Bathroom overhaul!

The hubs had to unclog our sink and while he was doing that the contents of pretty much every cabinet came spilling out into the floor.

Yikes!

So before we stuffed everything back in there, I knew I had to come up with a better organization scheme!


So after some time spent thinking (I looked a lot like Sheldon and Raj "working"), I figured out all the categories I needed as well as how many bins and boxes.

Looking around my house I found some extra storage containers (Tupperware style) and some old baby wipes containers that I was holding on to for just a time as this! So here's what I ended up with: 

 

I used the baby wipes containers for small stuff that needed a place to live. Pain relief, vitamins and supplements, kid's meds, ointments and creams and cough and cold are the categories here.


I am IN LOVE with these small drawer organizers from Walmart. They fill up the drawers fully so there is no room for junk to pile up! Every container is labeled so everyone knows where to put stuff. So nice!

I used some other containers for the other cabinets as well. Everything is organized! Yippee! Hopefully it'll stay that way!

My Organization Journey

I have realized something: I get WAY overwhelmed as a mother and household planner. It doesn't make me happy, or anyone else for that matter, when I get overwhelmed, because when I'm overwhelmed I get snippy.

I know, you're shocked. Me? Get snippy?

Anyway, I know this isn't good for me or my family.

So I've decided to make a change. When I realize that something is broken, I like to fix it. The way I run my house...my life really; is broken.

So it's time for a change!

This summer is going to be the summer I get my life and my house in order.

Maddie starts kindergarten in the fall; I take on a full course load at BHSE; Scott starts going to school 3 days a week; and we are going to put our house on the market.

Needless to say, this fall is going to be crazy beyond belief. I have to get myself and my life in order before that.

So I'm going to start blogging about my organizational finds, the projects I'm doing, and probably healthy and whole food lifestyle living while I'm at it. You wanna come along? I would love to have you guys comment on stuff you like, stuff you see that I could improve, or give me your own ideas!
