The Little Girl's Room

I went through the 3-year-old girl's clothes and got her warm weather clothes out.

This is what I'm taking to the D.I.

 And I've had pictures waiting to be hung for about a year in her room.

 I got that taken care of too!

 The picture of the little girl is one from my college days that I love.

I love the feet even more.  One of them is hers and the other one is her twin brother's!

Basement Closet

This is not the first time that this closet has made and appearance on this blog.

It was clean and organized last year.

There are bins of boys' clothes in order under all of this mess.

When my boys outgrow something, they just throw it in the closet.

I organized it again today.

I guess I better tell them that the numbers on the bins represent the size of the clothes in the bin.

Do you think that would help?

(This something did help with my bag-a-day goal.  Two bags off to the D.I.!)

Hang it up!

I decided to finally take care of this mess today.

I had read about making a cute cork board jewelry organizer,

but I chose to use what I had.

Here is the result.

 And here is the bag I'm getting rid of.

Downed Tree

Have you heard the song, "I Cry the Day that I Take the Tree Down"?

That is not my favorite song.

And I DON'T cry the day that I take my tree down.

Look how much bigger my house looks with all of the Christmas stuff put away!

And look at these two empty somethings

that used to be full of Christmas decorations.

The D.I. got some of my less favorite Christmas stuff.

Hopefully, somebody there will like it!

In with the New...Out with the old!

With all the new stuff we got for Christmas,

it was time to get rid of some.

I put some out for the MS pick-up yesterday

and took the rest to the D.I. today.

Thrift Store Table

My little girl needs something to cruise around while she's learning to walk.

I was looking for a big ottoman, but ended up with this table instead.

It looked like this when I  bought it last night at the D.I.

It had some pretty yucky water damage on the top.

I sanded, primed,

and painted it and now it looks like this!

I hope it gets her walking all over!

D.I. Stop

I've had this

in the back of the car for the D.I. for a while now.

I finally dropped it off to day so I could fill it up with strollers and coolers

and umbrellas for a soccer tournament this weekend.

Two boys are playing.

We won two games and tied one.

And we'll do it all again tomorrow!

Basement Closet - Day Two

I finished the closet!

Before & After

After...

And look at all of this stuff that is going to the D.I.

D.I.

Took a load of clothes and other things that I've been collecting to the D.I. (thrift store).

Mostly little girl clothes and stuffed animals.

I really need to do this more often.

Less stuff means less to clean, right?

27-Thing-Fling

Today is the first day of Spring Break which means that I have all of my kids

and most of the neighbor kids here for a whole week.

My projects may be small this week, but I'll get 'em done!

Today I followed FlyLady's advice and did a 27-Thing-Fling.

I went through my closet and filled a bag for the D.I. (thrift store).

A few somethings...

Today I got a bag ready for the D.I.,

cleaned the shelf and trimmed the plants by the master bath,

Yup, that's a pineapple plant in the middle.  

The husband bought it at WalMart (of all places) a few years ago.

It really grew a pineapple!  He's hoping for another one.)

and did a little something for my mom.

She needed the cords on her computer straightened out.

Something's gone!

Today's project was to get rid of something.

I have been filling bags and boxes with things I don't want or need anymore.

I filled up the back of the car and made a trip to the D.I. with them.

That something will stay done FOREVER!
