A little out of order.

So, in my previous posts, I told you about the organization challenges. Well I'm a wee-bit behind, but I'm gonna catch up. Today I managed to organize the spice cabinet as well as the medicine cabinet.  I'm headed to the bathroom cabinets next. 

The captions in the pictures say it all! What a mess it WAS.
"Was" is such a neat word. :)


I started by removing all contents, cleaning the cabinets, and finding a couple small bins. I lost count of all the empty spice bottles I threw out! Empty spice bottles? Why they were in there is beside me. ;)  I then started adding things back little by little. I'm super happy at the end result. I think abowlfulloflemons has turned me into a organizing monster, but I'm okay with that. 

Oh and finally the end result!

Organizing the Medicine Cabinet

Check out the above blog for new challenges.

I really needed to organize the medicine cabinet, so I did! JOY! JOY! So very happy now!

Well Here is the dreadful before picture. Can you say unorganized mess? I can, lol :)

Now for the cleaned out and awesome after pictures!

Took  everything out and placed it on the table. I then went through it and threw out expired meds, and things I had no idea way I was keeping. Moved the small appliances to another cabinet. I found small bins and labeled them and starting placing things back in their new organized homes.  :) Who knew organizing could feel so great! My husband was especially excited. He can now find what he needs with out everything falling out on him.

Keeping Busy, as Simple as We Can!

Blessings of a Simple Life!

Seems, the new year brings with it, not only, a lot of  great goals and aspirations, but also a never ending list of things I feel we must get done. For instance, I felt that I must go around and declutter and organize room after room. What a mess it has been, but a huge relief when all was done. I feel like I'm nesting, preparing for something unbeknown to me.  

Today we managed to get a couple studies completed. One being a Martin Luther King, Jr study.  I found some awesome teaching materials to help with the study a couple months back. They sure came in handy today. I didn't have to search for hours on end, looking for the perfect materials. It's nice to know they were found quickly and organized into a specific spot. It helps!

We are in the process of trying to simplify our life. With much clutter cleared away, I feel like we are in the right path. I have project after project on a list, with most yet to be checked off. Maybe by the time 2011 is over, I can look at the list with relief.  :) 

Sometimes it doesn't seem so simple to try to simplify things. I know that the payback will come in the end. 


Blessings to All!

Jennifer!

Keeping busy the simplest way I can.
