I need some help. I live in a small home, I want to start getting my place extremely organzied & just get rid of everything.. Where I need help at is:: where do I start first? & how do I begin?

I saved everything too.. I found that I can take clothes line and hang it on the ceiling  of her room all the way around then take clothes pins and hang the art that way.. Its not cluttering anything and you can see it, and she can see that you saved it..

 Start in the room you use the most and do that room first.  Then move to the next... :)

Let me tell you about a book I love for organizing. 

Living Organized: Proven Steps for a Clutter-Free and Beautiful Home

That is the link to the Amazon Page.  It's the best $5 you will ever spend.  I love it!

I'm funny about I start with the room I use least - that way it doesn't get messed up as fast so I can finish more and keep it clean....
