Happy Thing #1: Home-canned apple pie filling...
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff!
Got this from my Dad and his wife. What's great is that I don't have to peel and slice... yeah!!
It's not very syrupy so it works great for apple crisp too.
Happy Thing #2: My rocker/recliner Chair...And the best part is, it was FREE!
The neighbors had this and didn't know what to do with it but she remembered that I had been looking for a small chair to finish off my reading/visiting area. It's perfect for what I wanted. And it fits great in my reading area beside my oval coffee table full of books and magazines.
The organizing bug has hit... I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get busy. I can only stand disorganization for awhile and then I can feel my nerves getting frazzled every time I see a pile of stuff or books just thrown here and there.The bookshelf is something that drives me crazy. I love that the kids will pull out a book and sit for a bit or that Lindsey wants Mommy to read to her all the time, but then before I know it chaos has occured.
And actually right now it's not too bad, I just need to go through them and take out what we don't need anymore so that they all fit better. (or maybe we just need another bookshelf! )
This is the large basket that sits by our door for shoes.
I don't know how else to organize this. Every once in awhile I go through and take out shoes that the kids have either outgrown or don't wear on a regular basis. It still bugs me though. Oh well, I guess it's time to do a sorting of shoes!
And of course Ken's work boots on the boot dryer (to the left) . That thing works great!
With all this sunshine we've been having, I plan on getting the kids to help me get out and clean the shop and wood shed. I won't even show you a picture of that , too embarassing!!!
Anybody else get the organizing bug now and then? what drives you crazy when it gets out of control? Just curious, want to make sure it's not just me!
We have a basket of shoes that looks JUST like that! :) Time for me to tackle that basket too. Esp now that the boots are on top. I'm sure there are some flip-flops at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteoh hunny you know me...the minute my office get's nice enough to scrapbook,it becomes a catch all again. Luckily I have a man around that wants to help all the time. He just took my well packed Christmas stuff down (from out of my office) back into storage where ti belongs. Now it's up tome to finish it off! :) LOL we'll see.
