On Sunday, Tommy asked me if we could go to the Outlets. I nearly fell off my seat. Tommy wanted to go to the outlets!! I was shocked and agreed to go in a hurry before he changed his mind. Tommy wanted to get new shoes. Not only did he get a pair of shoes he got three pairs of shoes.
On the way out the door I ran to my junk drawer to look for some coupons for The Children's Place.
When I opened the drawer this is what I saw...
Needless to say I couldn't find the coupons so I was not going to buy anything in The Children's Place.
Yuck. I vowed to myself to take care of this drawer first thing Monday morning. I clean this drawer every other month and it ends up a mess within a few weeks!!
The kids and I hit the road and headed to the dollar store to pick up some items to help me organize the drawer.
When we came home I immediately opened the drawer and got to work.
Please don't judge us because of our messy drawer.
I took everything out of the drawer and organized everything into a category. I cleaned the inside of the drawer with some Windex. I love the smell of Windex. I know I'm weird!!!
I purchased all these containers for $3.00. The containers on the left came in a pack of three. The baskets in the middle came two in a package, the other package which is actually snack food container came with 5 containers.
My goal for the Dollar Store was to think of things that would work for us and that drawer.
Taaa Dah!!!!!
Doesn't it look so much better? There is a place for everything and everything is in it's place!!
The snack containers holds: Hair Clips for me and Ballerina, sticky tabs, plug caps, paper clips, and thumb tacks.
I used an old index card holder to corral the items listed.
Pencils have their own holder, scissors have their own holder, and now everything for our nail care is in a holder.
I feel so much better about our junk drawer. Maybe I will rename it to our household drawer.
While, we were at the Dollar Store I notice these little cuties!! I had to get them for some decorations.
Mr. Rabbit
Mrs. Rabbit holding my favorite flower a tulip!!
I also found some other items at the dollar store to make this wreath.
No, I haven't painted the front door yet. It's still too cold here!!
On another note. Today I went to make a salad and this is what I found.
Just a few pieces of lettuce. I thought to myself why didn't the last person (you know who you are) use all the lettuce. What am I really going to do with this lettuce?
It's a trend here. This person will also put back a empty bottle of ketchup and coffee mate.
I will tell you it's not me, the kids, or the dog. Have you guessed who it is?
Seriously?!?!?!?!?
Have a great day!!
