  1. Organizing is not really my thing…but if I could I would tackle my spare bedroom and backroom. Both take motivating my hubby since he stacks most things in each. :/

  2. My biggest organization challenge is my bathroom. It is the first thing getting organized this year.

  5. I would love to organize my Kitchen Cabinets this year. My daughter already started helping.

  7. I would love to organize the office. I want to box up old files and reorganize the file cabinet.
    Thank you!

  16. I would love to organize the guest room. it is the extra room in the house and it has all sorts of stuff in it that probably should not.

  17. The biggest think that I want to organize in 2015 is my bedroom closet, it is a big closet with a lot of room, but I still just put things in their haphazardly till it gets full, ug.

  20. I need to organize my kitchen cabinets better. One of these days I would like to tackle my daughters bedroom.

    • I would love to get our family room completely organized and everything put in its own special place. I think if everything had a certain place it had to be placed in things wouldn’t get lost and it wouldn’t get so messy 🙂
      Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  28. I will be purging my closet, I have lost 50 lbs and there is not much that fits anymore! I tried signing up for the newsletter but got an error message. Happy New Year!

  38. The biggest organization for me is going to be the spare bedroom upstairs. It is a office, spare bedroom and catch all for people in the house that don’t know where something goes!

  45. I’m looking to tackle the garage. It needs a lot of organization with loads of tools, gardening supplies and the children’s toys. We also use it as a mudroom area and that needs help as well!

  53. I will be working on organizing my craft closet. Usually being able to walk in it is enough, but this year I want to know exactly where everything is and have a place for it.

  57. My bedroom, because I would like to decorate it. It’s pretty organized, but lacks personality.

  69. The biggest thing I want to organize in 2015 is the spare room! It has all the “stuff” in it that I want to put on either E-bay or Craigslist or a garage sale … or donate. But it’s just tossed in there and I have no idea what is what. Some stuff is surely stuff I want to keep. But it’s a big job and I just keep putting it off. It has to be done though.

  96. O.K., so I really need to organize my bedroom and closet, but I’m definitely NOT looking forward to it! But if I win I’d buy bins to help with this endeavor!

  98. I need to get my paper situation under control. We have 2 file cabinets full of a lot of paperwork we don’t need. I plan to get rid of a lot and get the rest into one small cabinet.

  102. My whole house needs to be organized! The biggest areas are my kids rooms and the kitchen though!

  105. The biggest things I want to organize are the kids rooms. The whole house could use it, but that would be the biggest thing!
