All my life I dreamed of living 'well organized'...in everything. Since having kids, that felt like close to impossible.
Discovering Pinterest and falling into it's addictive trap did me a whole lot of good. It inspired me to pursue that dream...(and tapped into my many other passions too ;)
My 'OC Tendencies' is what I fondly call it.. I previously deny it but now embrace it as it seems to drive me to my much dreamed life of labelled boxes and everything in their places.
Come to think of it, what perfect timing. As early as now I can instil this into my girls. Bea has been showing signs. :) I love that my kids are quite good at cleaning up specially when they know it will end up in the garbage if they don't put them in the toy boxes/laundry box. hehehe.Well they are girls and they should be neat with their things.
Anyway, the past weeks I have been on a cleaning and organizing spree..."cleaning and sorting everything I touch", I kept catching myself say to people in the house.
Of course, all these are only when I can spare some time and there is someone to look after the kids while I rush to complete a particular section. Today was one of those days. I felt super relieved and fulfilled after clearing and sorting the entry way cabinet. Now it houses all my girls' and my footwear plus labelled Artsand crafts box and folder, homeschooling tools, and christmas decor to name a few. I finally organized our utility cabinet with all toolbox + accessories, packing tapes, stationeries, gift wrapping tools, tea lights and room freshener accessories. Finally, a place where everything is easily accessible and properly placed. Hurray!
I am ecstatic that I am getting closer and closer to my 'organized' dream.
Just a couple of cabinets to go!
