Tackle It Tuesday

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

Where shall I begin?

I purposefully did not post any Tackle It Tuesday's before Christmas because we are busy enough and I did not want extra stuff to do.

Okay I was just being lazy.

But now Christmas is over and I have the itch to start organizing and with that comes LOADS of paper to toss.

I worked for an hour or so the other morning (when I woke up at 4 am) and got this done.



Though there are no before pictures but let me assure you that I had no idea how much countertop was acutally there until now.  The funny thing was it was all paper, catalogs and magazines.  If I can keep up with throwing those things away when they need to be tossed this area in my kitchen should stay clean.

Anyone know  a pretty way to file?  I was thinking a nice wicker basket, cloth lined and some file folders that were not just your basic colors...or I could cover then in scrapbook paper.  If any of you have ideas please let me know.

After another cup of coffee and three out of four children rising I tackled the most hateful drawer in the house....the container drawer.



After tossing useless containers without lids and vice versa I feel like I do not have any containers left!

Just above the container drawer is our third junk drawer.  It is filled with papers, toy instructions, misc parts and coloring/activitty books.  I threw away most of it.  Do we really need to keep a filled dot to dot book?



It felt good to haul the big bag of garbage out the door.

Now wait till I get my  hands on the toy room!

What are you tackling today?
Head on over to 5 minutes for Mom and get inspired.
