OK, I've been horrible about posting to this blog! I finally got down & dirty and got to work on some real, major organizing! I got this book called Eliminate Chaos by Laura Leist and it is FABULOUS!!! (I got the free Kindle version via Overdrive, but I think I will have to purchase a copy that I can keep since it will expire in a few days!) Laura is a professional organizer and takes us through the 10 steps of organizing. I felt like she was writing it just for me!! It has pictures, client stories, and fabulous tips to get started all the way through shopping and maintaining.
So.....I took 2 1/2 hours of my Sunday afternoon when my little guy was napping and my husband was doing some outside chores. I tackled a few areas of my kitchen. I knew if I tried to organize the entire kitchen, it would be too much to handle in that small amount of time. Here are some before/during/after pics!!
