Last week I wrote that in the month of June, I wanted to reclaim our basement area. Well, this is what we tackled so far! Come on over to see my before and in-progress pictures! I chose to tackle my entry way and the area of the kitchen around the corner where everything that doesn’t have a home hangs out. Come on over to www.organizing-life.com and see my before and after pictures as well as read my tips for decluttering your own home! Summer is almost here! I wanted to share with you a few of my summer organizing tasks I noted in my planning binder to help you ease into the warm season prepared! For the month of June my goal is to reclaim our basement! We have a very nice finished basement that could be the perfect space for lounging, entertaining, or kid-play. Right now it is neglected and not organized well, okay, at all. So, do you think I can get this done in one month? I’ll keep you up-to-date on my progress weekly. A touch of accountability usually gives me a big kick-in-the-you-know-what to get going and stave off procrastination! What is your summer home organizing project? Today is a list of pointers about how to know when food stuffs and spices in the kitchen should go out with the trash. Remember though, always use your nose and your eyes and if anything looks or smells bad, it has gone bad. When in doubt, throw it out. Cosmetics have a finite shelf-life. Bacteria can grow from introducing applicators from the skin back into the container. Pigments and oils can separate and become rancid, and the consistency and quality can can diminish with time. It is better to toss that last bit of expensive lipstick than to get a skin rash from bacteria on its tip. Sounds pretty yucky right? Follow a few of the “cleaning tips” at the bottom of the list to keep your make-up items bacteria-free, fresh and beautiful! I use simple drawstring bags to keep my seasonal bed linens dust-free and organized in my linen closet. Use my how-to instructions to sew your own for about $6 each! It is Day 10 of the Spring Cleaning Party at Simple Mom, and what a party it has been. Thank you so much to my readers for making this a fabulous experience. And a thank you to Tsh at Simple Mom and Mandi at Organizing Your Way for hosting. This ends my week-long Easy Feng Shui Fixes For Your Home series. I am a plan-ahead-every-moment-of-everyday personality If I stopped to smell the roses then I’d realize that my environment impacts the way I feel and the way I act each day. Writing this series has inspired me to take a pulse more often and do some more decorating in my home to continue to create a life-giving home for my family. I hope you are inspired to do the same. |
 I am a 35 year old mom to a 4 year old son, a 3 year old daughter, a son born in May, and a wife to my life wonderful. I write in this space when my crafty inspiration strikes or when I get to pondering about how we can live more simply and better connect with the earth around us. We are a family surviving the suburbs, contending with commercialism, and getting to a greener lifestyle. Welcome! ~Abbie |
