Attempting an Organized Life

I have pretty much always been messy. As a teenager my parents joked they could never see my floor. In some cases I'm a closet organizer. I love to get things all organized at the beginning of something big, but I quickly run out of steam keeping it up. Tim and I want to start a family. I am really afraid we will have a baby and I will keep up my bad habits. I want to start getting organized and stay that way. I not only want to do this because little things on the floor go into babies' mouthes, but I also want to pass on good habits to my children. So I have had this book for awhile now. "One Year to an Organized Life". I remember hearing about it coming out and being so excited and pre-ordering it. Well I got it and tried it out a little. Tim and I were discouraged by having to buy things to organize our stuff. At the time we were barely making ends meet. Now we are doing a lot better in the finances area. So I want to give it a go. There are a lot of chances to journal throughout this book. So maybe I will kill two birds with one stone by starting this book, and starting a regular pace on my blog. Forgive me... I'm a bit of a newbie at both!
