From CHAOS to CLEAN in 30 Minutes!!

We're getting new carpet in our house this weekend.  And that means finding a place to store all our stuff while they rip out the old and put in the new.  Only one "bed"room doesn't have carpeting, and it's our "storage" room.

I've been dreading having to clean out this room to make space for all our stuff to hang out...

See all those boxes - most of them are empty... we just never took the time to clear out the packing materials and break them down. And then there are a few boxes/toys that we've designated to go to Goodwill, but haven't ever gotten around to taking them. (It's LITERALLY just around the corner.)

So, my project for the morning was to clean this room up enough to be able to move at least one other room's belongings in it for the weekend.

Thirty minutes later, I was done.

I was pretty much in shock at how quickly I was able to get it cleaned up and how much space I cleared.

After a quick shower (I was pretty gross from moving so fast!), the kids and I headed around the corner to drop off the boxes for Goodwill and grab a few groceries at Aldi and the bread outlet before lunch.

I hope all the rest of my "big projects" for the week (including my kids' closet) are this easy!

What "big projects" are you dreading?
