Cinderella Castle

I could literally stand here all day and look at that castle.

It was detail oriented and beautiful!

It is crazy looking at it knowing someone built every little piece.

Did you notice the Mickey Mouse heads beside the clock...Mickey Mouse is hidden everywhere!

So cool

I can not wait to go back!

Winnie the Pooh

 

Just a couple pictures I took while we were in Walt Disney World after coming out of the Small World ride. It was so low to the ground only Lyla spotted it! It was a small door in a tree.. a real tree.. so many neat things there!!

Week One: kitchen before

Remember the post I wrote a few days ago about a Home Organizatioinal Challenge...
Well if you don't ..you don't read my blog enough..
Shame on you!

Anyway..the post is here.

This week we are focusing on our kitchens. My kitchen is pretty much organized...but totally not decorated.
Here are a few pictures of my kitchen..
Which is not up to my satisfaction so please don't judge!!

I didn't clean up to take these pictures..this is my house..at the spur of the moment!

Ready:

Here is my kitchen table..the dining room chairs are in the living room because and all her princesses were watching a movie..obviously they don't feel the need to sit on our Ashley furniture..they want the dining room chairs. Anyway..you will my denim jacket..cause it was actually cool outside that day..my purse..Lyla's childrens' church paper...etc..

see didn't clean up

This wall I hate..this was one of those moments when we moved in and Gregg said..

Where is this mirror shelf going?

I said

I don't know right now

So...he put it up there..

I hate it!

But I am thinking it might be a good spto for either a chalkboard wall or a control center with a calender some hooks and maybe a bulletin board or something...

Which one you think?

side of the fridge

we are big fans of rapunzel in this house

is there really a way to organize all this junk?

pots and pans..i try not to keep a ton of these..a few were in the dishwasher..but i only keep what i need to cook with..no extras

silverware

my baking cabinet

small appliances

under the sink

ha ha

nothing but dishwasher cleaner and magic erasers

crockpot and ...no lie...the rubbermaid container that Gregg puts his fish in when he catches them until they get cleaned so HE can eat them...

if your married to an outdoorsman ..you will understand

dog bones, bubbles, medicines, vitamins, band aids, potholders and the basket is for Gregg's keys, wallet, etc.

 

containers and dishes...and lunch boxes

other side of fridge..

ok.need to clean that off..

here is our bills basket..looks junky but it works for us.

I do need a better system though

ideas?

plates and bowls

pitchers and cookie jars

cups

here is looking from my dining table through my kitchen ...

if you go through that door..and go left..you enter the living room

right takes you right out the front door

 

So

I don't think I have alot of organizing to do..

I try to keep everything in the kitchen to a necessary level

I just need decor

and a person with a decor mind...because for some reason..

i just can not think of what i want to do in here

 

I will post later picures of everything put away and cleaned up!

Sunday Worship

I needed this today!

Home Organization Challenge

I love to hop over to A Bowl Full of Lemons and see what she is organizing or cleaning from week to week.

I would love to wrap her up...ship her to my house for about a month..let her do her thing..and BAM! my house would be wonderful!

She also sells Shaklee which is a natual cleaner for your home..they have everything from cleaners..dishwasher detergent..to vitamins and shampoo..

Moving on to the challenge..I am a sucker for challenges...and I am a sucker for organizing...I am organizing my house all the time
My poor husband can never find anything..

HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS:

Home Organization 101 will continue for 14 weeks. Each Saturday, I will post a new "space" along with pictures of my finished space and share the process of how you can organize yours. You can take as long as you need, and once you are finished organizing your space, come back here to this post go back to A BOWL FULL OF LEMONS blog and link up your blog (with pictures) to share with all of us. If you do not have a blog, you can take pictures and share them on our Facebook event page (here). Questions, ask away... Our facebook event page is the best place to ask them. Have fun! Now lets get organized.

 

 

This weeks challenge is the Kitchen!

The kitchen

the dreaded kitchen

probably my most hated place to clean

I think it is my most hated place to clean because I clean it like 59 times a day

But I love my kitchen..we just had a major rennovation in our kitchen and I still don't have it decorated to my liking...or really decorated at all..

*put on my to do list: decorate kitchen*

 

The kitchen is where my family gathers...

It is where friends sit when they come over

 

So it should be the first impression of my home..

so I really need to get to work on it

 

I am feeling inspired already!

or maybe it is my happy pill that I just took

 

Anyway!

Join me and take the organizing challenge with me!

I will working on my kitchen today..and maybe putting out a few fall decorations while I'm at to slowly work our way into fall..I can not wait for the cooler weather to get here.

 

Head on over to A Bowl Full of Lemons to get the scoop and the schedule of what room we will be working on each week..

Remember you don't have to finish each room in a week..but dont' take out more than what you can do in a week..we want this to be fun..not a burden!

 

OK..off i go!
