Days #4-9 Organizing Challenge

Although I have not been blogging daily, I HAVE been working on my Organizing Challenge, inspired by this blog. So here's my progress:


Day #4- Lower Linen Closet
BEFORE

AFTER
Containers work wonders.


Day #5- Under Kitchen Sink
BEFORE

AFTER
Better, right?


Day #6- Lower Kitchen Cabinet (1)
BEFORE

AFTER
A lot less cluttered.

Lower Kitchen Cabinet (2)
BEFORE

AFTER
This picture doesn't do it justice. It looks very organized in real life.

Day #7- Entryway
I forgot to take a before and after picture, but it's not that impressive. All I did was buy a shoe rack so our shoes don't get as messy by the door. And I moved our couch over so our coats that hang on the wall coat rack can hang down properly instead of hang all over the couch. And we made a rule that we can each only have two coats or pairs of shoes in the entryway at once.


Day #8- Toys
BEFORE

AFTER
We bought these shelves and bins at Ikea and I think they've worked wonders!


Day #9- Dry Goods Cabinet
BEFORE

AFTER
Containers really do control chaos, huh.

So that's my organizing challenge update. It's going well. Even though I'm feeling very stressed since we are now also trying to move in the next few weeks. But organizing first is important and will help with the move, right. That's what I keep telling myself anyway. 

Also, here's my belly bump progress:

This is 2 months

This is 4 months

And this is 6 months.


I'm showing! Woohoo. Also it's fun to see the progression of my hair color from super dark to my original again. If you had any idea how many hours of sitting in the hair school chairs that took, you'd be really impressed that I decided to still do it. Just from the 4 month to the 6 month pic, I got my hair lightened once and it alone took 7 HOURS! Ridiculous, right? Anyway, that's what I have time to say right now. Check back soon!

I am very proud of your organizing efforts and skills. You're doing great, keep up the good work. I never paid much attention until I saw your cabinet, but having bins in the same color makes it look better. I am going to get some new bins. Thanks for the visual suggestion.

Love the organizing! You are inspiring me! I really like the toy shelf holder that you got. It is adorable.I also like the under gripper thing...that the foil is in. That looks cool.
