Live More With Less: Week 5 (Kitchen)
We’re back with more organizing fun today! We just finished Week 5 of the Live More With Less: 7 Weeks to a Clean and Declutered Home challenge that Emily is graciously hosting over at Imperfect.
So far I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this kick-in-the-butt to get my home in gear — although it’s definitely been more work than I expected!
So far I’ve organized:
- My messy master bedroom closet
- My two-year-old’s bedroom
- My 10-month-old daughter’s bedroom
- My home office/craft room
I think I was originally scheduled to show you the basement this week, but we’re in the middle of some major painting (yessss!) and decorating, so I’m hoping that it will be done by the final week of this challenge.
In the meantime, let’s take a peek at how I’ve been making a few organizational upgrades to our main level — well, really just our kitchen and the hutch in our dining room.
Here’s how it looked before I got started …
 |
| Hello, living room. (Still to come: curtains to go with the sheers, a rug, and a coffee table — and upgrading to a black leather sofa at some point) |
 |
| How much do I adore gallery walls? |
 |
| My Cougar Town inspired “EAT” letters |
 |
| Front hall leading to the kitchen |
 |
| D is a voracious painter, so we’re always adding to our gallery. |
 |
| Yet another gallery wall (I’m addicted) and a very meaningful horseshoe above the door (it was from Darling Husband’s grandfather’s garage). |
 |
| Here’s an old shot of the dining room (minus the high chair) |
OK, so that was the main level. Looked pretty clean and organized from the OUTSIDE, but the mess was lurking inside drawers and cabinets, so that’s what I focused on.
Let’s start with the hutch …
 |
| Some people store dishes in their hutch. Ours is mostly the laptop, art supplies, Play-Doh, and “big-boy activities” like paints, bead sets, games, flashcards, etc. |
 |
| I was wasting a whole cupboard on “rarely-used entertaining stuff,” and Baby C was constantly getting into it and tipping over the cup of disposable forks. Time for a change! |
 |
| I dug out all of Darling Husband’s beer glasses and relocated them to the basement, by the beer fridge — um, that makes sense! |
 |
| Nice empty cupboard |
 |
| It’s now the perfect spot for all of D’s puzzles! Most of them are in sandwich containers for easy storage, and a few are still in baggies (in the big white bin). It’s so easy for him to get one out. |
 |
| Out-of-control marker storage was next on my list … |
 |
| I tried each and every marker, and these were the only ones not dried up. Lesson learned — toddlers DO NOT need a million markers. |
 |
| I added a few labels, and now his art drawer is much neater. He has an easier time putting everything away, too. |
 |
| I dug out all the dried-up clumps of Play-Doh and threw away the half-empty dried-up cans. I also added a container of plastic cookie cutters, which thrilled D to no end (and freed up room in my crowded baking cupboard, that you’ll see in a minute). |
 |
| Not much changed in the laptop drawer, except I decided to add the camera. We used to store it on top of the microwave (it’s really small), but now it’s out of sight — although still very accessible. |
 |
| But the drawer hadn’t been closing properly in a while, so I yanked the whole thing out to see what the problem was. Ahhhh … |
 |
| There’s my book! (Yes, I’m actually a 13-year-old girl. Don’t judge). |
 |
| I also polished up the hutch itself, to get off the flecks of paint that had seemed to take over. Hazard of being a large piece of furniture next to a toddler’s art area! |
 |
| Nicely-organized hutch! |
 |
| Next on my list was the jam-packed “baby” cupboard. Now that C is 10 months old (!!!) I realized I could toss the burp cloths and baby bottles. I also packed away the silicone trays we use for making purees, because she’s really on mainly finger foods now. *tear* |
 |
| Now this cupboard is a thing of beauty! (Which is a good thing, since we go into it about eighty-five times a day) |
 |
| Instead of stacking zillions of sippy-cups and having a pile of lids crash down every other day, I paired up a selection of cups and tossed the rest. We don’t NEED 500 sippy-cups, especially since D drinks out of real glasses at home. |
 |
| We still have a small selection of “baby” food on the top shelf (puffs, rice cereal for bedtime) as well as some free containers of formula for emergencies (C tried it once and hated it, just like D). But overall, the cupboard is MUCH easier to manage now. |
 |
| This was DEFINITELY my biggest challenge. This cupboard above the fridge was supposed to be my baking cupboard, but — because it’s the only cupboard the kids can’t reach, since D can climb onto the counters — it had also become our equivalent of a junk drawer. Boo! |
 |
| Look at that hot mess. |
 |
| Once I took out all of the actual BAKING supplies, all of this OTHER crap was leftover! Does this look like baking stuff? |
 |
| Shoutout to a shotglass Darling Husband received as a gift about 10 years ago. The letters have worn off part of it, but it used to say “Liquor in the front, poke her in the rear.” *snicker* Yeah, this DEFINITELY did not belong in the baking cupboard! |
 |
| I decided to make this cupboard into a “junk” cupboard, since that’s what it constantly ended up being anyway. But it needed more organization. I put my cookbooks in a clear plastic drawer at the back, so I can stand on a chair and grab the whole bin when I need one. I also found a pretty box for storing my makeup (which used to live on the microwave, since I always do my makeup in the kitchen while making/eating breakfast — is that weird?). |
 |
| Our “everyday” medicines go here, too, but the rest are kept in the powder room (which you’ll see next week). Those are kept locked up with a hard-to-manage babyproof lock, so it’s easier to keep the stuff we need all of the time here. |
 |
| I know these labels seem random, but there are things that are never easily located when we actually need them. I don’t know how many times I’ve been hissing at Darling Husband to find matches or a lighter while our guests are waiting for us to light birthday candles (well, maybe three times, but that’s enough). The locks are for when I take the kids swimming, or if Darling Husband needs an extra for a locker at work. And when my mom comes over, she used to always bug me about finding a corkscrew (Darling Husband and I don’t drink wine). |
 |
| It’s MUCH easier to find things in our “junk” cupboard now. Love it! |
 |
| This was the cupboard above the stove that held tea, coffee, travel mugs, and my “everyday” baking supplies (since most of them were stuck up in the aforementioned HORRIBLE CUPBOARD OF CRAP. |
 |
| I made a few labels and rearranged it a bit, and now it holds tea, coffee, travel mugs, and only two specific kinds of baking ingredients: chocolate and marshmallows. In a perfect world, I’d love to have everything all in ONE baking cupboard, but these guys just couldn’t fit — so at least they’re together. |
 |
| Oh look! Here’s the rest of my baking supplies, off its own cupboard. But wait — that doesn’t look very tidy … |
 |
| I know! Let’s hide my “extras” (extra bags of sugar) behind these awesomely-labeled containers of baking supplies! |
 |
| Ta-da! New and improved baking cupboard in a new home. See how the extra bags are hidden behind the bins? Ahhh. |
 |
| My “everyday” ingredients are now stored here, so I can easily grab everything. |
 |
| I also added a Command Hook to the door for my (dirty) oven mitts, which used to always get lost inside the appliance garage. What’s an appliance garage? … |
 |
| This is an appliance garage! Here’s how it looked before — kind of jumbly, and my poor oven mitts were always difficult to find (and often crushed by the toaster or crockpot). |
 |
| I cleaned out the whole thing. Maaaaan, there were a LOT of toast crumbs! |
 |
| Here’s the new and improved appliance garage. I put my frequently-used items on the top (toaster, tea kettle, crockpot) and my less-used items on the bottom (breadmaker, electric frying pan, George Foreman grill). |
 |
| This is my favourite part — see the plastic bin just for KitchenAid attachments and handheld mixers? SO MUCH EASIER to locate these things now, and decide which mixer I should use. |
 |
| My spice cabinet was organized a few months ago, so I didn’t change anything here. Just added a label to the sugar jar! |
 |
| Our utensil drawer was very jumbly — even though it had two dividers — so I took everything out, cleaned it, tossed a few things in the donate box, and put everything back. |
 |
| I swear, putting my little measuring spoons in their own section has been awesome. I was always sorting through the drawer looking for them before! |
 |
| Ready for under-the-sink grossness? I used to dread going under here for anything. |
 |
| Ta-da! I’d love to build shelves in here or something, but for now, this is working well. |
 |
| This section is my favourite. The bathroom garbage bags and soap refills are stored all together now, because we were always misplacing the soap refills and running from bathroom to bathroom trying to find bags). And having our garbage bags all together in a drawer makes it easier to see when we’re running low. |
 |
| I kind of love Command Hooks. LOVE LOVE LOVE. |
 |
| A much happier under-the-sink space. |
 |
| This final cupboard — our snack cupboard — was always a HUGE embarrassment to me when a guest would accidentally open it looking for a glass or something. No matter how often I cleaned it out, it would quickly look just like this. It was a horribly messy jumble of kiddie snacks, adult snacks, half-empty chip bags, and even extra baking ingredients like chocolate and marshmallows (which *some people* think of as snacks, ahem, Darling Husband). |
 |
| This is a badly-lit photo, but here’s our new and improved snack cupboard. I bought three Dollar Store bins and used a few existing jars and containers. Now we have “Treats” (at the top, so D can’t see them), “Popcorn,” “Nuts,” “Fruit snacks,” and “Crackers.” It looks a thousand times better! |
Well, that’s what I’ve done on the main floor over the last couple of weeks. Ready for a quick recap?
 |
| Baking cupboard! |
 |
| Hutch storage turned to puzzle storage! |
 |
| Snack cupboard! |
 |
| Spice cupboard and utensil drawer! |
 |
| Baking/junk cupboard to a more functional “junk” cupboard! |
 |
| Under the sink! |
 |
| A pared-down “baby stuff” cupboard! |
Thanks for stopping by to check out my kitchen/dining room organization, and I hope you also check out what Emily at Imperfect and everyone else have overhauled this week.
Make sure to come back next Wednesday, after I’ve improved the organization in our three bathrooms.
Happy Organizing!

… and then my toddler started sleepwalking
Happy Saturday evening, everyone. Ready for a sleepy rant-y type of post, fueled by one too many bad nights’ sleep? Sure you are!
It’s been a week since the time change, and sleep has been awful.
I have a very regimented bedtime of 11 p.m., and have for months now. After the kids are in bed, I’ve nursed C, and I’ve gone back into D’s room a few times to deal with bloodcurdling shrieks — a hysterical mash-up of “Tuck back innnnn!” and “More Jingle Belllllllls!” and “Go poooo? Go peeeeeeee, Mama!” — I do any final tidying up, watch one recorded show in peace, wash my face and brush my teeth, read, and turn out the lights at 11. Simple but fulfilling.
(On Darling Husband’s nights off, we watch a show or two together, or play a game, but I’m still pretty much in bed by 11.)
Thanks to the time change, I’m no longer feeling sleepy by 11, because it feels like 10. This could very well by psychological, because maybe it’s actually very easy for adults to adjust to time changes? Regardless, I’m finding myself tossing and turning — and missing an hour of much-needed sleeeeeep. I’m also finding it harder than usual to get up in the morning. Ugh.
The kids don’t seem too affected by the time change, BUT their sleep has not been great this week. C has been waking up multiple times a night — teething? Who knows? — and generally being EXTREMELY CRANKY during our waking hours, which is even more exhausting to deal with because I’m extra tired. Am I just projecting, or are girls really crankier than boys? I swear, this girl has ATTITUDE.
Anddddd D has been having regular bouts of sleepwalking. Yup, you read that right — sleepwalking! I always thought that meant wandering through the house with outstretched arms like a mummy, but apparently it also lends itself to two-year-olds.
Darling Husband has yet to witness D’s sleepwalking, because it’s been happening on nights when he works, and he says he’s glad to miss it. It is pretty creepy, I’ll admit it.
He thuds into his bedroom door and then kind of whimpers against it. I go in, and I can tell he’s sleepwalking — and not just doing his usual “Tuck me back innnnnn!” routine — because he’s not responsive. He is usually sitting on the floor by his door, staring off into space. I whisper to him and ask if he needs to be tucked back in, and he doesn’t respond. I pick him up and he rests his head on my shoulder, but he doesn’t say a word while I carry him back to bed and tuck him in. He closes his eyes and doesn’t even ask for Jingle Bells. It’s eerie.
It’s a quick process, but it seems to happen about two hours after I get to sleep — and 1-2 hours before C wakes up wanting to be nursed — so it kind of kills my REM or whatever kind of healing sleep I should be getting. Coupled with the fact that he may also wake up an hour after C is back in bed, crying that he needs to potty, and it’s a recipe for a tiring morning.
As tired as I am these days, I know this isn’t going to last forever. I’ll probably only be nursing for a few more months. D will probably outgrow his sleepwalking — according to the toddler sleepwalking websites I’ve been reading. Darling Husband won’t always work the back shift, which puts me alone at the realm of The S.S. Sleep Problems.
And yes, it is pretty funny when I almost jump out of bed in terror because I’ve heard Scout, The Talking Puppy, burst into song over the baby monitor at 2 a.m.
Enough blogging. I’m going to take my own advice and try to get some sleep!
Good night!

Live More With Less: Week 4 (Office/Craft room)
 |
| Yuck, right? TOO MUCH STUFF! Not enough organization. |
 |
| My thread has been a huge pain in the butt for years, because it always gets tangled together. So I decided to create a better storage system … |
 |
| I drew a grid on a piece of scrap wood, hammered in some nails … |
 |
| … and, uh, had Darling Husband hammer the REST of the nails. That stuff gets old quickly. (He also spraypainted the finished product white |
 |
| A thing of beauty! |
 |
| A welcome addition to my craft closet! |
 |
| I also wanted to create a new piece of art for my room, so I grabbed this 50-cent shadowbox I’d picked up at Goodwill … |
 |
| … convinced Darling Husband to take it apart (it was mega-sealed, guys) … |
 |
| Painted it grey, added new white paper as a background … |
 |
| … and hung it with some very special art. Can you guess what it is? |
 |
| THREAD! A lovely jumble I pulled from the bin where I used to store my bobbins. How cute is that? |
 |
| I love my messy little thread ball. |
 |
| Moving right along, I went through my crafty storage bins in the closet, and made new labels for everything (to make sure I don’t have any excuse for not putting things back in the proper spot). |
 |
| It’s not showing up well in this photo, but these drawers are labeled “Cards/Envelopes,” “Scrapbook Embellishments,” and “Paper Crafting Supplies.” |
 |
| The handy little basket is full of paint swatches, fabric samples, and my “house design” notes and sketches. |
 |
| Sewing kit, button box, bobbin box, and my cupcake-shaped pincushion — all with their own spot! |
 |
| The back corner of the closet isn’t very pretty, but it serves a purpose. The bottom bin stores ceramic/glass project supplies, the middle one stores wood (signs, shapes, etc. to be painted), and the top bin is my “To be scrapbooked” bin. This is where I toss printed photos, birthday invites, cards, and anything else I want to scrapbook. Someday (WHEN EXACTLY?) when I have time, I’ll get caught up on my scrapbooking. It’s only been, like, 10 months. No biggie. |
 |
| I love my label-maker. And yes, I have bins for stones and sand. For creative purposes that have not made themselves clear just yet. |
 |
| Yup, a bin for newspaper. Handy for covering the table, or for paper mache projects. |
 |
| Hard to see the labels here (because they’re clear) but I finally made labels for all my bins of scrapbook paper. |
 |
| These are my go-to bins, located at the front of the closet: my gluegun, my paint brushes, and my tarps (garbage bags). |
 |
| You can see the floor! That’s progress! |
 |
| It still looks very crowded, but it’s an improvement! Trust me! |
 |
| Once my craft closet was under control, I turned my attention to the “office-y” shelves above my art desk. They definitely needed labels, because I was the only one who knew what was inside each one. |
 |
| Nice new pink labels! Much better! |
 |
| Blank CDs and DVDs aren’t used too often these days, but here we are anyway. |
 |
| Notebooks. Love ’em. (I am a reporter, albeit a freelance one) |
 |
| Darling Husband never knew where I’d stuck the external drive, so now it’s nice and clear. |
 |
| Remember my $5 bookshelf makeover using a turquoise sheet? Here it is again! |
 |
| More labels. I have a |
 |
| We keep our thumb drives in this cute old mug, so it finally got a label, too. |
 |
| Oh, and this is my desk. Hi! This is where I’m sitting now, as I type this. |
 |
| Like my shadowboxes? I have a thing for shadowboxes, too. The Jennifer Aniston one represents an ENORMOUS bin of magazines and newspaper articles I used to keep about her. I’m a mega-fan, but I decided to “mature” and condense my collection down to whatever could fit into a shadowbox, and that was probably a good decision. |
 |
| This shadowbox represents my first car, Trixie. I had the entire interior painted, and redid the exterior to be black with a bright pink racing stripe. She was the best car in the world, and I miss her. |
 |
| This box represents my time as an Entertainment Reporter with The Daily News, back in my younger days (22-24) — which you can read more about on my worky-work site, if you’re so inclined. It was an amazing job, I worked with really special people, and I’ll always remember those days fondly. |
 |
| Here’s the view from my desk. |
 |
| What’s on my desk? My headseat, a very cute lamp (gift from Best Friend years ago), and my trusty phone. |
 |
| This is my favourite part of my office — my high school photo of Darling Husband, the adorable rugby player. xoxoxo |
 |
| This is the other “view” from my desk. My closet does have a door — it’s just rarely shut. |
 |
| I decided the only way to keep my closet from overflowing with tossed-in stuff was to make a bin for “Projects in progress.” Currently in this bin is a Build-a-Bear that needs to be restuffed and resewn. Thanks, D. |
 |
| Another bookshelf shot. Lots of books, and this is AFTER I donated a bunch a few months ago. |
 |
| Who doesn’t love a before and after? |
 |
| Organizing makes everything better. |
Thanks for stopping by to check out my office/craft room organizationand I hope you also check out what Emily at Imperfect and everyone else have overhauled this week.
Make sure to come back next Wednesday, when I’ll reveal my updated main floor organization.
Happy Organizing!

The little moments
And now for a post that has absolutely nothing to do with organizing? …
I bet you’re surprised to hear from me on a Thursday! I’m loving my decision to participate in Imperfect’s Live More With Less challenge (as seen here, here, and here), because it’s kicked my butt to purge a lot of unnecessary stuff. But that takes a lot of time — hence the crickets chirping here on the blog, while I madly sort and clean and organize in the background.
So I wanted to take a minute to record some of the little moments that have been making me smile lately, since I feel I never get a chance to properly post about them.
***
At naptime, I used to put D down first and then bring C into her room to nurse her and put her in her crib. But lately, I’ve switched things up — since D has been a terrible napper, and would often scream at his door while I was trying to settle C.
So now I rock and nurse C while D stays in the nursery with us, and we quietly sing to C together. He really seems to understand that this is a time to be very, very quiet and gentle, because we want C to get into sleepy mode. Singing his new favourite thing.
We do Rock-a-bye Baby, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Do You Know The Muffin Man? (sung very softly, not the usual rousing way) and Mary Had A Little Lamb. C seems to like it, and I love listening to D doing his best “hushed singing” and kissing his baby sister on the head.
(Plus, he gets to stay up a little longer, which means less time to be crying and fussing in his bedroom while Mommy’s trying to work. Sigh.)
***
D and I do special “big-boy” activities together when C is napping in the morning, and it’s one of the best times of my day. Sometimes it’s painting or jewelery-making or a messy science-experiment-y type of art project, but often we bake.
Yesterday, we made chocolate-chocolate-chip cookies for the first time. He is constantly amazing me in how he’s shifting from a hassle in the kitchen to an actual helper.
He puts forward suggestions of what we should make. He knows how to tap the measuring spoon inside the bowl to get everything out. He holds things carefully. He knows that you need to fill the cup up to the top before you dump in the flour. He carefully unwraps the margarine squares and knows exactly what bowl to put them into. He can actually stir a bowl of dry ingredients (A) without it all going on the floor, and (B) well enough that I don’t need to re-stir it afterwards.
***
C has always been a feisty girl, and now that she’s 10 months old (NO! I won’t believe it!) she’s getting to be very funny. Darling Husband and I are always laughing as she crawls lightning-fast over to her brother’s miniature table and chairs, hauls herself up, and starts grabbing at his food or glass of milk.
D wraps his arms protectively around whatever he’s eating and says “NO, Sissy!” and she just laughs and bangs on the table, trying harder to steal something. If he unwraps her chubby little fingers from the edge of the table and she plops back down onto the floor, she only takes a second or two to pop back onto her feet and start yanking at his clothes.
Ah, sibling love.
***
As much as C seems to bother D and D seems to tease C, we’re getting more and more moments of actual “play” between them. Nothing makes my heart happier than seeing them sitting on the floor together giggling at each other, as they play with something (Tupperware???) that doesn’t seem fun at all.
Sometimes they will get on little giggling fits where they are laughing at each other’s laugh, and I scramble for my phone to record their sweetness.
***
C is a Daddy’s girl, and watching her light up for Darling Husband is incredible. Sometimes I feel a little hurt that she might prefer him, but then she has days when she seems to want nothing but Mommy.
Her new awesome thing is resting her head against your chest when you’re holding her. Darling Husband just loves it, because he doesn’t get the volume of cuddle-opportunities as me — with the breastfeeding and all.
When C rests her head on his chest and he snuggles her close, I feel so, so, so grateful that she has such an amazing, loving Daddy.
***
This is what I see, every day, but I know there will come a time when these memories will be fuzzy. I feel like I can barely remember D as a baby, and it was only a year and a half ago! When I see pictures of his babyhood, it feels like a thousand years ago.
As C creeps closer to a year old (April 25!) I keep feeling more and more nostalgic for a time that isn’t even over yet.
They’re both just so small. I spend all day, every day with them, and yet it still brings me to my knees when I think about their fleeting tinyness.
Yes, they’re a ton of work and they make a lot of messes, but they’re also amazingly hilarious and kind and awesome little people. I’m taking photos and videos like mad, trying to capture everything, but I just hope it’s enough.
This is a really, really good time in our lives. I know it. I never want to forget it.
Live More With Less: Week 3 (Nursery)
 |
| CLOSET: Before |
 |
| I was constantly heaping outfits on top of this drawer unit, because it was just easy. It was thereee, you know? |
 |
| C had lots of baskets in her closet, but they weren’t even all in use! Talk about wasted space. |
 |
| The shelves on the side (which Darling Husband so thoughtfully painted |
 |
| Ah, much better! |
 |
| So very, very white … |
 |
| When I dragged this drawer unit out of C’s closet, I realized that while these items USED TO BE useful, we had zero use for any of them anymore *sniff* because our baby is growing up. Everything had to go! |
 |
| C’s sock drawer had been jammed full of socks, tights, and BabyLegs, so I decided they needed more room. |
 |
| They each have their own baskets now! |
 |
| When I went through her clothes, I realized the girl had NINE MILLION JEAN JUMPERS/DRESSES. Seriously, who needs that many denim frocks? I know we’re Canadian, but sheesh! #canadiantuxedo? |
 |
| These are the foam organizers I had made way before C was born. I decided they no longer served a purpose for us, because I was constantly having to dig into the bigger sizes to see if things would fit — and I was always missing chances for her to wear certain items before she outgrew them. Annoying! |
 |
| So instead, I flipped the dividers over and made brand-new categories: Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, Formal, and “Wear ASAP because her booty is going to outgrow it like NOWWW!” |
 |
| This new system seems to be working MUCH better for us, because I’m not always trying to flip ahead to bigger sizes to make sure I’m not missing an outfit she could be wearing. If it’s appropriate to wear during the current season, it’s here. If it’s not, she can’t wear it anyway. The “Wear ASAP” has been INVALUABLE, so I get a reminder to put her in outfits at least once before she outgrows them. |
 |
| So much better! |
 |
| I made labels for her new changing table baskets, and OMG JUST REALIZED I spelled a word wrong (“headbands”) in my attempt to make pretty caligraphy. I’m kind of dying inside, but C is already sleeping so I can’t re-take the photo. You guys won’t, like, unfollow me over this right? * embarrassed* |
 |
| C’s finished closet! |
 |
| Her too-big clothes are stored in easily-accessible bins (now stored by SEASON and not size, which is a huge ah-ha! moment for me). The top baskets contain swimwear, hats, and too-big shoes (but they’re still very easy to grab, I’m tall). |
 |
| Don’t forget the extra blankey basket! (Remember when I made that quilt like a thousand years ago?) |
 |
| I’d buy stock in storage bins. I really would. |
 |
| This bottom shelf is empty on purpose, so I have a spot to lay out outfits in advance. |
 |
| The top shelf now contains “special” books (rescued from D’s room) that I read to the kids but don’t want eaten/ripped/damaged by tiny hands. See my treasured blue Laura Ingalls Wilder books? LOVE. THAT. GIRL. |
 |
| That’s it for the closet! Want to see the rest of C’s room? OK, sure! Let’s go! |
 |
 |
| Here are C’s outgrown baby clothes that I donated this week, along with pregnancy/baby care books, receiving blankets, blankets (not homemade ones, of course), burp cloths, bibs, bottles, and even some baby-proofing supplies that didn’t work for us. Everything went to a local family resource center that we dearly love to support, and it felt great. |
Thanks for stopping by to check out C’s nursery organization (and tour), and I hope you also check out what Emily at Imperfect and everyone else have overhauled this week.
Make sure to come back next Wednesday, when I’ll reveal my home office organization
Happy Organizing!
