Ok, so the focus area of this weeks, project simplify , was paper clutter.  This week was spring break, and I am home with the boys, which gave me an excuse to give this a try, but hubby hates when I touch papers.. He thinks I throw out his stuff, and important stuff, and it leads to much unrest in our relationship.  But surprisingly he gave me the green light.

The first item I did was sort through all the boys books.  In the end I took 3 banker’s boxes of books to charity.  Of course by the time I thought about it I did not have any pictures taken, so you will just have to trust me on this one!

SO here are my before pictures of my clutterous mess in my living room!

As you can see I had my work cut out for me.. So I attacked the piles with a vengence. If we didn’t own the item, or the date on the paperwork was older than 2010, out it went.  In the end I took 2 banker boxes worth of shredding to the recycling plant yesterday costing us $12.  We also put out 2 blue bags worth of regular recycling.  I think I achieved my goals, and am quite proud of the results.
