Fridge Facelift

As the school year goes on, our family get busier and I tend to throw things of the fridge that are important and need to be in handy spot. Since the new semester is starting I decided to clam the craziness and give us a fresh start.!

 

Sorry this pic is so blurry didn’t have my settings right apparently. I think you get the idea of the craziness! Outdated calendars, literary for an upcoming trip, Thanksgiving (blush) papers, crazy ABCs, black schedules, etc.

 

Started by clearing off the entire fridge.

Better but still pretty dirty. Yuck!

All clean and prettified. Added cute monogram, names above the pictures a magnetic clip under each kiddo and one for me and the hubby, and filled out the schedule.

Ahhhh Much better!

Day #1 Challenge (Organizing the "junk" drawer) with A Bowl Full of Lemons

I just somehow knew Miss Toni would get to the junk drawer. Can’t believe it was first –Blah! Just Kidding! I just have way too much craziness.  In my kitchen I have three, that’s right people count them three junk drawers of craziness.   I could make excuses about how busy I am but the honest fact is that I have been lazy.  I want to do crafts, decorate, go to lunch with friend and anything but face my Chaos. Thank you for this Challenge!  Now on to organizing the craziness. Ignore the  yucky green color of the  drawers and cabinets. It is what I’m living with till we have time to get to the kitchen.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Exhibit C

Threw away about 30% of the 3 drawers.

Nice Organizing NON craziness! 1 Drawer from 3.

Labels

(I have decided it makes the crazies in my family put things in their homes if they are labeled)

Amazing what you can find when you clean! 

Score I found my coffee shop gift card I’ve looked for about 3 months!

***Bonus**

Empty Drawers 

More Bins to use in Future Challenges. 

And proof that I did at one point and time have some organization going on.

Now me and this beauty have a date.  This is all the junk that actually has a home elsewhere.  I was just to busy er lazy to put it up.

 See you for the next challenge!
