, I realized I like how comfy and spacious their house feels even though it isn't the biggest house in the world. Our place is basically the same idea. It's not the biggest but has the potential to be set up nicely.

I'm just starting spring cleaning a little early :) So far, we've given away about 35ish shirts to goodwill, thrown out loads of empty boxes and misc. trash. It's impressive how much stuff you hold on to for no reason. The living room and dining area look a little too vacant now, they need some pics hung up. I'm working on that next.

So I tore apart the entertainment center and ended up having to call Lexi in to help me set it up since she knew better what wires could reach where or be moved at all. Looking around in the midst of this made me realize what a big mess I was making. It's funny because no matter how messy you think something is, you always have to make a bigger mess to get it cleaned up.

I'm pretty excited to go home tonight and sit in the living room and look around. I made a plan to start from the front (check) and work my way to the back. Tonight I will tackle the hall closest, our geocaching stuff is a little scattered and we have geo-stuff everywhere!
