Organizing my life (just kidding!) just by cupboards (:

I really need to be more organized! OKAY, I really want to be more organized! Well here's one way that we are trying to get organized. I was at Bunko last month and I'm not sure if this is exactly how she did it but one of the ladies organized her dinners on one of the insides of her cupboards. This is such a great idea and here's my interpretation of it. This is the second week and its working out great! I've been adding more choices as I think of them! Recipes that I haven't used in a while, I'll get rid of. I wrote where I can find the recipe on the post-it too!

Here's my other organization tool for the kitchen. It's a list of what I have in the kitchen cupboard. This is great because then I just have to look to see if I have it or if I need to buy it when I go grocery shopping. I'm hoping this will stop useless buying!!

Getting it together

Alright, I've been wanting a craft area for Cameron's art supplies so for Christmas I asked for a bookshelf for them. Welllllll, instead of just craft supplies it's become an area of Cam's craft/montessori items (at least some of them are). I put out stencils, sorting, color matching, jingle bell pouring, crayons, paper, colored pencils, knobbed cylinders, transferring poms, snips. It was hard to controll myself; I wanted to put so much more out there. I think that I will switch items out every month so he has new things on the shelf. This wasn't exactly what I wanted to do with the shelf but I think he'll use it more this way. HMMM, maybe I'll have to get another one just for craft items. (Chris will love that; I already put this one in the dining room :))
