Getting Organized - Cleaning Closets

This is where we will be posting some of our blog entires for now for our Find More Facts About Organizing Blog until either Google fixes their new system or we find another blog host. For now here are our current posts. Enjoy!

Well, we have been working on cleaning out all of our closets. It is a big project, but we are taking it one closet (and sometimes one-half of a closet) at a time. We have been pulling everything out, sorting out the items to keep, what to pitch, and what to donate. We have been able to come up with a large size donate pile and have pared things down quite a bit. It feels good!

We are starting to get more organized as well. We used to have a big shopping bag filled with all those packets of pictures that we had developed. Now they have a new organized home in a rolling plastic container like this one from Organize.com:

30-Quart Clear Storage Boxes with Wheels - Set of 2 by Iris®

The 30-Quart Clear Storage Boxes with Wheels by Iris® are resilient and provide ample storage space for your household supplies. This jumbo sized box can store heavy and large items because of its unique modular shape and size. This box comes equipped with sturdy wheel for easy portability. The clear design allows you to view the contents of these boxes for easy identification of the contents. Durable snap down buckles secure the lid and ensure that your items will remain safe. Features: Thick plastic body for extra stability Clear design for easy identification of contents Modular shape and size for more storage potential Secure wing lid Stackable Size: 12 3/4"tall x 17 3/4"wide x 12 1/4"deep

It’s great because when I want to work with the pictures –someday – I can just wheel the box out and get to work. Then it is easy to store them again when I am done. Perfect! I can think of a lot of things I will be using these boxes for.
We also started organizing the boys’ closets (yikes!) and their personal memorabilia. We bought a couple of storage boxes like the one shown below to place all of their special papers, awards, keepsake clothing, etc in. The clear plastic is great for all of these boxes because you always know what the content is. We also have one box for each child so that when it’s time for them to take their special things with them, they are already all together in one place. Really useful!

Monday Madness is Back!

We are back with Monday Madness. Enjoy!

Well since I had missed the Dec. 11th blog, I didn't realize some of the questions were a repeat, so here are my answers to the revised question list. :-)

1. Did you make any resolutions this year?
No, I don't believe in making resolutions. I just make goals as I goal along throughout the year and work toward them one goal at a time.

2. If so, which one do you think you'll really stick to? If not, is there something you're going to try harder to accomplish?
I'm working on getting my business to be more profitable!

3. Do you have a fear of any small rodents/insects/etc? If so, please share.
Snakes!

4. Share something exciting that's going on in your life.
I'm taking my sister into Chicago for an overnight at a hotel this week to celebrate her __ birhtday [can't tell you which one ;_)]. We are going to a nice restaurant for dinner and going to see "Wicked". It should be loads of fun!

5. Did you wonder what happened to Monday Madness these past few weeks?
I sure did and I'm glad you're back.


1. What song gives you the most holiday cheer?
Any Christmas song by Harry Connick.

2. Who's the hardest person to shop for on your holiday list?
My 13 year old son. Too old for many toys now except video games. Kinda frustrating!

3. When do you start your holiday shopping?
Usually in October. This year, late November. Yikes!

4. What food or drink do you love when it's cold out? (Recipes and recommendations, please!)
I enjoy a nice warm chili. You can find the recipe here on Find More Facts.

5.What do you do to get rid of a cold or flu?
Go to bed if possible and drink plenty of fluids.

...and this question comes from another of our good friends, tricia:

Do you have a favorite gameshow announcer?
Not really, don't have much time to watch gameshows.
