sorry I'm running a little later then usual today!
For Thursday, January 19th:
***Clean-out your linen closet/sheets/blankets/towels***
(I don't have a linen closet so for me it's--3 stand-alone cabinets, an ottoman storage, and a hope chest. I easily filled 1 garbage bag to start my donation pile for next week and loved getting rid of all those random things & the old, never-use towels, mattress pads, etc and have 1 empty cabinet now to use for something else)

Tips:
- Keep 2 bath towels/sets per person in your household (time to get rid of those ratty ones!). Organizers recommend folding towels in thirds.
- Put beach/swim towels in a large beach bin/bag in easy to find storage area (with other swim gear).
- Keep a couple extra sets of sheets that you fold inside one of the pillowcases in the set to keep a set all together.
- Try to donate at least 2 blankets to charity as people & animals (shelters) need good warm winter blankets.
See you Friday to complete our 3rd week already!
