A mission to organize.
It seems like things mysteriously get out of their regular location during the winter months. Maybe it's laziness, I don't know....but with a street wide garage sale coming up, it's time to clean out, get rid of, and simplify!
First was the utensil drawer! This is the cleaned out picture, and sadly I removed enough utensils to fill a plastic bag...ugh!
Then the silverware drawer!
The kiddos do their homework here in the kitchen, and their "Homework" tote needed a good scrub. I threw away so many broken crayons and markers without lids and replaced them with new. We'll see how long it stays this organized. My guess is that today after school, it will be right back to "mess"!
The side of my fridge is currently command central. This is where we hang all the school papers, soccer schedules, church notes, and homework. It's a mess! Thankfully, it's on the back door side of the kitchen, so not everyone sees it. That makes me happy! This is the cleaned-up picture! 
And finally, the junk drawer! Got rid of a lot of old pens and pencils....and all those why-in-the-world-was-I-keeping-that stuff! 
Even though is still cold here, warm weather is on it's way and I want to be out enjoying it....glad to get the kitchen organized so that I can move on to the next room!
