I’ve decided to do a series on resetting our nest because right now it honestly feels like we are starting from scratch. Except we aren’t… because shits everywhere. We have way too much stuff and here I am thinking I just need more bins to organize it all when we all know… I DO NOT!
Our basement is pretty well finished now which is super exciting but has also turned our entire house upside down! One of our boys has moved downstairs, the main floor has two lonely chairs while we figure out what we want in that space, and the garage is packed with boxes. The bonus room has become our catch all room with toys, books, laundry and random furniture from shuffling bedrooms. All while that’s going on I find myself sorting through the Lego bin trying to put sets back together – because apparently that’s the most logical next thing to do.
We have a lot of stuff and lately I have been feeling incredibly overwhelmed by it all. I go from “throw it all away” to “I’ll just have to buy it again six months down the road when I wish I still had it.” And let’s be honest – the cost of things these days makes you want to puke when you think about just getting rid of it.
So what’s the answer? Honestly, I don’t have it. But I am going to do my best to organize and clear some stuff out of our house so that it feels less overwhelming and the new space all feels usable.
This series will be my way of documenting that process — the progress, the struggles, and everything in between. If you’re also feeling buried under too much stuff, you’re not alone. I hope you’ll follow along as we figure it out together!
