Establish a House of Order

Other than buying a van this weekend, we spent our time getting some things in the house organized. We organized and rearranged the garage by putting up some shelves and using our space there more effectively. We also got the closet organizers built and set up for the girls toys. They seem to love them!
I rearranged the food by reducing inventory in our pantry and reorganizing to the cold storage in the basement. Jason built shelves and organized all the baby, holiday and miscellaneous tubs in our storage rooms. Then we got all our paper products and cleaning supplies organized on another set of shelves in the same room.
Finally, I organized all the crafting supplies into a desk in the basement. Laura loves having everything in one place and a dedicated spot where she can go and create. I felt we could do this because we got our couches in and set up, so everything can have a real home in the basement.
It feels great to have our house in order. I can see why the Lord commands us to do so. I am much more comfortable and settled now that it is done. Hopefully, we can keep it this way.

  2. It feels so good to finally be organized and to have a place for everything. As Melinda has said to me lately, it's great to finally feel "settled" and I agree 100%.
