Today's Project

Image
By
I don't know why, but lately I have been on kind of a Spring  ... winter Cleaning fix.  I have been cleaning, organizing, and de-junking our place.  Today's project was kind of daunting but I'm proud to say that it is done.  I decided to tackle the Hall/Medicine/Linen closet which also meant under the sinks and bathroom medicine cabinets.  After I took everything out my first thought was "what was I thinking!?"  But it needed to be done and it feels good now.  I didn't take before and after of all of the cabinets but I did of the closet.  Here it is.  


Before                      After

I know it may not seem like that big of a difference, but it is.  Everything has a place.  Things shouldn't just fall out when I open the door.  I can actually get towels out without wrestling with all the ones I don't want.  I'm pleased.  I know I have a long way to go to truly be organized like I dream of being, but I'm on my way.

How do you organize your closets and keep them organized?

Im notorious for tossing what we dont use. It drives Brad nuts because he likes to hold on to e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. Typically when we get the boys new clothes I do it all at once then pack up all the old sizes and store it for my sisters kids. I hate clutter so everything is either neatly folded or in canvas bins. I'll take a pic of a few of our closets and send it your way. Goo Bec!

I roll up my towels. I like the look of it and they fit nicer in my hall drawers better that way, in my opinion. But your makeover looks great! Another thing I love which I notice you are using too are plastic cubbies and trays. They keep things of different sizes in one space so they don't go falling over when you pick one thing to use. Great work!

Well, we don't have closets. Just nooks, crannies, and cupboards. To maintain my sanity, there are a LOT of baskets. I try to separate as many things as possible by baskets/containers. That way I know what's in them and how much of it I have. The organizing thing has also been my dilemma since we just moved. I'm trying to find new homes for things using my old system from our last apartment and it's just not working. We need some serious revisions and a whole lot of patience. (:

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
