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!

Kid's Door Decor

If you want to skip the reading and go right to the door decor pack click here! So I did something wild yesterday. I let my kids decorate the door... A few years ago I said I wanted to put up a new door every month. The kids love when the door is decorated to something new. I lasted maybe 2 months LOL. I try to decorate it at the beginning, but it is such a pain. It always falls down, I can't get it straight, etc etc etc. Well last week one of my co-worker's decorated her door. It was a spring door with flowers and my kids of course were in awe. "Let's decorate our door!" So yesterday morning during my morning coffee I randomly thought to make a packet of things they could decorate the door with. It is homeschool at school in our classroom so I thought, I'll give them the stuff and some examples and they can decorate it together. I told them in the morning about it so they were pumped when it was time. I printed out all the stuff ahead of time and cut it into ...

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...

Christmas Presents with My Husband

This will be my third Christmas with my husband and two years ago we decided on no Christmas gifts. Instead, we (I lol) decided that we should do an ornament exchange.  A few years back I took out my grandma's ornaments with her and saw all the sweet ornaments family had given her, but my favorite were the ones from my grandpa. She even wrote the date and where he got them from...so sweet.  So anyways, I thought it would be cool to start doing that and then we could look back and one day our kids and grandkids could also look back. Our first year I got Nick an animal crossing ornament that I drove all over Florida to find lol and he got me a locket ornament, which he didn't even know what a locket was and there was a random couple inside haha. Here is the little cutie! I have been wanting to do an ornament of just stuff we were into each year. I finally got to it! Here is 2021... and 2022... I put shows and food we were obsessed with and some pictures! I sell them on my Etsy s...
