My Organizing Quest...






I absolutly LOVE to have things organized and to feel like there is a place for everything in my house. Well, lately, I have felt like things are all over the floor, books are all over the house, and that our house needed a little makeover!
SO, I have made it my mission to get this house organized, and this is what I did
*Got a bookshelf at IKEA {for $50!} to put our many many books in
{this was inspired by my Aunt Linda's house-she has more books than anyone I know!}
*Organized the hundreds of children's books we have
{mostly from when I taught 1st grade}
*Moved pictures around
*Put Ellie's new crib in the girls room {no more baby basinet for her!}
*Put a toy organizer in Riley's closet with a bin for every type of toy
*Put all of Riley's favorite Chapter books together by category
{Junie B. Jones, Magic Tree House series, Arthur Books, and Little Readers}
*Put all of Sunny and Ellie's Toys in an organizer in the closet
Anyway, I know it won't stay like this forever, but for now I feel a little more on top of it and a bit more organized!

{SORRY-I still don't know how to turn my pictures the other way-I try to do it on picasa and then export it, but it always stays sideways!}

Great job Andrea:) Maybe you could make a trip to Houston to help me with my organizing, or lack thereof, LOL

Good for you!

Way to go Andrea! I feel like ever since we have had Bridger there isn't enough room for everything so I have been slowly trying to organize and get rid of things. I am so impressed, it looks great!
