Organization

The past couple of days I have been attempting to get organized. The mail, the pantry, the closet and all the paperwork for taxes. Ugh. I love to organize, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. Especially when you throw a not-quite-two year old in to the mix. I have a wonderful blog called Want What You Have http://blog.wantingwhatyouhave.com/ that has great tips for organization and frugal living. Plus the woman is just plain funny and a good person ta boot!

I have already gone through our file box of bills, etc and bundled all of last years stuff for tax purposes. I am going to come up with a better plan for our paper work "center" to get mail taken care of more effectively and apply some the Want What You Have tips. Today is also work on the pantry day. We just shoved stuff in from moving in and you can't find anything. Plus my dear husband has paint cans stored in there. Seriously?!? Paint cans in the pantry? I don't think so. We have a three car garage to store paint cans in! Tomorrow the plan is to do some mass bulk cooking for freezer dinners. I am going to make carrot muffins, twice-baked potatoes, stuffed bell peppers, cookies,and stuffed banana peppers.

So wish me luck!
