One Year To An Organized Life

And Here we have it...Sound in the Angelic Choir--the Book That is really changing my life. It's Called 'One Year To An Organized Life' and it's written by Regina Leeds.

Currently, I am two months in which happens to be February but it's designed that your January can be whenever you begin the book.

I am thoroughly excited about my attitude adjustment-approaching organizing as more of something that suits me and not fitting into some 'bubble' or perfect ideal of what an organized person is. See, I'm an actress. I can get into character for a few weeks but then fall short when I actually have to 'become' the organized person.

So, one and a half months later I've accomplished the following:

First Month: Kitchen
1) My kitchen is completely organized--I mean even in cabinets!
2) My counter top is almost always clear of clutter
3) My girls and I have a three bin sorter that houses our important papers.

Second Month: Bedroom
1) I removed furniture that was taking too much space in my bedroom
2) Purged about three large trash bags full of 'stuff' that is no longer suiting us

More to Follow!

My new attitude is spilling off into other areas of my life:

1) I am planning my day and organizing my time better
2) I am no longer wanting to be the procrastinator and actually enjoy planning ahead of time
3) I am saying 'No' more often to things I don't want to do and/or don't fit in with my priorities
4) I am slowly finding more time to do the things I love and want to do
5) Attitude is at least 50% better towards Housework and Organization
6) My organized kitchen cut down my time by having to 'find' things. It's completely set up for the way I like to do things and not the way 'I think it should be.'

I am done living the way I think I should and headed toward living the way I want to.

Obviously, I highly recommend this book. I got mine on Amazon.


I'll post more updates soon!!

Organize Hair & Doll Accessories

Your Beauty Nails. So 80's Metal Band Groupie. So Fantastic!

And For the OTHER useful Household Tip!

BEHOLD! Your solution for organizing many things at a very low price! This is why Tuesdays are one of our favorite days here at Mom and The Pop Life. Every Tuesday we share awesome tips like this.

If your girls are into dolls as much as mine, you have a lot of little doll shoes, accessories and outfits all over your house.

Similarly, you can use this same solution to organize all your little girls hair accessories. These shoe organizers hang over any standard door or inside of a closet. You can hang them in your bathroom and use them to organize brushes, combs, headbands, elastics, barrettes and bobbi pins by clipping them onto one of the pockets. You can also hang one in your coat closet and organize your mittens, gloves and  sunglasses. Kids can easily access the pockets so that they can put their things away. Pockets can be labeled for those who want extra order but not necessary since the pockets are see-through. No more digging for any of these things!

American Girl sells a similar organizer and wants about $50 for theirs. You can find a shoe organizer for about $10-20 which means you can buy more of them to organize all of your little items.

Here's a link below to one sold at Amazon, however, if you are a bargain shopper, maybe you can find one less expensive?
