my home is my sanctuary...I try to treat it the same exact way I work...if you let it get disorganized and out of control it reflects on my entire mindset.
Lexie, get people in there to work as hard as you do and get it done, then keep on top of it...donate to charity and get the tax receipts for your donations. I shred daily and the mail never even comes into the house.
I gutted 3 rooms down to the studs and never regretted it...next is the biggest job, remodeling the kitchen...only i have the obstacle of not enough $$ to finish this now...soon, soon!
