The Organized Life, January Paint Bucket

 

And just like that, it’s January!

 

 

 

This year I decided I wasn’t going to rush putting away the holiday decorations, but when I got up on the day after Christmas I looked around and thought, “all this has got to go!”

I am getting ready for a New Year with less clutter, more reading, art, exercise and healthier food after a decadent December!

 

 

Here’s what I’m thinking about making in January

The flavor of the month is Vegetable

Cucumber “Sushi” Rolls

BLT Dip from Inspired by Charm
