Fall Re-Arranging and Cleaning, Anyone?

For the past couple weeks, I have been feeling the "urge to purge" that I feel every Fall. Okay, in all honesty, I feel this way all the time, not just Fall. It is, however, a much stronger urge! I don't know if it is the nice, cool mornings or the fact that we have been busy all summer and things are in need of organization, but I just can't help it. Maybe I need to join a support group entitled "Moms Who Cannot Stop Themselves From Cleaning and Organizing (Not-To-Mention-Rearranging-The-Whole-House)"?!? Sigh....

So what have I been up to? Well....let's just say that I have been up to my eyeballs in re-arranging and cleaning things around here.

Last Monday, I moved our desk that was in the living room into the office. Then moved a three leaf table, that was in the office, into the living room. We re-arranged the living room to better fit the space and furniture and moved the piano, oddly enough, into the dining room. The dining room is a huge space and it actually looks really nice in there! The acoustics are gre-at in there as well!

Then today, I cleared out the junk, mainly OTHER people's stuff, out of the closet in the living room and moved the home-school stuff out of the living room and put it in that closet. There is even room for the vacuum cleaner that has never had a home in all the years we have lived in this house! Now it is not wandering from room to room looking for a place to be out of the way!

So what did  I do with the closet besides find a home for the vacuum? I turned it into a home-school closet! I took our bookshelf and cubbies that were in the dining room and put them in the closet. Dining room looks a bit neater and the school stuff is still easily accessible! A win-win situation for all.

Now today....I am going to go through my cookbooks!
