Sunday I was in full on project mode including a trip to Home
Depot for paint and supplies. I can
hardly wait to show you what I've been up to once I'm finished. Our house has been a complete disaster zone
and it drives me nuts so the sooner I can get things done around here the
sooner I can put our home back in order.
Monday morning this mama woke up tired! A little stiff and sore too, lol. Good thing it was a work day so I could get some
rest! I "took it easy" after
work and did some much needed cleaning upstairs along with some organizing. I was also able to put a few things away
which helped tremendously.

Wednesday I took what was left of our empty plastic bins and
totes, matched them all up with lids and then used soapy water and a magic
eraser to scrub them all up. I removed
old labels, loads of black marks as well as dirt and dust making them look
almost new again. I plan to use these to
reorganize our linen closet and some other spaces upstairs.
Thursday and Friday were much the same. I worked on my latest project and tried my
best to make some semblance of order out of my daughter's belongings so we
could move around our upstairs. I
finally gave up. I bagged and boxed it
all up and hauled it outside onto our deck.
The weather is slated to be dry for the next several days and my oldest
can figure it all out once she gets home.
I had to get that hallway cleared and re-establish access to the
bathroom. More on that later.
Don't judge me; there is much more to this story |
Saturday I was up early once again and tackling a zillion things
around the house. Mostly I cleaned,
purged, sorted, organized, put away, cleaned some more, moved stuff and did a
boatload of laundry.
I worked some overtime last week.
All scrubbed up and ready for action |
We washed out a few Ziploc bags to re-use.
We gave our kitchen scraps to the chickens and added the rest to
our compost bin in the backyard.
This little girl was my buddy last week She really made me happy, bless her heart |

How
was your thrifty week?
You really get me with these cliffhangers! I'm pretty excited to see what you've been up to. One thing for sure--I know it's going to be amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am it is! Can hardly wait to show you!!! :0)
DeleteNo judgement here. I have a tendency to make a bigger mess when I'm first working on reorganizing. But it eventually all gets put away.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your next project!
Why does it always take a huge mess to clean up a big one? LOL
DeleteNo judgement! I know you love your girls a lot so it can't be bad!! ;0)
ReplyDeleteI ran out of room! LOL
