Where to began...



(Before,during)
I had to sort through a closet that I my own fault put stuff in. I was amazed i found stuff I thought I lost, papers and 4 bags of stuff I could just throw away. I was very happy when I was done with this closet.





 (After Girls room aka pink room)



 Before (Peter's room aka green room)





 After (Delilah playing so things are out of box)

 Kitchen Window






Ok...sigh so pictures say a thousand words right? Well I think some of these pictures verify the chaos I was talking about in the first post. So where to start bottom up, the curtains I did first a while ago I have changed my living room around (later pictures to come :) ) I chose red I love the combo of red and blue together I think its rich and beautiful. 
Just within the last month or two I was feeling like I was at the end of my rope not able to find the stuff I needed and always tripping over toys (finally those are sorted...ok ok later) that I decided I need HELP!!! I was trying but, I need another eye. I have a good friend who is a professional organizer she help me push myself to realize that if I organize, and weed out stuff and zone my house I would feel much better ;) So the work began.
I started with the girls room I need storage and the only storage I had was filled with "stuff" once I got that weed out I started organizing my boxes in my bedroom... I ended up using the girls closet for baby stuff that I no longer use but have a friend that will use them soon. So my stuff ended up in Peter's bedroom.
Which organizing my room is a whole other post.
Girls Room: I went through every box in the closet, organized baby cloths in boxes and put them in the big closet. I zoned the closet where when i am putting away cloths I'm not walking across the whole room or if I'm changing Delilah I'm not walking very far to get her cloths. I used the upright dresser for both the girls cloths and the closet I hang shirts and organized those by long or short. I put the double stroller in there and all their blankets except the ones they use on their beds. I also added a dirty hamper so cloths don't end up on the floor which they do once in a while now.   I had all the living room toys in their room until I organized those. I also put in the closet with the baby items Preston shirts and ties he wears on rare occasions.
Peter Room: His room oh his room I was dragging my feet with this boys room. I open the door and just sigh I didn't even want to be in there. Which is probably why it was one of the last rooms i worked on. I cleaned out the door closet first and put my organized totes in there and than I moved his room around so I could get his big closet open. Which I made into a reading area and games are stored on top. I put all the train stuff with trains and try my best to organize the rest of his toys. Which finally happen today. He really enjoys his room he cleans it before he goes to bed which he did tonight but Delilah pulled out all the stuff animals.

I think this post is over load I better sum it up and sigh off for tonight.

Chaos = Craziness!!!

I have come to the conclusion that 3 kids is chaos in the best possible way! Though after the 3rd my ability to  multitask even more than I already was was lacking BIG TIME! My house was complete chaos, though I had try very hard before to clean and organize I still felt like I had to much way to much. With tripping over toys boxes and misc stuff it would make me and my husband in a horrible mood I think it made my kids mad. So I sat down one day  at complete end of my rope moment and thought about what I wanted what I needed to do with my house to make it a beautiful less mess and make it our home... So I called upon a wonderful friend who is a professional organizer. She help me understand zones and sorting and organizing. I am so grateful for her. Now my home is a home I can be proud of and love :)
