Outside toys are done!!!

Well I have wanted to sort out the kids outdoor toys for ages. We just had the kids stuff shoved in a corner basically and some in a cardboard box. But a few things stopped me. One- no time, Two - unsure how to do it , Three-couldn't find what I was after. So I finally sorted them out today and it only took half an hour to forty five mins to do. :) The green bin and red tub we already had. The bin was used for camping(cleaned it well since we hardly go camping anymore). And the red tub just had random items in it under the house waiting to be put away. Also the hanger we already had for stuffed toys in DS room. But got rid of a heap and didn't need it there anymore. The only thing I had to buy was the blue wheelie bin.

Blue bin - Balls
Green bin- Bats
Red tub - Random
Red Hanger- Protective Gear, Baseball gloves, toy hard hats

After

Organising one self

Well I have decided that I am going to organise myself as well as the house. What do I mean by that. I don't mean getting clothes ready the night before etc.

I mean getting HEALTHY! Organising me!

So my top 5 things to do are

1.Get fit.- Started jogging/Running 30mins a day when I'm not working. As work is like exercise.
2.Eat better. - Eating muesli for breakfast, salads for lunch and portion controll
3.Go to bed earlier(when I don't have night shifts). - No later than 10pm
4.Go to the dentist and get all my problems sorted. - Will do in the next few weeks when DH is fully better so he can do the house work
5.Have me time(so I'm mentally fit as well.)- Going to take up a sport I can do once a week at night, thinking ten pin bowling.

We deserve this, we do so much for the house/family. We are entitled to take a few hours out of the week.

So what are you doing to Organise one self? Could be so much as taking time once a week to just have a bath by yourselves so you can center to what ever you want.

Car project

Here is a sample of what I will be making for the car. This one is a trial and will post better pics later. It is just a rectangle of plastic with holes punched down the side and bottom and then ribbon threaded like a shoe lace.

My new baby

Well I have decided to buy this one from office works. They only had the silver in stock, so I purchased on the office works website and it will be delivered to the store to pick up. Can't wait to try it out :D

Decisions Decision

With all this cleaning and organising I am looking at buying a label maker. But have no idea which one to buy......

So I am going to go shopping and see what I can afford then research them then buy one! yay!

Pantry

I sorted the pantry a week ago and I'm happy to say it has basically stayed the same YAY!

One thing that helped is having everything of the same together. I have all the larger items in jars then the smaller items I have put in 10L starmaid containers.

*First one I have all my cooking things(coconut, bicarb, icing sugar etc).


*Second one I have all the school lunch items(muesli bars, rice crackers, fruit tubs for the week, as they are big I put the spares away).




*In the last one I have all recipe bases and my pasta items that don't go in my storage jars(rice paper, sushi papers, lasagna sheets)



The snack box is also handy if we have to dive out anywhere fast as we can just grab a water bottle and the box and we are ready to go.
