Cleaning out the Clutter- Step One

So, one of the first things I am going to try to do is clean up all the junk in my life. Right now I just feel SOOOO bogged down by "stuff", and I really think it's hindering me. For instance, if my kitchen was clean and well organized, I would probably be more likely to cook at home instead of grabbing something on the way to wherever I'm headed. If my office was a clean, organized space, I'd be less likely to head to the coffee shop and spend $4 for coffee and wi-fi... and it'd be easier to keep track of things like rebate receipts and whatnot. So, I'm going to start focusing on one room a week. I'll post before and afters for a little bit of accountability.

I'm going to start with my bathroom. I'm kind of planning to go the Dave Ramsey approach with a "cleaning snowball"... starting with the easiest to clean and moving up. The bathroom is small and should be relatively easy. So, I'll give myself till bedtime on Sunday.

Here's what my bathroom looks like now:

Please don't judge. I was pregnant. Then I was depressed. Until the past couple of weeks, I hadn't done any cleaning since January. Yes, I realize it's almost September.
