A Little Weekend Organizing

This weekend I did a few small organizing projects. I'm doing a blog linkup where I organize/clean something in my house every day. The first part of the month it's going to be lots of small things that only take 10-15 minutes at a time. Towards the end of the month when I am back to my regular work schedule I'll be tackling some bigger projects.

Yesterday I decided to clean up the cabinet over my washing machine. 

It looked like this before

Not terrible, but in need of some cleaning

I fixed it up into this

I still need to find a better place to keep my bigger towels that I use for painting, cleaning up spills...etc.

I also have so many bottles of laundry detergent because I make my own in a 5 gallon bucket and it's more convenient to keep a few bottles on hand in my laundry room.

Tonight I plan on cleaning out the other cabinet in my utility room. 

I'm hoping to tackle my fridge and freezer tomorrow since I have a 1/2 day off.

I've found it's really pretty easy to get things cleaned up and organized if you just concentrate on a room or cabinet at a time. It only takes about 15 minutes to do and I feel so much better afterwards.

We had such a full weekend! Saturday we took Jackson to see his first movie in theaters. Sunday morning I sang in church for the first time since I graduated high school, and then we went to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. Jackson got to spend  a lot of time with his cousins, and he even learned to skate....sort of.

31 Days of Home Organizing

I'm so excited to link up to The Nesting Place over the next month and get some home organizing done. You really should check out their site. Some of the originals gals that did this the first time are all hosting link ups. The greatest thing is that you can choose 31 days to do whatever you want, and then blog about it! I'm choosing home organization since it needs to be done desperately in my house and it's something I always love to do before winter gets here. You don't have to physically do something for 31 days, you could just choose to share new recipe every day or take a picture...ANYTHING you want!

I've been working a ton extra lately, and will for the next few weeks. However, I am going to make time while I'm working to get at least one thing done every day. When I go back to a regular schedule in a week or two I'm going to tackle some of the bigger projects. I'm going to take lots of before and after pictures and put it up on the blog. Should be lots of fun right? I don't plan on posting every day, but maybe I'll devote posts twice a week to it. 

I encourage you to check it out. If you decide on a topic let me know so I can follow along!
