I know people say that New Years Goals don’t stick and by the time March rolls in you’ve forgotten all about them. Well these following New Year cleaning and organizing roundups are for January (mostly) so plenty of time to get it out of your system and leave a clean and well organized home behind. Besides that’s more than 21 days which we all know is amount of time it takes for something to become habit. So get your clean on and choose your favorite way to clean and organize.

CleanMama Clean and Organized in 2012 complete homekeeping calendar for Jan 2012.

I'm a little late with this one but it only takes 14 days. I'm impressed with the fridge on Day 4.

I had thoughts to make our own calendar this year but then I got a nice free one with healthy recipes on it in the mail. Since I’m in the throes of a new planner we went ahead and decided to use it.

Problem: The pages are really thin and January promptly ripped through a day after we hung it.

Solution…not: We even tried applying some of those hole reinforcement tab/sticky/thingys and those stayed on but the glossy pages slipped through and again the calendar was on the floor.

We don’t have any pressing appointments this month and I’ve been keeping duplicates of every ongoing thing on the computer calendar and in my personal planner so I really wanted to use this calendar…because it was free!

Solution!: I got my HomeMadeSimple email today and they had a few solutions for hanging calendars since they realize that so many people are now printing their own. I chose solution number#1 (see pic below) and so far so good.
