more projects, organization

some of the cookbooks I took of the other shelf in the kitchen

here is the shelf after I organized it & took off all the cookbooks & phone books, & a bunch of JUNK

I did make one of the top baskets ours, with the phone book, my address Rolodex & some other stuff, it is on the shelf basically where Taylor cant get it out next to that basket is T's bowls, plates & silver ware (the Montessori says to store childrens stuff so they can set their place a the table -Montessori has some good ideas but also some wacky ones. LOL)

on the bottom shelf is all T's snacks & baby food I have left & little special toddler meals she likes, (she usually eats what we eat but a lot of times I dont eat lunch)

the middle shelf has a basket for her bibs & wash rags, her flavored water pouches she likes, and the other basket has her sippy cups (everything Taylor uses & needs is right together) :)

When we took the Christmas down , we moved the furniture (yep Chucks idea), he likes change :)

he put this little spot light behind the tv that shines up on our favorite pictures of T- good idea Chuck

we switched the couch & the love seat to make room to move all of T's toys by the recliner it was just to crowded over by the kitchen/back door, plus you couldnt get out the back door & you could hardly get to the book case

Now its nice & open, makes the room look less cluttered

Taylors toys are where she can get to them & actually sit at the table without blocking the doorway to the kitchen or going to the sun porch.

Going to our friends surprise 50th bday party tonight, I have started donating canned goods in honor of a persons bday instead of a gift, its hard to know what to get people & usually they dont really need anything & it helps others. We need to find some younger friends though, I donate their age so I took 50 cans to the mission, its gets a little heavy lugging that many around. :)
