Time to get ready for guests! Some things I'm thinking and doing: - Going to be strict about "one in one out" If a new pair of pants comes in--one goes out.
Going to downsize the ratty gift bags (BTW--these are great to use as storage organizers on shelves. I have one with various tapes/duct tapes, for example on a shelf in my laundry room.
- Going to recycle/donate/trash Christmas decorations that are getting ratty.
