An Organized Home

Have you ever visited A Bowl Full of Lemons?  This woman has the most beautiful organized home.  She also has some AWESOME ideas of how to organize her home and keep it clean.

She's doing a 14 week "class" between now and Christmas on organizing the home.  Every week you focus on a new area of the house to organize and clean.  The idea being that your house is nice and presentable just in time to get wrecked again over the holidays!  :)  I thought I'd take this challenge not to get prepared for the holiday season but to get prepared for the addition of a third child into our home.  When Miah arrives I will most definitely not have time for things such as organizing the coat closet.  If I get it done now, maybe it won't be so terrible come July(ish) when I go months without any homemaking.

Want to join in on the challenge?  It's really quite simply.  You can visit THIS post for a quick overview of the 14 weeks.

This week's challenge is the KITCHEN.  Cabinets, drawers, fridge, etc.  I've kept my kitchen fairly organized over the last few months thanks to my growing obsession with neatness.  But there are definitely some areas that still need work!  So I will spend this week organizing and cleaning my kitchen.  I'll be back when it's done to show you pictures.  Don't worry.  It an effort to be honest with you all, I'll show some "before" pictures too.

Here's the picture of the kitchen that I had to send off for our homestudy.  Better ones are coming, I promise.  

Side note: I'm also hoping this challenge will provide a good distraction from adoption related waiting.  :)

Feel free to join in with us on this!
