Fendi & Emo - Rockin' Your Stockin'

Some of you may have heard from Jason that I went a little crazy with some bins… here is just one small portion of what I have done:

Thats right.  They all have their own little bins with their own little categories.  Jason’s favorite is the ‘Osama Bin Ramen‘ bin, which sadly enough is actually filled with ramen.  I really don’t know what we’re going to do with all of it… more to come…

So I have made two recent personal goals:

1. Update this more often then once every few months. (Whoops!)
2. Organize! Organize! Organize! I have been reading a few blogs, and I think it may be an epidemic. You read one blog where someone organizes, and you’re like, wow, why didn’t I think of that? And then you pick up a magazine with new ideas on how to save space as well… and it just starts a whole mess. As we are trying to save money right now, we have to start small. I’m starting in our pantry, which is a closet full of mess! I really wish I had taken before pictures because it would make even the slobbiest of slobs cringe. I read in some magazine that you can use wire or see through bins to help organize into categories, and I was hooked at that very moment. I have’t been able to find any cheap wire or see through bins (sad) so I am stuck with some plain ole’ plastic ones. Target had some on sale for $2 each, so I snagged a few. However, they only had black, fuchsia, and lime green. We took the last four black ones at that store, and plan to pick up more tomorrow. I already see an improvement in space and it feels great. I think it will also help with our grocery shopping issue where we just buy frivolously and in excess because we don’t know what we even have. Some of the space issue was old stuff, and we literally had items that expired before we even moved into this house. Eeesh. I plan to tackle the garage sometime soon as that is also a big disaster and we can barely even walk in it, much less get a car in it. However, I will have to wait for it to cool down before I take on that job. The kitchen, and our den need some work also, but I figure baby steps are a good thing.

We painted a room in our house, goodbye ugly green, hello nice blah bland colors <3!

Looks lovely!

Looks great with all the brown (yeck)

We finally built the sewing/craft table Jason got me for Christmas:

Spaaaace!

Aaaaaand I now cook fancy schmancy things at home like Chicken with a Reisling-Orange Sauce.  All.  Made.  From.  Scratch.  Check me out:

I also learned today, that dad, no matter how hard he tries, is NO MATCH for momma’s comfort in a thunderstorm.  I love our puppies.
