Finally. The Closets.

So, the first picture is not really a closet at all....I mean, it's no bigger than a closet, but it's best known as a laundry room. Being a laundry room doesn't you have to be ugly though, so I made a curtain to hang in front of all the lovely stuff like fabric softener and bleach. Then I hung the "speed dating for socks" deal. It's like this--socks without mates gather on the line there, and every once in a while, one gets lucky and finds the perfect mate! =)

I also bought a glass jar for laundry soap, looks pretty, huh?

Next, I added some cheery shelf liner under the sink. It was clean, but UG-LY before. Now I smile when I reach for the dishsoap because red is my all-time favorite color of kitchen cheerfulness!
Am I crazy because my spices are alphabetized? I had seen these kind of spice racks around, but when I went looking they were nowhere to be found. Then....I was standing in line at Michaels of all places and there they were. Sadly, they weren't giving them away so I only came home with one. I thought I could make do, but I really need another one.

I'm a little OCD when it comes to organization, but it saves me time in the long run (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!).

My girls are pretty good about keeping things organized too--probably much better than boys, but then I really wouldn't know. =) Barbies always pose a bit of a problem, but this over-the-door shoe bag was an awesome save for this situation. They are now conveniently placed for playing, and neatly kept. Momma is happy.

Kammy has a shoe rack in her closet...for SHOES....

I guess my inspiration inspired her though, because she decided that the shoe rack makes awesome horse stalls. Ah, well....you win some and you lose some.

I've even been organizing files on my computer. Oh, and I pinned a bunch

of my own things to Pinterest. I you don't already follow me, please use my pinterest button at the top left of my page and get on over there. I want to follow you back because I know you have some awesome things pined too!

Musical Eggs

Are you thinking of Easter yet? We are. It is early this year -- April 8th. We have acheivement testing the week of Easter, so it will be a busy week. I have been shopping for Easter dresses already and we are starting to work on a little Easter program at church.

We also made these fun musical eggs. You could use any egg-styrofoam, wood or plastic. We used plastic because that's what we had on hand. We just tore sheet music into all sizes and ModPodged it onto the eggs.

We placed them in a big glass vase with moss and are letting these little birds keep watch. Yes, I know....those are some awefully big eggs for those little birds.....
