As Promised

Okay, as promised here are the disturbing photos.....

Doesn't look to bad does it? This area ALWAYS piles up.

Here's the actual closet where I keep this year's curriculum. Stuff I really don't want touched goes on the upper shelves.

Here's some books......... Sorry about the pictures, I did it quick and it was painful!

And here's 1 cabinets worth of books out in the living room....... Believe me it looks even worse in real life :0

So here's the plan:

1. Wednesday- haul out all books and go through them. (give, keep, throw or craft away)

2. Thursday- clean out all curriculum. (sell, give, keep)

3. Friday- IKEA Day! We've never been so it should be fun! ( at least for Grammy and me)

Finalize room changes with Superman. Maybe even get some things moved around. (i have a plan drawn up on paper- we may need to make 1 shelf and a make shift work station)

4. Saturday and Monday- re categorize everything and put into place.

So that's it. I like the wall color so that stays. It could use some touch up, but I think I'll let it slide. There's to many other things that need more attention. I still have 1 child finishing up a course or two so I really can't close everything out. I think I'll pop all of this past years work into a big basket or 2 and save to another week.

The plan I have drawn will give us a bit more usable space, but I don't know if it will be as pleasing to the eye. This room has really never been that way for more than a day.

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly thought of! I loved to hear from you ;)

Oh yes, books. I love them but goodness they do pile up. We put 50 feet of shelving in our schoolroom and they're packed on there. Goodness. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

i think everyone has a room where it just never stays clean. our office is like that. you can clean it and then it just seems to be the catch all. and it's not big. it drives me crazy. i've tried baskets, files, matching boxes etc. . the rest of the house is good. just this one room drives me crazy! so don't feel alone :)

we adopted a hen from a friend of ours. she has fit in so well with the others. i was worried but she's doing great! she's a RI red. so she looks like the outcast with our black hens! lol

My schoolroom/study looks much worse right now. :(

I've been to the new IKEA twice now...and it put sooo many ideas into my head about ways to organize this mess! Now, if only I had the money to back up those ideas! LOL

My suggestion for IKEA - take a camera so you can take pictures of any ideas you'd like to implement. That's what I plan to do next time.

(BTW, I'm not a cyber-stalker; just a Christian mom. I finally clicked on the "Top Land o Lakes blogs" in my Feedjit and found you.)

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Frugal Friday

Time again to remember creativity and frugality! I really enjoy www.biblicalwomanhood.com where today it is Frugal Friday. Two needs we had were new nighties and bicycle baskets. We've been riding like crazy and I was tired of old t-shirts for jammies. It's hard and expensive to find nice, cute nighties for 5 different age groups! So we headed to a local thrift shop and bought sheets. Now if this thought grosses you out, just think "Vintage"! Everything was washed and dried in the dryer. Each sheet cost about $3.00. I was able to get 3 nighties in children sizes out of one and 2 in adult sizes out of another. I wish I could show more pics, but thought it was best not to of my older chicks. Needles to say they have become every one's favorites and today I need to make more! The cost of each nightie was about $1.50! I figured in my pattern and lace I also found. Isn't she a cutie! I'm not sure how to turn this but I also made house coats for each girl. This ...
