Weekend Wrap Up

January 12, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

Ahhh another close to another weekend. I’m so over winter and gloomy and rain. I wish it would just snow…ahh snow..

This weekend we got all the Christmas officially out away and started putting up Valentine’s!

All Christmas returns done!

I have to admit I have been actively cleaning and all the kitchen drawers are done…..but only the drawers. I also worked on the second shelf in the pantry and would have done the third but the store was completely out of the wire baskets that matched the others I had used and well it just doesn’t feel right for them to not match. Does anyone else have that neurosis? So project on hold until matching wire baskets can be found. I so hate stopping a project midway through but I’d rather do it right than rush it.

I put up my Valentine’s Day Department 56 houses-yes I have Valentine’s and Easter and Halloween on top of my Christmas ones.

We made a trip to the mall and had some Dr. Popcorn aka crack. It’s so good-sweet butter baby!

I have been scrolling pinterest for our next project and I’m sure you have been too.

Oh and playdough is happening over here-obsessed she is.

This new week marks the first week we will be back to our official routine so my alarm is set for Ibloom and let the craziness begin.

How Do Ya Like Them Goals?

How are you ~~new~~ forever ongoing goals coming along????? Have you been organizing and purging your life of the clutter?

Challenge accepted.

I’m happy to report two, yes two kitchen drawers have been gutted, cleaned, purged and reorganized. It’s amazing what you have even in a small drawer that you don’t need. Seems like once you start digging you find all sorts of things!

I also started the pantry. In true teacher fashion I mapped it out-shelf by shelf. It actually really helped. That way I could inventory what we had and buy storage accordingly. I told you I was taking this slow and I meant it. I would much rather take my time and complete it just the way I was hoping rather than rushing through. I was able to complete the top two shelves in our pantry.

I do need a new sugar container and a chalkboard label which I realized after the fact. These items will be purchased next week and then I can move onto the next shelf.

I’m actually loving it. Yes I made every family member including Row come in and bask in the ambiance of it.

I’ve also been working on Valentine’s!!!!! EEEK…too soon?

Oh and I think my darling daughter may have inherited the organization sickness-sorry girlfriend.

Weekend Wrap Up

Ahhh sadly the weekend is over…time for a wrap up.

We spent most of the weekend inside because it was freezing! Plus hubs got called into work for the week-sad face- so we were making the most of the time at home.

She allowed me to put her hair in a full pony!!!

How many holiday returns did you have???? I stood in line at Toys R Us for a good 45 minutes and the poor lady behind me had an entire cart-an entire cart full of returns-sigh! That poor woman. I actually held her cart so she could take a restroom break during the whole process.

Row throws her cup down like Thor after drinking-I photo journaled that awesomeness.

We spent the weekend catching up on movies during nap time….Brides Maids, World War Z, the Interview. Yes we downloaded it and watched it and you know what it was pretty hilarious!

We colored a lot!

All of our Christmas came down thanks to Grandma….I did some too. It was so sad driving up to the house with no lights. It makes it feel all empty inside. I decided to fill this hurt by placing Valentine’s yard stakes out.

Our garage door bent…which was awesome.

I finished organizing all our dvds!!!! Photos and a post to come!

I actually got one whole shelf in the pantry fully organized the way I wanted and drum roll… two kitchen drawers emptied, cleaned, organized and purged!!!! This whole organize one tiny thing a day is really helping. I’m not overwhelmed but rather excited. It’s true what they say about the clutter holding you back.

Goals for the week-cleaning more of the kitchen!!!! Breaking out the new mini food processor I got for Christmas and celebrating my birthday month in style!!! What did you do this weekend?

What’s Row wearing? Matilda Jane Surprise Puffer Top, Plum Kitten Cardigan, and Blur Ribbon Leggings
