Getting Organized
The Org Junkie is hosting an organizing challenge this month and I was inspired. I’m not a neat freak nor am I married to one so it is really hard to keep things nice, neat, and organized in this house. One of my biggest problem areas is the kitchen/breakfast area so I decided to start there.
I was going to use this post to show you all of the before pictures and what I accomplished this week, however, I realized that that would mean putting over 50 pictures in this post. Can you imagine!! We would be sitting here ’til next Thursday waiting for those bad boys to load (unless you are blessed with an awesome internet connection which I am not).
So here are the beginning pictures for what I have done so far along with the afters. I realized that I haven’t taken or uploaded all of the after pictures. So there will be another post tomorrow with some more before and after pics.

A Kitchen to Play With
I wanted to get Princess P a play kitchen for her birthday. I picked one out and the day after Christmas got online to buy it only to find out that they were sold out. I was so bummed but 
signed up to get an email when they came back in stock. A couple of days after her birthday I got the email. Also a bummer because at that point we had already bought all of her presents giving up on the idea of getting her the kitchen. I couldn’t give up so I begged/nagged/pleaded with Big daddy until he gave in and told me we could get it anyway. He was pretty skeptical as to why a child would want to play with kitchen anyways. His biggest argument being that I don’t like to be in the kitchen. Once I had him even slightly on board I was ready to go. We ended up getting a different one, they were selling for the same price plus we found a Toys R Us in town that had it so we wouldn’t have to pay for bulk shipping. This seemed like a great idea until we got to the store and saw how huge the box was. We went back and forth on whether or not it would fit in the trunk of our car, turns out the answer was no. The Toys R Us employee was so sweet and helped us cram all the pieces in the trunk and then folded the box up for us.

Before and After
Monkey has been growing his hair out for awhile. I’m not sure why he didn’t want it cut for so long or why he suddenly decided it needed to be cut but I have a suspicion that it had something to do with his obsession… Mario
Before
That’s a pretty good ‘fro right???
After
See those red cheeks? I think he’s getting sick but won’t admit it.
