Getting Organized

I will admit that I am not the most organized person in the world, but since having kids (and all the clutter that comes with them) I am needing to become better at this! So this year I am going to try to work on one section of the house at a time and get organized! Right now I am working on the laundry/mud room and am quite pleased with the progress . . .

The top shelf used to be a mish mash of gloves, hats, ect. Now each boy has a bin with their initial on it and it is so much easier just to pull down whoevers bin I need and not have to go searching for a missing glove! Also each family member has a rack for their shoes which is great so Griff knows that his shoes are all on the bottom rack. I've found that being more organized has been a real time saver and I'm excited to keep on going!

We have also started a chore chart for the boys. It has been really good so far and seems to help make chores a little bit more fun! Don't worry I'm only giving them a few simple things to do each day and then every two weeks they have a pay day (on daddy's pay day) where they earn a dollar if they've done their chores nicely over the past two weeks. Then they can choose what they want to do with their money (Mason already has big plans for the dollar store!)
