Oh, I'm so excited to see this thread! I only read the first post, so there might be something I'm not commenting on. I really struggle in this area. I'm overwhelmed at all of our clutter and it's hard to know where to start. I really *want* to be organized, but it's so hard for me. I hardly ever clean, only when something is really bad. What I would really like to do is spend several hours on the house one weekend and really get it straightened up (which we may do soon since family is coming next weekend) and then - and this is the important part and the hard part - do DAILY upkeep. I really need the inspiration and encouragement of this thread! Thanks for starting it!
