M.S.E…. Day Two

Day Two arrived for my experiment, and on the menu was Ranch Chicken.  This is one of my oldest recipes!  I got a great Betty Crocker cookbook as a wedding present from my fellow teacher and roommate.  It was all about the basics and had step by step instructions for lots of things.  I guess…

M.S.E.… Day One!

Day One of the “Martha Stewart Experiment” was Turkey & Cheese Cups. One of the best things about the Experiment on Day One was the lack of the foreboding feeling normally hanging over my head throughout the day that I need to start dinner {all coordinated around Davis’s schedule of course} or worse… figure out…

The Martha Stewart Experiment

The title is really a misnomer, since Martha probably wouldn’t ever do this.  It would be SO beneath her culinary skills, I’m sure. But in my mind, if this experiment succeeds, I’m one step closer to being Martha-like. I am not a cook.  I do not claim in any way to be one,  just for…

The Organizing Finale…

The grand finale of all this organizing madness is the Master Closet.  For the age and size of our house, I am very thankful for the size closet we have!  When we renovated, Chris combined the closet space from both bedrooms to make ours and designed the space with a closet organizer.  Here’s the closet…

It’s not over till the…

  Well… you know.  It’s not politically correct to finish that sentence, is it? The organizing challenge at A Bowl Full of Lemons has come to an end!  Let’s review, shall we? Here’s all the challenges and the ones I did and didn’t accomplish… Day 1 – Junk Drawer Day 2 – Computer Desk  {A…

Clutter Confessions {Medicine Stash}

We actually just went through and cleaned out our medicine stash not too long ago and even made up nifty labels to help us keep things organized. You would think that it wouldn’t even be in need of a redo so soon, but alas… it has fallen from its organized state. The problem is that…

Clutter Confessions {bathroom storage spaces}

   You would think I’m completely organized by now, right?  Apparently, I’m not.  Next up on the agenda was the bathroom.  Our bathroom is small, but we find a way to utilize lots of storage in here, which means lots of potential for cleaning out.  We have a great medicine cabinet type mirror that Chris…

Clutter Confessions {Freezer}

This challenge wasn’t too bad actually, except for the fact that you need to work quickly while all your frozen food is thawing out.  I had the extra bonus that I was working against the “Davis Clock” as well.  I knew he could wake up from his nap at any moment, and this wasn’t a…

Clutter Confessions {laundry room}

I hope you are not getting sick of seeing all my clutter.  I also hope that you aren’t judging me by my messes I’m sharing with the world.  :)  I am more than my messes. When we renovated our house we actually built this little laundry room which is really more like a laundry closet….

The Toy Story…

The Challenge continues, and this was one that you knew was going to be coming.  Ugh.  How is it that the toys literally seem to multiply?  On. their. own. This is a frustration for me since we do not have much storage space, and we most definitely don’t have a designated playroom for the toys. …
