Hello and happy Friday! I’m back for another edition of favorites today!
It was a productive week at
home! You may have seen on Instagram
that my office closet is officially cleaned out and organized and there’s oh so
much space, I love it!
My file cabinet is
officially cleaned out as well. I went
from having a HUGE three drawer cabinet that was filled to the brim to having a
small two drawer cabinet that’s only about half full and it now includes all of the user manuals we need to hang on to. The two-drawer cabinet was in Brian's office so it needed to be painted, but I knocked that out already as well! #Winning
I also cleaned out the
playroom this week, and boy was that a HUGE job. Since I knew I was going to be cleaning it
out soon I hadn’t made the kids clean it recently so, friends, it was a HOT
MESS. HOT. I managed to get everything cleaned out,
reorganized, and we now have three trash bags of toys for our yard sale this spring. The kids were all up in my grill trying to
see what I was getting rid of, so it was tough at times, but thankfully I was
able to do most of the purging while they were at school. I don’t think it would have ever worked while
they were at home.
Here it is before:
And here it is after! I still have a few little projects for this room, so it's not totally done, but it's getting there. I still have to sort that pile of junk in the middle of the floor and relabel some of the baskets. I am also debating getting rid of the play kitchen because the kids never touch it. Aaaand we still have to figure out where to put the other tent that we have. Each of the kids have one and they use them all the time so we don't need to get rid of them, but I have no clue where to put them! I'm thinking of rearranging a couple of things to make more room, but that will have to wait until after spring break!
And here's what we're getting rid of! #Amen
Anyway, that’s four rooms
mostly done – my office (even though I’m still not totally done with it… I still have
several projects to do), Jacob’s bedroom, Olivia’s bedroom, and the playroom –
and I still have the rest of the house to go!
I’ll probably start on my master closet next. That oughtta be fun!
Here it is before:
T W O – A New Show
Has anybody watched Rise
these last two weeks yet? It stars Josh
Radnor who played Ted on How I Met Your Mother and they’ve been showing
previews for it for months. Because it’s
from the producer of two of my favorite shows of all-time (Parenthood and
Friday Night Lights) I knew I’d have to give it a shot. So far it has not disappointed. I’m hoping it’s going to turn out to be
another great show!
T H R E E – Disney
Road
My girl Marie posted about some great things that you can find for your Disney trip on Amazon, and I had
to contain myself so I wouldn’t go crazy.
I did pick up this Disney themed Mad Libs for the car, though! Jacob is completely obsessed with Mad Libs
and I thought that would be something fun and hilarious for the whole family to
do in the car on the way there!
F O U R – Last-Minute Disney Top
Marie also posted about this top and I couldn’t not get it! I have two Disney themed shirts for our trip
but had been debating a third, and when I saw this one on Amazon with free
two-day shipping and a pretty decent price, I had to have it! I’ve been so good about not shopping since I
left my job, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to grab a shirt for our special
trip!
F I V E – DISNEY WORLD!
And speaking of Disney
World, the time has come and our trip is almost here! We have already arranged for house sitters
(we always like to have people stay at our house when we travel so someone can
stay with Maui and keep an eye on the house),
our bags are mostly packed, and our excitement level is through the roof! We are all so excited to go to the happiest
place on earth! You can follow along with us on Instagram stories!
Happy happy weekend and
cheers to spring break!

I am sooo excited for your trip. You guys are going to have the best time. I love the shirt that you got. So perfect. I really want to check out Rise. I love Parenthood, so I definitely need to see this one.
ReplyDeleteI love how your file cabinet looks painted! You're so good with keeping manuals and everything. We always toss them and then google if need to figure something out lol. We always have someone house sit too so Coaty isn't alone, the mail can get taken care of, and I feel better about posting on social media being away. I hope you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteI'm still loving following along with your simplifying journey! Good luck with your closet - I think growing up with little money and keeping clothes forever made my closet the hardest thing for me to do! I LOVED madlibs when I was younger! My sister and I did them for like half our flight from MD to CO many years ago!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all your organization posts sooo much! I've been trying to secretly get rid of stuff, too. Man it feels so good! Also, thanks again for the shout out! Ahhhh! You're so sweet! I can't wait to read about all your Disney adventures!!! As Jon and I say, "Disney doesn't get you, you go get Disney!" Enjoy every magical moment, girl!
