Ssssh.

Come closer.

Closer.

Ok, maybe not that close.

I want you to listen to something.  We are going to tip toe into the girls room.  The door is going veeeeeeeery quietly open.

Now.

Do you HEAR that?

That hilarious little snort/whistle/growl?

That would be Turtle and Frog snoring. SNORING!

Now.

We are going to cloooooose the door and tip toe to the other bedroom.

Veeeeeeeery quietly (although, we could just slam the door open and gasp) we are going to open the door and listen.

Here that?

MORE SNORING! Now. To be perfectly honest, I snore as well.  I wake myself up when I snore.  So I know I do it.

These three? "I don't snore hun/mawm!"

The point to this whole post?  Today I dusted and vacuumed to cut down on the snoring.

Buh-bye dust mites! See you next week!

Tackle It Tuesday - Nothing But (under) the Bathroom Sink



Yesterday, I just couldn't take it anymore.  The unlabelled baskets, pulling multiple baskets out to get the one that was at the back of the cupboard.

Under my bathroom sink was a bit nasty cluttery mess!  So I tackled it.  I even yanked out the particle board 'shelf' that was shedding paper and board filling all over the cupboard.  Now it's sitting in the bathroom leaning against the wall. I need SOMETHING for AP Wednesday!


So here it is, in all it's newly organized still unlabelled glory!

Doors of Doom (I totally would never choose that hardware) 
Ahhhh. Organized Bliss.
What's that? You want to see INSIDE the drawers?  Well, if I must.

Turtle & Frog's hair stuff drawer.

Mommy's hair stuff drawer.
The only thing that's in the bottom drawer at the moment is my stockpile of orangewood cuticle sticks. Yes. I live an exciting life!  Full of nail care accessories.

I'm linking up at 5 Minutes for Mom.

For Fridge's Sake

If the kitchen is the heart of the home, mine needs a pacemaker. With a toddler, a 2nd grader and a husband who works evenings, more often than not, my poor kitchen is a wasteland of recycling, dirty dishes and a trail of toys.

The worst offender in the kitchen is the stove with the fridge a close second. Spills, unlined crisper drawers, it can get a bit gross in there! Friday is the day I set aside to tackle my kitchen, then Hubs doesn't need to spend all weekend restoring it. This week I really need to give the fridge a detail cleaning as well as organize what we have in the freezer.

So! While I scour, scrub and snarl here's some links for you.

Tanna also cleaned her fridge this week.

Laura has this guest post from August of last year on organizing your fridge/freezer.

I'm making this to display our menu each week. Hubs and Turtle are ALWAYS asking 'what's for dinner?'. With this, I just need to point to the board.

Here's a few pantry and freezer inventory printables for you.

Little Birdhouse has a really cute Chillin' In the Freezer one.
About.com's is cute as well.
If you're using Organized Home to make a home management binder, here's their freezer printable.

Do any of you use freezer inventories? Or can you remember what you have in there all by your lonesome?
