March 8: Brothers gotta hug.

I tackled our front closet (pursuant to one of my tips) and I’m documenting my progress for day one. This closet is full of coats, BBQ goodies, games, shoes, and springtime fun. Unfortunately, no one can really make any sense of it! So I decided to see what I could discover upon its organization. BEFORE AFTER From this day’s challenge,… View Post
