Schools out for summer

Today is my last day at work until mid August. I am beyond thrilled and am not doing a darn thing tomorrow but play with Ruby and run soccer practice. Seriously, I think I am going to sleep till noon, maybe shower and brush my teeth, but that's it. I'm taking the day off. Starting next week I will be watching my 2 nephews and niece 1 and a half days a week, and running a couple of soccer camps throughout the summer.

This summer I am planning on getting B and I organized, as in psycho organized! We have way too much crap in storage and that's not organized. So I am going to go box by box label, purge and donate so we can become as organized as possible! First I am starting with our storage in the basment of B's office, it's a disaster!!!

Then I am planning on bringing a few more things to Casa de B&A such as flatware. B always says we need more flatware at our house. We only have 5 sets out right now. We have 7 more in storage. Then organizing our house. Now it is somewhat organized but not nearly what it should be, again we have way too much crap!!!

I have started organizing our closets, I recently purchased wood hangers. We are going to all wood, from plastic. I found hangers at Nordstrom rack for dirt cheap and thought what better time is there than now....So we've now made the jump to wood people.

Here are a few organizing systems I would love to have, but will be giving them my own little twist.

Happy Thursday!

Re-organization 102

Last week I posted about organizing under our kitchen sink and out entertainment center. If you don't remember, here is a reminder! Well, today I continued on my quest for re-organization casa de B&A! It started out by going to Wal-Mart and getting 2 more storage totes, clips to fix our shelf in the linen closet and some drawer organizers. Then I was armed and dangrous with my labeler and my determination to organize. I don't have before pics but here are the afters.

I first started with our cupboards above the washer and dryer. We keep our laundry stuff and Ruby's odd and end's along with her bones and raw hides here. Here's how it turned out.

I labeled our stain removers, Ruby's treats and Ruby's medications.
Next up is underneath B's bathroom vanity. Although he is a very clean hubbs it could use some help. So I went to work and here's the end product.

One container has all our sunscreen and the other is all the extra products B could ever need for his bathroom. On the other side I am storing extra t-pee, kleenex and my travel makeup bag. I don't have room in my bathroom.

Next is our linen closet that has given me trouble since day 1. We have tons of extra towels, travel size bottles, medicines, etc. So I purchased totes from Wal-Mart and Bed, Bath & Beyond and here's how she ended up. Please excuse the fact that I couldn't get the whole closet in one picture. I sitting on the sink to take these. The linen closet is literally right behind the door.

Thanks for looking! Have a great week! Cheers, Abby
