The Nap Time Creations

All week long I have shown how I keep my small home organized. I buy bins from dollar stores, put things back, clean, and label. I have saved the best for last! How to keep yourself organized! It's a secret everyone is wanting to know, the climax is building, but here it is, Do what makes you happy! I have a good Idea of how my week is going to be and what I want my days to be like. I exercise in the morning and take a Pilates class once a week. When I come home I read my scriptures, or if you don't want to do that, read an uplifting book for a few minutes. Always get ready for the day! Shower, put on make-up, do that hair, I can't tell you how many times I wanted to just sit and stare at the wall and do nothing. Yes it is OK to take a break every once in a while and do nothing, but do get ready! Make that bed!! I make mine everyday and I feel so much better knowing I have one room cleaned in my house! Last, but not least, do something that makes you happy! I don...

I love being in my kitchen. Baking, crafting, gathering, and dancing, whatever it is everything happens in my kitchen. Like most kitchens, I have dishes, glasses, Pyrex dishes and mixing bowls in the cupboards. Silverware, measuring cups, and cooking utensils in the drawers. And a Lazy Suzan to place the bulk of the food, but I have two small cupboards that I have to fit the rest in.   We have limited counter space, so when I am done using something I have to put it back. Appliances are in a corner cupboard. How it all fits I don't know, but I am glad. Check back tomorrow for the last one!!

My bathroom is small, so, I have to keep it clean and organize. I have room under the sink for cleaning supplies, a medicine cabinet for medicine, and a build in storage closet for everything else. The Bins I bought at the dollar store. It consists of washcloths, hubby things, baby cleaning stuff, and famine products Yes I have a drawer dedicated to all of my stuff! Hair, odds and ends and blowdryer, makeup and curling tools.  What are some ways you keep your bathroom clean and Organized?

If your house is like our there are papers everywhere. Some belong in a scrapbook, in a file folder, or just in the trash. I try very hard to keep our house, and desk organized but sometimes that doesn't happen. To condense the mess, I put important papers in a file folder box. It is alphabetized and everything is at my finger tips. The labels I have are: Baby Growth-this includes the papers the pediatrician gives me Church-probably the biggest includes, coloring books, talks, Articles of Faith, and parts of my calling Colt's work/school Gym/fitness Home-the lovely book we signed when we bought our house Insurance-car and home Life Insurance Lindsay's School/work Medical-records, insurance and bills Mersadie's Health Projects Taxes-this in in two different folders *Keep for 7 years!* Work Expenses I keep extra folders in the back and long papers in the bottom. Check back tomorrow for a bathroom organization!

A week of organization!! Living in a small house, it needs to stay straight! For starters, the hall closet! I live in a small older home, and I just don't have a lot of room! So, my house needs to stay organized. I have no pantry, and one closet for cleaning supplies and house "stuff." As you can see, tall on one side, stuff in bins (that are labeled) and tools below. Miscellaneous stuff goes up tops, like light bulbs, iron, etc. In the bins are dusters, shoe care, food saver bags, and wires and cables. Look tomorrow for more organization.
