Category Archives: Organization I feel that we are really getting there … organized that is. Here are some pics of the new house. I really enjoy that you don’t walk through the laundry room when you come in from the garage and it’s not super small. {YES, Carl was amazing and put the shelf above washer and dryer...  This was the last area that we organized and it was finished up around 3:30 AM the morning that I left. It was a room that was danced around {avoided} until the end when the only option was to just get it done. It took HOURS, but there wasn’t a detail left undone. EVERY crayon,...  This was my favorite part of the house to get done. Probably because I personally know from experience how much peace and enjoyment comes from having the “living” space free of clutter so you can actually spend time together enjoying one another. There was a time in my life that I wasn’t as good as...  This was a huge undertaking in itself. A THREE car garage PACKED so full a person could barely make their way through. Before photos weren’t taken until a TON of things had already been moved out. Yep, the garage contained the things that were not only photographed still in the garage but the things on...  This was the laundry room that we got organized. I have learned that it doesn’t matter how large or small the laundry room is; it is whether there is a system in place. Laundry literally needs to leave the dryer piece by piece and be either hung or folded and placed in that persons’ basket....  How many extra sheets, pillow cases, comforters, blankets, towels or wash clothes does one household need? If you ask me, my answer will always be … well that depends on the space that you have assigned those things to be. Things NEED to be organized into a dedicated space. EVERYTHING needs a place and when...  This was the second area that we attacked. This photo was taken after we had spent almost a full day in it already. When we were done the toys were sorted {cars, legos – by set, costumes, accessories, stuffed animals, magic, nature, mega-blocks, board games, puzzles}. A ton was sent to donation, but the boys...  This was a room that I didn’t get even one before photo of. You couldn’t see a speck of carpet there were so many clothes, toys, papers and bedding covering it. In fact it was also about two feet high. It went pretty quickly once the laundry and bedding were removed. The next step was...  My goal was to come and help get a whole house organized so they can focus more on life and the family rather then managing stuff {an excessive amount of it}! We have had a VERY successful few days and still have a few more ahead of us. Several loads have gone to the dump,...  I am LOVING that every corner of our home is gradually getting organized. Our boys’ toys were next on my list. I’d like to start by saying … they have a HUGE bedroom which helps a TON with the fact that the rest of the house is smaller then our last. When we first moved,...  How many pencil sharpeners, rulers, pencils and crayons does one family really need? While organizing office supplies I realized we had WAY too many. One more area in our home that is now organized  For Christmas I made Peyton a magnetic / chalkboard so he can draw and display his art. We bought Preston a dry-erase board so he can use his leapfrog letters. Carl at times jokes about how obsessed I’ve become with getting organized. The boys absolutely enjoy having these in their bedroom and I love that...  Since we moved to North Carolina I have become an organizational fool. I’m seriously thinking about become a certified organizer … it’s amazing how much peace and simplicity being organized can bring to ones life. I’m also loving this nine foot, double sided bookcase we picked up gently used. The boys are LOVING having their...  beautiful bookcases: I was so excited to get all of my books up in these beautiful bookcases that my amazing husband bought and put together for me. It will feel good to get the kids books up too! beautiful children: The lunch date I had with the kids today was so sweet. It was nice... |
