-: {Organization Inspiration}

I am lack organizational skills, and I dont know why....my mom and sister are awesome at it and it comes completely natural to them, but for me its an effort to do. I feel as I have become a wife and mother to three kids that I also homeschool, and I have my own business I need to become more organized in my home for my days to run more smoothly.

Mom if you are reading this I know....you have told me this over and over again

So I have searched and searched PINTEREST for some ideas to help me out and I figured I can't be the only one out there that isn't the BEST at organizing, so Im sharing what I have found and will post my before and after pictures as I go through this journey of

ORGANIZING MY LIFE

1st I will be starting with my junk drawers in my kitchen

(I have 4...shhhhh)

It's bad it started with only 1 and then it went to 4 and I cant stand it, I cant find anything!

or should I say "we" cant find anything!

YES I will take pictures and it wont be pretty

Mom if you are reading this I read something else right now if I were you... SORRY!

They posted some tips:

Empty the contents out onto the table or counter.

Wipe the drawer clean, including the crevices and corners of the drawer.

Now sort everything….

If it doesn’t belong in there, put it where it belongs. If it’s in there BECAUSE it doesn’t have a dedicated place where it belongs, CREATE one for it. This is, in my opinion, the number one cause for messes. If it doesn’t have a home, it will wander. Simple as that.

If it’s garbage, throw it away. Be selective in what you keep.

Put the remaining items into small boxes or baskets that will fit in your drawer. This is the biggest step you can take to make sure your junk drawer (which you can now call something else, because it doesn’t look so junky anymore) stays neat and organized! I heart boxes! As you can see, the only items I don’t have in a box are the extra notepads for my fridge, my scissors, and my coupon binder.

Here is another from JRL Woodworking

Kristen has a tutorial on how to build your own utensil divider, which I might do because mine are not divided whatsoever so everything just gets scattered in there

AND last but not least

Monograms and Makeovers posted one as well
