The change of the seasons always puts me in the mood to do a good clear out. Actually, I get these moods often, even when the seasons aren’t changing, but the fall season seems to bring it on even more than any other time of the year. I think it’s because I know that we will soon be stuck indoors for the long, cold, winter months. Being stuck indoors in a disorganized or cluttered space isn’t my idea of a good time. How about you?
I really love these boxes from SmockPaper.com! I haven’t seen them in person, but I think they would be fun in my office space, to hold stationary, photos, and all the other things that get unruly in the office. I imagine them sitting under my fish tank, which has a goldfish that is the same coloration as the koi on the boxes! How fun would that be?!
The big things that I have been tackling this clear out are books, clothing, bathroom do-dads, and holiday decorations. It’s tough, but I always try to go through all my Halloween decor as I pull it out to start decorating. I am trying really hard to whittle it down to just a few things that I really love (for all holidays), so that it’s easier and faster to decorate. Sadly, I think decorations are my weakness.
Does the change of the season make you want to tackle your house with a good clear out too?
Look at this fabulous work space! What a fun use of space, and I love the light from the sky lights too.
We have been trying to squeeze out the last bits of summer. We have been using our BBQ more often (much nicer now that it’s cooled down a little bit), making S’mores on the grill too. We got these cute solar powered lanterns (from Target), which I hung in our tree. They look really cute at night when they light up. I should have bought a bunch more of them so the entire tree could be sprinkled with light.
What have you been doing to enjoy the last bits of summer?
What is Lose-A-Palooza? It’s a one-day media event that was created to encourage participation in the Lose For Good® campaign to benefit Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger. The event takes place tomorrow, September 14th, 2010, and will help raise funds and awareness for Lose For Good. World hunger is at an all time high. More than a billion people worldwide are hungry, and hundreds of millions are children. You can help fight hunger with your blog tomorrow!
Weight Watchers will donate $1, up to a maximum of $60,000, to Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger for each approved mention, acknowledgment or action related to “Lose For Good” made on September 14th through blogs, Twitter, Facebook and check-in via foursquare. So, if you have a twitter account, a blog, a Facebook page, or use foursquare, you can help make a difference! If you decide to tweet about the event, be sure to use hashtag #LoseForGood.
Lose For Good is a 7 week campaign from Weight Watchers, which is helping raise money for Share Our Strength and Action Against Hunger. If you are already a member of Weight Watchers, be sure to check it out because they hope to raise one million dollars (for one million pounds lost by their members). If you have ever thought of trying Weight Watchers, it might be a great time to do it too!
