Mission Monday: Clean House

I'm ashamed to say, but my Christmas decorations are still up. My house looks like it could be on an episode of "Hoarders" and I just can't take it anymore. Since the shop is closed and I have no plans of leaving the house (side story: my husband took my car keys to work with him) today will be the day. Today I will take back this house. For the good of all of humanity.

One of the major issues in my household is toys. I have a three year old son who has grandparents that just can't stop buying toys. It's like Toys 'R' Us threw up in my living room. We have a toy box... ok, well it's really a vintage steamer trunk... but it holds toys. It's obviously not enough as it's full and there are still toys all over the place.

Exhibit A:

So today I am tackling the toys and getting rid of Christmas (until next year of course.) If you're having an organization battle, Pinterest has loads of possible solutions. Here are the ones that I've pinned and hope to emulate in my own home. Wish me luck!
