It’s official. Spring has sprung! It is definitely feeling like it around these parts, too. Sunshine…or spring showers, gentle breeze, popcorn popping on the magnolia trees, picnics at the park, shorts (okay, so maybe I don’t have any that fit this baby-bod, but you betcha I’ll be making some maternity cut-offs:)

And, one of the best parts of Spring? The fresh organization I find in my little home. I successfully flung over 100 things in this year’s Spring Fling!
Among them were: several empty boxes I had been storing for our next move (what? why? exactly.) about 7 pairs of shoes/boots, a bunch of clothes including 5 or 6 bathing suits, some books, a set of luggage, some unused baby gear, 10 curtain rods, a couple scarves and about a hundred plastic Easter eggs that I have thought were such a good idea to store over and over, but turns out they only cost about $1.00, and my drawer space is worth more than that per year!
I not only gave away to friends and Goodwill, but also sold a bunch on craigslist and ebay. I think my fling earned me around $200! So, if you haven’t started (or finished) your own Spring Fling, maybe that will motivate you. And here’s some great specific advice (along the lines of what I stick to) to unclutter your life:)

ohmygosh…. i was thinking about you all day yesterday {admittedly, strange, but it's the blog world, so we're allowed to think about people we've never met and pretend we really know them} while i flung.
i completely forgot about the project…. it seemed like march 20 was so far away…. and i had all the time in the world.
but then yesterday came…. and when i came home from early morning stake conference….. i flung my life away.
82 items from the guest bath and shoe collection. it felt so good.
…. so many rooms to go.
Just finished my biggest spring fling project {Master closet} and took 2 bags to DI Saturday. I still need a quiet moment to dash another pile over to Platos closet! It feels good though!
