5 Areas You Can Clean to Feel Organized


Do you ever just not know where to start? I hear this all the time from my friends and family when they are referencing me being organized and clean. Here's the thing, it isn't always super easy. Sometimes areas pile up and I want to lose it LOL, but when I organize/clean these 5 areas I feel so much better. I always say 'a clean room is a happy room'. :)

1. The Pantry
This place is 100% storing expired food, for sure (unless you clean it out every week haha). I take ALL the food out, check it all, and then organize what can go back in. It feels nice to open it up and not see chip bags piled up or 10 boxes of pasta. If you notice when you take out all the food that it could use some cleaning, do a quick clean. This is a perfect time since it is bare.

2. The Fridge
Just like the pantry (definitely has expired condiments). Cleaning/organizing it will motivate you to eat at home, eat healthy, whatever you're going for. When my fridge is a disaster I don't even want to open it and then I end up spending loads of money eating out. Again, like the pantry, perfect time to wipe down those drawers and shelves.

3. Your Car
If you are like me, you say you are going to clean out your car every week and then winter comes and you don't clean it out until the following fall...right? LOL I organized my car at the beginning of summer and have been keeping up with it and it makes me so happy! Take all the stuff out of the hidden compartments, cup holders, side pockets on the doors, your back seat, trunk...and put. it. away (or throw it out if it is trash LOL). TRUST ME, your mornings will feel easier when you hop into that organized car because it feels brand new. When I do this I also take it up to the gas station to vacuum it out and I wipe everything down as well.

4. Your Purse/Bag
Nothing is more annoying then when your purse is filled with receipts, your cards you need are mixed in with your gift cards, and you have a bunch of unnecessary junk. I personally have a small wristlet and then my teacher bag, so I clean out both. With my purse I take everything out (are you seeing a trend here? haha) and then keep the cards I use daily in the main area and I put the gift cards in the little side pocket. Then I clean out my bag and of course take everything out and figure out what needs to stay and what needs to be put away. Such a good feeling when your purse or bag feels lighter.

5. Your Bathroom
Take everything out of the shower, what do you REALLY need in there? Organize- also perfect time to clean it ;). There's no need for a million shampoos. Then comes the drawers...mine get so bad. Again...take everything out. Go through it. If you never use it give it away or throw it away. When you're done with ALL the drawers and closet, if you have one. Clean the counter, wipe off the mirror, put some cleaner in the toilet and you will be excited to get up and get ready.

Happy Cleaning/Organizing!

End of the Year Gifts/Prep

I was so sad to see the end of the year come. I feel like I needed more time with them! I did my normal bag of stuff: memory book, year of crafts, award, and a key chain! These are the bags I use. You can get them on Amazon, but make sure you get the size that is at least 9x12. I've made the mistake of getting the smaller ones before lol. This is the memory book I use. I've changed it over the years, but I just simplified it down. You can edit it in Canva, google slides, or PP! You could also use this, but it's more for one student. I used it as a moving away book, but if you started this early, you could make a book for each student. I did the key chains again.  I do not suggest doing a whole class picture because it's so small. The selfie works so much better! Click here for the tag and click here for the key chain photo frames . Every year I hold onto the crafts. I usually just stack them and then we spend some time at the end of the year passing them out. This year...

SUBTRACTION WINTER CRAFT

If you've been around for awhile you know that I LOVE craftivities. I think they are so much more fun than just the regular day to day lessons and even more than random stations. I typically tend to hate station games and cut out cards because they get lost and what not. #iykyk Over winter break I was trying to prep to come back and I knew I wanted to start doing a math craft every Friday. I am a creature of habit and routine, so I want to start doing Monday-Thursday stations and Friday craftivities. I saw a few subtraction craftivities on pinterest, but they weren't really sparking my interest. I wanted something different than something being eaten and it needed to be winter themed. So penguins on and off an iceberg just popped into my head.   I decided to first let my kids color the penguins. I also made them number the back because I knew they would be all over the ground and no one would know which are theirs. So we did that, but it took longer than expected so I collected...
