52 weeks of organizing week 16 clean out a drawer

OK this weeks post is about cleaning out Drawers. I have a ton of drawers that need organization, so i picked out 3 that really needed worked on. The first drawer is our school stuff command center area. I used the process steps and bought some containers at the dollar store as you will see in my after pic. Great price 3 for a dollar and still have one left over for a later project.

After :)

The only items i kept in this drawer are the items we use for school daily. 1 container for pens. 1 container for pencils and erasers. My trusty 3 hole punch. The stapler and calculator with its instruction manual.

Next I have this silverware drawer that has always been a mess. I already had containers in there so I mainly took everything out and started from scratch. Threw away or donated anything that we did not use and moved some items to a better place.

Before what a mess!!!

After

Now this is SO much better I can actually see what I have. I got rid of duplicates and kept the best ones out of the bunch. I don't ever really buy from pampered chef, but a friend of mine started selling it and I just love their measuring devices SO convenient and great for organization. I just had to have them

Before Misc. utensil drawer.

After. Look I can see what I have :)

I got the plastic bins at target about a year ago and never got around to using them thank you Organizing Junkie and all the ladies who share their blogs to bring this momma on a mission lots and lots of motivation.

This momma's mission

I have been thinking about what God has called me to be. I am still discovering things everyday about myself and what I believe God is showing me that He has called me to do. I have not pin pointed the exact area yet, but I know I'm getting close. I am a wife to my wonderful husband of 8 years and we have been blessed with two fantastic children Weston (5) and Kelsey (4). I recently left my job to become a stay at home mom and I am taking some college classes, so that I can help my husband with our Pest Control company. These past few months have been an adventure and I realize how much I missed my family while I worked. God has provided for us in so many ways and I will forever be thankful.

I have been extremely busy, yet I haven't really gotten anything accomplishes. I have been playing catch-up on our home. I always thought I was a pretty organized person, but my systems are all wrong now that I am home more often. It seems that there is not enough time in the day to get everything accomplished that I thought I could. I realize I am putting too much pressure on myself to be the best housewife and mommy I can be, so I am now a momma on a mission to find the best plan for our family. My mission is to become the woman God has called me to be as a wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, friend, and of course a child of our most high God. I want to be a great example to my children and teach them in the way they should go, so they will not depart from it. Please pray for me as I continue this journey that I let Jesus take the lead and I will follow Him and His ways always. In Jesus name amen.
