Organized Playroom





Before...I am very ashamed to actually post these pictures!




























I accepted the challenge from Organzing Junkie to try to organize the playroom. Here are the after shots. I am not happy with the set up, so please make suggestions!



Organizing the laundry/mud room

Inspired by the Oranization Junkie I am working on finally getting this house set up and organized. With homeschooling starting soon, we need some order around here!

The obligatory "before" picture. Here is the mudroom/laundry room before. This is not anywhere near the worst is gets.



With 6 of us, we needed some way to keep track of shoes, book bags, coats, etc. Each girl and I have a hook. The girls each have a backpack on theirs, and a jacket. Some have epi-pen holders hanging there too. Mine has a sweatshirt and a jacket.

Below the hooks, you can see the drawers. Each of us has one, and each person knows which is their's by color. All shoes, hats, gloves, scarves, etc go into these drawers.

This alone has saved us at least 15 minutes every Sunday morning when we need shoes for Mass.

Brownies

Today the girls and I made 3 batches of the richest brownies ever! We used our family recipe, they stirred (Diva had a bowl, the twins shared one, and CG had a bowl) while I measured and poured - assembly line style. We even added mini M&Ms, yummy!

But I could not find the camera :( so no messy girl faces, and there were 4 at the time.

What's Your Challenge? GIVEAWAY!


Go over the Reluctant Entertainer and enter to win this beautiful apron and fun picnic items.

Summer is Here!

We decided to "wash" the van today. The girl had a blast smearing the dirt around on the van. They did a wonderful job considering their sizes and the fact that we did not use soap!
