Lately I feel like the kids toys and all our stuff have been overtaking my life! So I decided to finally do something about it and get organized. I decided to do one area a day and I started with the spice cabinet. Then yesterday I did the hall closet with all the arts and craft stuff. Today I got energized after church and did the whole kitchen! Reorganized the cabinets, the pantry, everything! I love the feeling of having order somewhere in the house! Up until now if I wanted to get zen I'd go to Sean's room since it's the only clean uncluttered room in the house right now. I still need to do Kaelin's room (she'll need some new furniture and stuff though), the living room (general reorganizing and decorating), the toy box area (!!!!), the laundry room and the master bedroom. Alot of stuff in the laundry room just needs to go to the garage when DH gets it cleaned, and the master bedroom has to be rearranged furniture wise and then all my craft stuff needs to be sorted (again !!!). The bathrooms and clothes closets aren't really that bad, I did those when I was nesting. Then DH just needs to do the garage and the office/game room. We have a relatively new house (3 years old) but we never got things the way we really wanted them so everything just got chaotic. We have alot of shelf building and decorating to do. Plus I want to redo our family picture wall with some nicer frames. It's slow going, but I finally feel like we're getting closer to having a home and not just a house. I sure wish we concentrated more on that before having kids!
Here's a link to some pics of my progress so far!
