If you know me at all you will know that I like my space to organized and clutter free.
We have steadily out grown our house that we have been in for about 4 1/2 years, so we thought that a little extra space would be helpful while we are waiting for the right house to come along. So we started out our Christmas vacation by building a shed. By we I mean, Aaron, Dad and Cody. Occasionally Mom, Rachel, and I would hold up a wall, sweep, etc. They had the shed finished by New Year’s weekend, which isn’t too bad for guys who had no clue what they were doing. They did a great job and I now have 120 sq feet of space to put Acholi Beads, which used to live in my living room, Christmas and Fall decor, and misc nonsense that we are keeping until we move.
Don’t think I wasn’t busy during this time the boys were building. I took this time to completely “gut” Xavier’s room. I took out all of his toys and went through them and got rid of so many that I think that we could of started a toy store. Then I went and got a ClosetMaid Cube, fabric buckets, and plastic tubs and sorted. I think he is now the most organized 5 year old in town, maybe even in Arizona. I went a little crazy.
And that’s not all, I have now, simultaneously started to reorganize the kitchen and the office. Who knows what’s next? I think that I have taken this New Year’s resolution thing a little far or maybe the meds the doctor has me on are just making it so I have many more better days.
Watch out…your pantry might be next!
Where are the pictures? You can organize all you want when you come back here in March!!! Love you!
Oh man, I’m jealous! I started organizing last summer, and made it half-way through my house until I got a little surprise that took most of my attention…and now he’s not such a little surprise anymore!
Just ask her how many times she filled the dumpster? She is like a mad woman with plan. The shed turned out very nice, the guys worked so hard to get it finished.
Hey I have an office, kitchen, and laundry room that are in desperate need, so when you finish with your house you are welcome to work your magic at mine! 🙂
