So much for my new years resolution!

Well this year blogging didn't go as planned!

• I did organize under my kitchen sink after my "Ambitious Sunday" post...but that was nothing to write about!  

• I have also read five books so far this year.  One YA. One I started last year. And yes, the Fifty Shades trilogy.  I have SIX books to read before the first of the year, yikes!  (Better get to reading after this post!)

• Last weekend (11 months after my "Ambitious Sunday Blog") I finally got to organizing my pots & pans cabinet.  I will say, I am very excited about not having to dig, push, pull, and wiggle to get the pan I need out!  I simply added two stands to my bottom cabinet and left enough room to stand up cookie trays, cupcake pans, and cutting boards.

• Monday I found proper storage containers for my daughters Barbies and they have a much nicer and more accessible home in scrapbook storage containers and an organizing tray that surprisingly, are perfect for storing all those little accessories Barbie needs.  Plus! My daughter now enjoys playing and putting away her Barbies more!

With that in mind.  I am going to continue to be optimistic that more of my goals will be accomplished!

Tonight, with holidays and crafting in mind, I did find some inspiration to begin blogging again.  This weekends project is making four t-shirts. Two for a birthday and one for a baby shower.

 

Ambitious Sunday

So far this new year, I have accomplished one thing.  Breaking in my new pillow!  After a week of being sick, I woke up this morning thinking BRING IT ON and ready for the day.  Determined to at least get a couple of loads of laundry done, the Christmas tree down, the floors vacuumed, and to get started on catching up with my goals for the new year!

My home is tiny and storage and organization are huge issues.  I have found another blogger with an outlined set of goals for having an organized home in 2012 that I am hoping to follow to transform my home this year.  Since I fell behind last week, I'm going to focus on two of the goals for the coming week.  Kitchen organization: counter tops, cabinets, and sink. Pins/blogs that have given me ideas and inspiration: a family control center, tabletop organizer, cookware organization, underneath the sink, clear up a drawer, cutting boards, pots and pans, and finally pantry products! Lofty goals! Yes!  These may trickle over a couple of weeks.  And I hope to post pictures of my accomplishments in the coming weeks!

As of today, there are dishes in my sink, clutter on my counter tops, and mass chaos behind my cabinet doors!  By next Sunday, I hope to start to have a system in place and order restored to my kitchen!
