Organizing - Its that time of year!

Organizing...What projects I've started and some goals.






I started with reorganizing my tool box and trying to utilize the space as best as possible.

Im so ashamed of how unorganized our hutch drawers had gotten😩.


I picked up these baskets at Walmart - they were a $1 for a set of two.


Hutch drawers after. Not perfect but much more organized! 

A few of the spaces I'd like to find a better solution for organization this year.

I started on the locker but its not where I'd like it to be yet.

Our pantries not terrible but it could use a little update.
We buy water by the case from Costco and I'd like to find a way to rework the space so they can actually sit in the pantry and not in front of it.


Real life photos here people...😂 It's not pretty! 

The start of the purging...


Our office is the biggest space that needs a change up and more organization. - That will all come along with some updates we're going to do to this room as well.

I'm trying to decide if I want a new piece of furniture here or maybe update this one, the shelf fits perfectly in here and all of the books on the bottom I borrowed from my dad so once I get through those there is room for more. 

I love this 31 wall organizer and I'd love to find a way to utilize it in 2019.

One space that is as organized as it will get with all of our games! 
I need to replace the shelf in the upper half of the hutch so I can utilize that more for decorative dishes.



And paper organization is a big challenge I'm taking on this year! I'm trying to get through at least 1-2 magazines a day.


I'm sure you've all already heard of the Marie kondo method on Netflix - I haven't watched it yet but I've had enough bloggers I follow post about it, I don't think I need too!😂
I followed the directions on folding jeans and it is so great! I love being able to see all of the jeans and I'm able to fit more.


I finally decided to go through my jewelry box - Purge and re organize! I need to come up with a good system to hang my necklaces but this is definitely better than it was. My grandpa built this jewelry box for me the nI was little and Joe gave me the one on the right as a gift a few years ago so I I know even after I find hanging storage I'll still use these. 
I can at least see everything now.

Not amazing, BUT since we've moved into this house I've been storing all of the bread/chip items on the top of the fridge and its been driving me nuts...so I took over the snack cabinet and it all fits great in here.

Another drawer I decided to tackle...I've barely been fitting all of the towels in this drawer - This is so much nicer! 



A few others on the list...

Utilizing our under bed storage as best as possible.

I have two cedar chest in the living room - one of them will probably need to be moved elsewhere when we get a new couch so I need to figure out a space to store all the blankets that are in it...I'll be purging a few and finding a way to store them - I'm thinking a blanket ladder like the ones we made my mom and grandma for Christmas.

Re working the side table storage in the living room.

Purging what I can in the kitchen and making sure I'm utilizing the space as best as possible.

Purging clothes, shoes, makeup, and skincare I no longer use or need.

Cleaning up the basement so we can organize all of our holiday totes nice and neatly. 

Our garage...boy thats going to be a BIG project of 2019! We need to throw ALOT of things away...
and get it cleaned up and functioning properly.

I've even been pinning ways to keep my car organized.

And I'm sure I'll find other things along the way to get rid of and organize😂.

What are some organizing projects you want to tackle in 2019?
Let me know in the comments!

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first! This is a little generic and certainly not all about peanut butter but my favorite is definitely  Chocolate Nobake Cookies (with peanut butter of course).

Homemade Taco Seasoning

The other day I whipped up another batch of homemade taco seasoning that I’ve been making for years so I thought I would share it with you. It’s super easy, last a long time, and doesn’t have any of the icky preservatives, etc. Here’s the ingredients, 1/2 cup chili powder 3 Tablespoons cumin 1 Tablespoon salt 1 Tablespoon finely ground pepper 1 Tablespoon paprika 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoons dried oregano Mix it all together and you’re good to go! To use, brown 1lb. hamburger,  then add 2 Tablespoons of the taco seasoning mix plus 1/3 cup water and simmer until liquid has thickened, about 1-2 minutes. I hope you enjoy!

Instant Pot Spaghetti

Instant Pot Spaghetti  Start by turning your instant pot to the sauté function, adding some olive oil and then once the screen says HOT add your hamburger and brown.  All of the spices I used. Once the hamburger is browned Turn the instant pot off. Once I turned the instant pot off I added the noodles, crisscrossing the noodles so they don't clump. Next I added the spaghetti sauce, water, and spices.  Then set the instant pot to manual for 10 minutes and did natural release. And finished product!  I turned the instant pot off, put the lid back on and let it cool a little once I mixed everything together. I used this for freezer meals. I was able to get 7 1 1/2 cup servings. I let these cool and then put them in the fridge and waited to put them in the freezer until the next day so it was completely cooled. Ingredients: Olive Oil 1 lb hamburger 2 jars pasta sauce 1 16oz box angel hair noodles 1 cup + 1 jar of Wa
