It seems like we have the same type of fridge! :) I did the same thing recently and my family said they couldn’t see any difference from the pictures I posted on my Blog. Not sure if it is good or bad? LOL! I love my fridge and yes, although it seems like we are the only one who noticed the changes in our fridge, and even if no one else noticed, our heavenly father does, for He knows everything about us. <br />Have a blessed Sunday, Monica. Can't wait to start next week's de-cluttering project!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691781001248443142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-68774558057062552622009-04-18T13:18:00.000-04:002009-04-18T13:18:00.000-04:00Looks great!

I clean it off and it grows right back again! It is my command central - where I keep my calendar, notebooks, Bible, and anything else that I am reading or need to deal with. It does feel nice when I get it cleaned off.<br /> <br />I have really been inspired by reading your post on Monday, and seen a number of areas in my life where I need to restore order.

But well worth it to see them learning to help and enjoying it. <br /><br />Isn't it crazy that one of the smallest tables in the house, the night stand, can gather so much stuff. You've done a great job.<br /><br />I got my clothes cleaned out for the year. A small toss pile...a garbage bag full to take to charity and clean drawers. Even found a couple matches to socks I was missing. For me it's a good start.<br /><br />Thanks for including us in the efforts to restore some order.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482642072653474617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-52653609614954048662009-04-17T08:32:00.000-04:002009-04-17T08:32:00.000-04:00Thank you for posting pics of your less-than-perfe...Thank you for posting pics of your less-than-perfect areas!
