Simple is always better!

"Simple is always better!"
"Less is more!"
I have decided that my house needs a COMPLETE over haul!!!  A simplification if you will.
Because of my ADD, I have a VERY hard time organizing.  I always start off well and with the best intentions. I buy folders, tubs, baskets and a label maker, but the actual planning and buying of supplies is FAR more fun than the actual organizing!!!  
I mean really, who wants to alphabetize the movie collection? Yes it would be easier to find a movie but  do you know how long it takes to alphabetize 600+ movies???  
I don't either since I never finished but I can tell you that what little I did do took a VERY long time!  So for now, they aren't in order....but you know what??? It really isn't the end of the world.
How about my Pez collection?? (For those of you that don't know, I L-O-V-E  love Pez dispensers!! I have quite the collection, well over 150 I would say.  They aren't wrapped or anything because what fun would they be if we didn't eat the pez?!?!?! ) It is just a fun cheap thing to collect that the whole family enjoys. Yes, it would be nice if they were more organized and in groups (e.i. Disney characters, pixar characters, Winnie the pooh and friends, etc...)  but who really has the time to sit down and separate them all and then stand them all back up on the cabinet tops??  Certainly not me!! LOL!  
 Don't even get me started on the kids toys! Once again, with the best of intentions I bought a toy rack thing that has little bins on it.  I then separated all the toys into different buckets.  I photographed the toys that went in each bucket and taped the picture to the bucket. The pictures were for the kids, so they could see exactly what went into each bin and it would help keep everything more organized.  Right?!?!?  
It worked for a little while, or anytime I would clean up the toys by myself but eventually it just got to be too time consuming.  So I just started throwing the toys in bins just get them off the floor.  
But my solution now is to just simplify...get rid of junk...de-clutter...spring clean...whatever you wanna call it.


I wanna call it...
GETTING SIM-TASTIC!

I want to get my house simtastic...simply fantastic.  or fantastically simple...either way, it is exactly what I want.  
I want to be in the world and not of the world and the perfect way to get there is to start making my life simtastic!

 So, out with the old and (hopefully) in with nothing new! 
I love you all! Thank you for taking the time to read about my boring life!  I promise to try harder to lighten the mood more often, so long as you promise to keep coming back and leaving positive and supportive comments!

Happy Friday!  YEAH for the weekend!  Please tell me, how will you make your life simtastic this weekend????

    1. You don't want your life to be simtastic? That's okay! I just think that getting my house simtastic can help my life be simtastic...know what I mean? Considering everything you know that should make sense.

Thanks for reading! I would love to hear your feedback but please keep it positive! I use this blog as a therapy tool and it is meant to be positive and uplifting! If you really feel the need to express your opinion then feel free to do so, but know that I will not argue back. If things ever get hostile or angry, I will be forced to block people and I don't want to have to do that! Thank you so much! I Love you all!
