I’ve written gobs of blog posts where I’m really bad about never going back and letting you know how that all turned out. This is my goal for tonight: lots of updates!! Update #1: The Great Clean Out inspired by reading Money Saving Mom‘s book: It’s sort of an odd time to suddenly be all about organizing my house: we are moving in JUNE.
