Spring Break meant two big closet declutters! The following items left: 60 articles of clothing, 64 pieces of jewelry, a file box, 12 containers of protein shakes, and 11 boxes of food that I simply do not like.
03: Organize the Attic
Still, no progress in this area!

07: #OneMonthGoals with Michael Matera

This week, I paused several times: to take a dear friend out after his surgery, to enjoy Scholarship Night with my daughter, to take in a concert with family and college friends, and to enjoy a musical with my dad. Although I am spent, I would not change a thing!
11: Organize my mother’s photographs
One binder and one file box are fully scanned! I can finally see progress!
