Week 2

Ok so week 2 I tackled the book case in the spare room. It was literally overflowing onto the floor. Books EVERYWHERE!!! I got rid of an entire 16in. box of books (off topic anybody wants some books lol).I think that next week I am going to tackle the closet in the master bedroom. It's in definite need of some help!!

Before: Books everywhere!

After: Nice and organized! The bottom shelf and most of the 3rd shelf are all Andrew's books. Hopefully we'll be able to thin them out a little more once he gets home.

Week 1

Ok so far so good I'm making progress on this whole clean out one part of the house one day a week challenge. I decided to start small. Mainly because I didn't want to overwhelm myself and quit on week one. This week I started with the closet in our front spare bedroom. It had become the catchall for things that didn't have a home. There were two boxes of random stuff that still hadn't been unpacked from when we moved in in June! I thought I had taken a before picture, but evidently I did not. So, here is the after picture for the closet and the before picture for next week's project.

Nice clean closet. The green tub is Andrew's stuff to take care of when he gets home.

Next week's project. The bookcase that ate the bedroom.

Strange Craving

I was driving from the gym to Michael's today and all I could think was that I wanted a salad. Then I started thinking about salads and how I miss the McSalad salad shaker. They were yummy and convenient and you could add just a little dressing, shake and there was dressing on the whole salad. Now if only I could convince McDonalds to bring them back.

Project 52

So, I've been thinking about this for the whole day. I'm not sure I want to do another 30 day challenge, so I've decided instead to make up my own Project 52. I've been wanting to organize/clean out this house for a while now (try since the day we got our crap from TMO). So, once a week for 52 weeks I am going to organize/clean out a portion of this house. I think that I'm going to start small with a closet or something and move on from there. Hopefully, by the time this year is over I will have clean, de-cluttered, organized home. Bonus points for Andrew not being able to find anything when he gets home (jk dear). Hopefully someone will hold me to this and I will actually get it accomplished!!!

What to do now

I logged in this morning to post my blog for the 30 day challenge only to realize that it's over I finished! Truth be told, I'm sort of bummed. I liked being able to sit down and either take a picture or look through my old pictures to find something to post. Now I'm going to have to figure out something else to do with this blog. lol.

Day 24

Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change


I wish I could grow my finger nails out. I feel like every time I try to grow them out they snap off or get brittle. I've tried taking vitamins and using strengthening nail polish, but for some reason none of it seems to work.

Day 23

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book


I loved to read, so it's hard for me to pick just one book. So instead, I picked my favorite book by each of my favorite authors. I love Jodi Picoult, Nicholas Sparks, and Mary Higgins Clark. I could seriously read all of their books over and over again.

Day 22

Day 22 - A picture of something you wish you were better at
I know that I'm pretty good at knitting (if I do say so myself) , but I wish that I was better at crocheting. I know I just learned, but I found a pattern for this blanket and I'm in love with it. Now if only I can figure out how to make it.
