* Top 10 Things Kids Really Want Their Parents To Do With Them
I told you yesterday that I had more bins to use, closets to conquer, under-sink darkness to overcome. Here is the other upstairs bathroom, under the sink. The previous owners already had the little shelves on the side installed, so that helped a lot. I love the plastic shoe bins from the dollar store, but when 3 or 4 are stacked on top of one another, it gets a bit ridiculous. The open bins were the perfect solution, the yellow ones are from the dollar tree.
I was so inspired when I saw how Alejandra organized under her sink! As in, I came across it at 10 p.m. while I was perusing Pinterest, was mournful that we don’t have a Container Store within driving distance and I even thought about driving out to our 24 hr Walmart right then and there to see if they had open stackable bins.
I restrained myself though, and headed out the next day and this is what I found:
- nesting bins from Walmart or Amazon and nesting bins at the Dollar Tree. As an alternative I also love these 2 tier drawers that are also slide out!
plus a shower caddy at the dollar store that I cut the bottom shelf off:
And then I cleared the nightmare under the sink out. And yes, that is a Bumpit you see stashed in the back!!
Oh dear.
I hung the cut off shower caddy on a little screw,
and everything else went into the bins. It’s sooo nice to just reach in and grab instead of digging through dark piles.
Who needs therapy?? Spend $10 and organize under your sink!
And I didn’t stop there. It’s the give a mouse a cookie syndrome, if you start there, then you go to the other sink, then the hall closet, and then….more coming!! Watch out…

This weekend was my favorite yard sale of the year. It’s a church sale they have twice a year and they have always had good stuff. The line is forever down the street by the time they open at 8:00, it’s well organized, super nice people, and pretty good prices. I found some good junk :)
Two globes, $3 each (I’m collecting them for something kind of cool!) and the bulletin board underneath for $2. I was SO excited to find the navy one.
Shawni shared this quote last year in a guest post, and I thought it was fitting for Mother’s Day.
every year, I have asked guest bloggers and friends to share their thoughts about being a Mom. To be honest, I wasn’t on the ball this year and forgot to ask. Bad Melissa. So here are some of my own thoughts about being a Mom:
* if you start collecting a dollar right when your second baby is born for every time someone tells you that you have your hands full, you will be set for retirement at age 35.
* rice and pasta sweep up so much easier the next morning when they are all dried up.
You’ve seen most of the room as we’ve slowly pieced it together, but here it is all together and we’ll go ahead and add it to the home tour!
Well hello there! I’ve kind of taken the week off unintentionally, but here I am with a little laundry closet makeover!
Here is what it looked like when we first moved in, and I could just cry over those two tiny boys in the picture that seem so big now. Apparently there was a great deal on snuggle as well! You can read the story of my new washer and dryer here.
