    Red face I spent almost all day organizing *just my kitchen!

    Yesterday I was full of energy and decided to deep clean the whole house, starting with the kitchen...

    Well I never left the kitchen!
    I reorganized my canned goods...sorted the beans by type for example...moved around almost all the contents of every cupboard...cleaned the stove burners...washed the top of the fridge/reorganized the cereal boxes and so on...

    I even made eggrolls and chocolate heart shaped boxes..one i filled with little yellow chocolate hearts and dark chocolate shavings for sprinkles...and the other one I filled with chocolate covered cherries I also made I left dh a cute little note and a kiss with lots of lipstick on it...

    Gee I wonder what I'll get done when I try to clean my bathroom today

    Wow, Heather! I wish I had your energy! I bought tons of canned veggies today at ShopRite and they are sitting on the pantry floor in the bag I brought them home in! Good for you!

    Well, I have not done too much but that actually was my plan for today. I went to Walmart and bought a couple of chunky chili pepper stamps and stamped a few tiles in my kitchen. Other than that I am just muttering, just what I want to do...be unproductive for once and loving it!

    That's awesome Heather! I did the playroom last weekend and felt so great afterwards. I bet you are feeling nice and organized too.

    You're inspiring me to do my cabinets. I have canned goods in all different places right now. My cabinet that holds my pots and pans is all upside down too. In fact, I couldn't even find my casserole lid last night.

    WTG Heather, what an inspiration.

    You've inspired me to do my cupboard that has spices. I can't find anything in there.

    WTG Heather. I did my cupboards today because I wanted to know exactly what was in there before I made out my shopping list. Sure makes everything looks nice.

    Oh wow! Cool to see that I was an inspiration

    I wanted to do a lot more today, but I only got 2 bags of toys decluttered, vacuumed out under my daughters crib (found lots of old food even!) Hung a new picture and rehung one in a new spot, made room for the jogging stroller so it's out of the middle of the room...

    But her room is still a little messy, the living room is trashed so is the bathroom...but at least my kitchen is still sparkling

    Good for you Heather! Doesn't it feel great to have at least one room that is organized?

    I've got a ton of laundry you could put away if you're looking for something to do!
