***CONFESSION*** Our kitchen table (and all of our kitchen counters, for that matter) are almost always filled with clutter of some kind. After my 50 Weeks to Organized Project back in 2013, I got really good at keeping certain surfaces clean, like the bathroom counter–a major win–and the tops of “decorative surfaces,” like the …
Here’s a Torrie Truth for ya— I am most motivated when I am incredibly busy, under a deadline, and/or stressed out of my mind. That is probably why I continually put things off until the last minute, even though I know it’s an unhealthy behavior. What can I say? I’m a procrastinator and proud of …
I know that 2013 is over (and thus, also, is my “50 Weeks to Organized” project), but what I didn’t tell you was that I still haven’t finished posting about my last two projects.

Seeing as I saved most of my Big Projects for summer, it probably seems as though I haven’t been focusing as much on simplifying and de-cluttering as before, but that would be grossly untrue: in fact, this room I’m about to show you has been a constant project for me since I decided to do this challenge …
Well, here I am: a little more than halfway through this “50 Weeks to Organized” business and wondering how much real progress has been made.
