Ya the spice cabinet was kind of out of control. It didn't take to long to have it all cleaned and organized. I have been doing my challenges late at night when the boys are either asleep or just relaxed and daddy is home so I don't have my 3yr old trying to help me out.
So here is my before:
and after:
ta-da!! Not to bad, eh? I think it came out great! My tea bags are up on the top shelf, my baking is on the second shelf along with my packets of seasons, and my spices are on the bottom. Yay!! Todays mission has been accomplished!

Day 10~ Laundry Room

Well, I will say that I was very excited that today's challenge was the laundry room. Ya can you believe that I was excited about that? What the heck is wrong with me?!?!? My laundry room was in DEEP NEED of a total clean up and organization. It was HORRIBLE, you will see the pictures. Dont judge me, lol. But I am very,very,very happy with the out come. Even my son was excited with me! Sooo with out much further gabber from me here are the Before pictures:


As you can tell my laundry room is TINY!! I mean the space I have between my washer and the wall is only enough for me to fit shoulders wide. It is TINY. So yes it looks super messy when things are all over the place. So these are my after pictures:
So I had this gizmo,gadget thing for a year now and I have been waiting so patiently for my lovely, dear hubby to put it up. Well it NEVER happened. So I got out the drill and the drill bit, measured where the holes went, and put it up! I am very proud of myself for this, it is even straight!! My son said that I was Bob the Builder, LOL.
Soo, YAYA!! Doesn't it look a gazillion times better? I think it does. Well I also got to make a Grocery Bag Holder!! Yahoo, yes this is something that I have been wanting to do for a year as well but never got to it. Thanks to this organization thing I got to finally make it because there was NO way I was going to have those grocery bags hanging out looking ugly!
So here is my creation:
Yay! I loved the way it came out and it was super easy and quick to do. I am very proud of how my laundry room came out!

Day 9~ Toy Organization! UPDATE: BOYS ROOM

Well this one is going to have to wait til a later date. I cant do much in there because there is a huge dining room set taking up the room. I have to wait til we get it out, we are holding it for my brother in law. Hopefully it will get out of my house soon!


OK so I DIDN'T want to do anything but I KNEW that if I stopped that I don't think I would of continued with my organization. That is one of my new years resolution. So instead of working on the toy room I had to organize the Boys Room. My oldest just did a big tornado mess and it had to get done.
So here are the Before Pictures:


So as you can tell their room was TRASHED all thanks to my 3yr old, lol. So Mommy and big brother got to cleaning. Here are the after photos:


Now you can see it is 100million times better. Yes I will still update when I get to the play room. I just needed to keep with the organization!







What will be happening is that toy room will be my craft room. All my crafts will be set up in there and my sons play area will be a very small part of the the house. It will work. I already bought all the shelves and baskets for it! I cant wait to get it done! I will definitely update this when it is done and completed!

Day 8~ Coat Closet

So day 8(yesterday) was to organize the coat closet! Well I did that on day one if you recall. That is the only coat closet that we have! So I just tidied it up instead. I didnt organize the top of it so thats what I did. Nothing major but I didnt want to not do it! So here is the before:

This is the after:
All I did was just organize the top shelf! There wasnt to much that needed to be fixed.

Well TODAYs assignment is the TOYS!! YIKES!! I am NOT ready for that. I am actually doing a whole move of the toys once the table gets out of the play room. Its going to be a whole switch-a-roo! Ill have my craft area in the toy room and where my craft stuff is now is where the toys will be. So I am going to have to pass on this one til a later day and I will come back and post the results. I have to get the HUGE table and chairs out of the playroom before I can do anything in there!
