Under the Kitchen Sink Take 2

So, I think it's safe to say that it has been almost a year since my post about cleaning under my kitchen sink. It went back to being a little out of control. But, since I am trying to go through the "A Bowl Full of Lemons" challenges, I did it again! This time it turned out better. I bought some baskets from the Dollar Tree and sorted the stuff into several groups: Daily Cleaning, Carpets & Floors, Bathroom, and Extra Stuff. I even bought a labeler from Target that I have been waiting for the perfect time to get!! My problem is now trying to keep it away from my kids! My son wants to label everything from his Star Wars collectibles to his bedroom door. As if we didn't know it was Miles' Room! I guess everybody gets the same joy from a label machine!

My next challenge that I have been working on is the "Organize Your Dresser Drawers." That has been a process! I've gone through my whole closet now getting rid of stuff, which I actually am glad to do! But, now, everything is spread all over my closet floor because I have moved to the shelves and...it's just too much!!! I've been working on it little by little and I will post when it is finally complete!!!! I can't wait!!!

Things That Make You Go Hmmmm....

I got this cute, little quote from my favorite, little shop on Main Street in Grapevine called "Beyond the Red Door." My husband and I have always said we act older than what we really are...I don't think so!

My Garden is a Growin'!

Thank goodness for all of this rain...we now have a healthy, thriving garden! Here a few pics of what we have going on at the casa de Lucero!

Lettuce

Carrots

Mint...for mojitos!

My favorite of all...cilantro!

Squash

Until next time,

21 Day Challenge - Day Tres

I think I'm getting the hang of this organization thing...that is, until it comes time to organize my closet!!!! Then, I'M OUT! Just kidding...as "they" say, "I'm in it to win it!"

Day Three challenge is to organize your Tupperware cabinet. Although, I don't have a Tupperware cabinet...I have more of a Rubbermaid/Glad/whatever is cheapest plasticware cabinet! ;)

Here's a before...



Here's after...



There you have it, folks...now, there needs to be a challenge of "Getting out the Random Yellow Stain on Your Cabinet!" I know you saw it & I know you were talking about it too!!!! :)

Later!

21 Day Challenge - Day Two

Well, I'm actually a day behind, but I have a good excuse! My power was out pretty much all day yesterday until 10 p.m. The awesome Crock-Pot dinner was ruined, my 21 Day Challenge was ruined, and I was even going to start to decoupage....just kidding about the decoupage part! ;) BUT, I did start an awesome Yoga class yesterday!! Thank you, Gina! It's called Yoga for Teachers and it was so nice and relaxing...I even fell asleep for about 10 minutes! What a difference 10 minutes of snooze time makes!

Anyway, Day Two challenge was to organize & clean up the computer desk (top only!). Most of the junk that was on there didn't belong, so I put it in the proper place. It didn't even take ten minutes to finish! That was an easy one!

Wow! It's amazing what a little Glass Plus can do for ya! ;)

21 Day Challenge - Day One

Woo Hoo! I'm soooo excited to start this 21 Day Challenge! The 21 Day Challenge is from A Bowl Full of Lemons. It can be found here I'm hoping it will get my butt in gear and get organized! Lord knows I have tried so many things, but never finish.

Day One Challenge is to organize your junk drawer. As you can see here, it needs a lot of organization!




Who knew I had so many batteries, lighters, thumbtacks, Tupperware lids, and Box Tops that I never bothered taking to school or, at least, letting the kids turn them in at their school. Come on, Stephanie, get it together!!!! Here is the drawer after some organization.




There you have it...the big reveal! Doesn't look like I got rid of much, but, believe me, I did! Can't wait for Day 2 Challenge!!

Want to join me on this Challenge?

Here I Go Again On My Own!

So, I'm going to give it another go...I haven't posted since last summer when I got the bright idea to start this blog by showing you how amazing I was at organizing underneath my sink. If I took a picture of how it looks now, you would spank me!

I have acquired a fancy camera, so maybe I will start posting some great pictures! I just haven't had the time to play around and photoshop the awesome pics I have on my camera!!! I promise I'll do a better job!!
