tupperware drawer

Tupperware is such an annoyance isnt it?! No matter how hard I try to keep the drawer organized it never..ever..stays that way.  With little hands in and out of it getting snack bowls, or Caleb putting away dishes ;)

Yikes!!

BUT Pinterest plus $1.99 equals...

Im not confident it will stay like this long.. but its nice while it lasts :)

pantry makeover

All I need is to make a few labels for my containers and it'll be complete! But who knows when Ill actually get around doing that, so I figured Id go ahead and show you the huge change!
Again... dont judge my before! HAHA...it was pretty scary looking, I KNOW! :)
I wanted to go a different route with it, but once I got to the Container Store I realized there was no way I was going to spend huge bucks for all my container/bins to match.  They had some flour/sugar containers for $18.00 a piece! Nuts.  So I bought a couple cheap ones and scavenged through our tubs we had upstairs (from when we used them for toy storage).  Worked out ok :)

Ive already had to rearrange a few things ;)

coat closet make over

20 mintues and $12 well spent!
Our sad little coat closet gets pretty beat up and not very good attention.  But then I saw some amazing closets on Pinterest and decided ours needed some TLC! I wish we could do a lot more with it but since its under the stairs there's a big slant and not very good usable space {though it is the home of the roller coaster and the trampoline so we can still get those fun things out occasionally!}
Now, before you go and judge my before picture, know that this is seriously at its WORST! ;) But hey, its winter, where we have lots of extra bulky things; hats, coats, gloves, boots, etc! AND its hard keeping up with 3 mobile boys! {no, not talking about Ezra} haha.

coming soon...my pantry make over!! :)

laundry room

I just got new bins for our laundry room shelf...making it feel more complete! So I thought Id show you what it looks like now! Someday I want to paint it a fun color...but lets finish putting the blinds up in the house first ;)

play room ALMOST complete

here is a peek at our play room. a few things need to be done: some picture lables on the bins so the boys are better at putting the right toys in the right home, the desk needs moved over a bit to line up evenly with the shelf (but this pregnant mama wasnt going to try to move a thing!), some blinds, and a little better organizing on the shelf.
