Wall Collage:: Project PInterest

I'm linking up with I love You More Than Carrots for Project Pinterest this week.  Its good motivation to actually do your pins not just pin pins :)



This is something I pinned way back when I first joined interest.  We had just moved in to our home and our entry way had a ton of wall space that would be perfect for something of this sort.

Here is my rendition

I used nails but reinforced the bottom pictures with command strips and some of the fancier frames didn't have hooks so I only used command strips on those.  Its perfect for the low pictures that are in little hands' reach.  This command strips are something serious, I love them!! I think I want to add a few more small pictures to the first set with the canvas just to fill it out some but I love this wall!!

Operation Get Organized::Phase 1

I decided to start small in my mission to get this household organized.  I am essentially the House Manager and therefore I took it upon myself to get the house in order. This is step one.

I decided to start with the "desk" that is in our kitchen, it was a massive disorganized MESS.  

I was inspired by this:

So I went to the office supply store which by the way, I could go totally nuts in an office supply store, its like a kid in a candy store for me, back on track...

I picked up 

- A pack of hanging files

- a labeler

- a hanging file box

I started by labeling my files, I have

- Incoming

- Outgoing

- To Pay

- To File

- Coupons

- Manuals- for all those silly manuals for stuff that just dont have a place

- Invites- I write them in my planner then they clutter up my fridge...not any more :)

- a file for each family member

A calendar so our family can always be in the loop and not have an excuse that you don't know whats going on

I sorted through everything on that desk and from now on the mail goes straight to a file or in the shred box or trash

Now we have this

All is right in this corner of my world now 

Phase Two is my Home Management Binder

Oh, How Pinteresting!!

Today I'm linking up with Michelle at The Vintage Apple for Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday!!

This week I have for some reason felt soooo unorganized and it is really making me crazy, I like things to be in order.  Everything in its place and since L graced us with his presence, he has been our priority and the rest of the house management has fallen to the wayside.  With me going back to work soon I think I need to get things in a bit of order to make life a little smoother once I do return to work.  Therefore my pins have been focused a lot on getting the home clean and organized!
