Getting organized...

Don't you all just love the feeling of being organized?!
I know I do but it's hell getting there!
I seriously think I clean out our garage every 3-4 months... You'd think we would just work to keep it clean for longer but for one reason or another we always mess it up pretty quickly.
FAIL!
I am just the queen of starting things and never finishing them. Jeff left August 5th and I knew he would be gone for 10 weeks, I thought oh great I'll use all my free time and really get stuff done around here! I started with the fridge and pantry and actually finished them both. Then I decided to clean out all of Jeff drawers and really organize them, I got as far as unloading them all and separating all the clothes into piles all over his office where they remained for a solid month!
My other projects were to clean out from under my bathroom sink and AGAIN clean out the garage! All of the stuff from under my sink ended up on top of my bathroom counter instead for longer than I care to admit... I then took over Jeff's bathroom sink instead of cleaning mine off and finishing what I started. Oops!
Well with morning sickness all fall, tons of holiday travel and little time to clean on weekends because we were never home... it just became one disaster on top of another! Now that our travel has drastically slowed down, my belly is getting bigger by the minute, my energy is slowly decreasing and we really needed to list our house to sell ...I realized its GO TIME!
Now or never!
No more putting these projects off, time to finish what I've started and get these things checked off my to do list! Jeff has been a huge help and I am so grateful for that!
We managed to get all of our suitcases unpacked, laundry caught up, about 12 loads later it was done, cleaned off my bathroom sink so I could finally get out of Jeff's bathroom area, and with help from Tate I even got the guest room and my closet organized!
I wont even show you all of the before photos because its far too embarrassing that I let it get so bad ha...

Thank goodness it is finally done!
We actually got this house on the market and I can enjoy my time with family and hopefully just maintain and relax!
Please pray our sweet lil house sells soon and brings the next owners as much happiness as it has brought to us!

8 weeks or less until we meet our little boy!
How sweet it is!

  1. It looks great! Hope it sells quickly so you can stop staging. YUCK! I'll need some tips whenever we decide to sell.
