A bowl full of Lemons

Last week while I was pinning stuff on Pinterest I came across a blog called A Bowl Full of Lemons I absolutely LOVE everything on this blog! It's so full of great ideas and how to's for Organizing, cleaning, creating, and decorating. I just LOVE it! And it has led me to another Challenge! The 21 Day Challenge. It's an organizing challenge and I thought this was such a fun way to get yourself to actually do it! It's so simple. You take a before and after picture of your challenge for the day. The first challenge is Junk Drawer so here is my before picture...of our Junk/Tool Drawer.

Bad I know I had to force it shut and pry it open!

I dumped everything out on the counter then I cleaned out the drawer.

I used BabyGanics The Grime fighter it's an all purpose naturally non toxic household cleaner that smells like lavender :) I got it to use on Zeke's high chair and now I use it everywhere :)

One more time BEFORE...

AND AFTER....

SO MUCH NICER and it only took 5-8mins! :)

Here's the link to her blog where she cleans out her Junk drawer and guides you through it step by step! http://abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com/2011/01/day-1-getting-organized-challenge.html I Love the way she organizes! She containerizes everything! I didn't have any container's on hand today but next time I'm at the dollar store I'm gonna pick some up! I also found some great pins on pinterest on how to make your own cute storage boxes from cardboard and just cover them in fabric or gift wrap! Like these:

cute right? Sounds great to me! upcycle all those diaper boxes and put them to good use! click the picture for the tutorial!

She also has weekly challenges on her blog That I can't WAIT to do! But for now I'm only doing one challenge at a time....ok I'm doing two but you get the point I'm gonna pace myself!
