shoe organization

i really enjoy being organized. if i have the proper containers, shelves, cabinets etc. i will organize it all and love every minute of it. 

for a little while now i had the idea of storing my shoes in clear containers so i could easily stack them and also see what they were. i had googled a few websites and the plastic shoe containers were way to pricey for my liking so i figured when i came across what i was looking for i would know what.

surprise…surprise…my mom (the best) remembered our conversation from a while back and she came across these little gems so they showed up for christmas this year and i couldn't be happier.

these are 6 quart sterilite clear storage containers. 

i wish i would have gotten a before picture with all of the different sized boxes and how not so organized they looked. i must have been too excited because i didn't even think of the before shot till after : )

here is the start of my shoe organization…i actually need more bins to finish my collection and also will get some extra to have for new shoe purchases. 

the aftermath...

ticket stub diary

my husband and i both are one of those people that are pretty sentimental. we like to hang on to movie ticket stubs, concert tickets, other events as well as love notes and cards from each other. i was so excited to stumble across this i am ordering it.

. what a great gift idea for an anniversary or christmas. add 2 tickets to a concert occurring in the near future you know your special someone would like and it makes such a great gift and one that will last a lifetime. 

the ticket stub diary  would be a great way to showcase your memories and be able to turn the pages of time each time you open it.

plus it keeps things neat, in one place and that equals organized!!

modular mate kitchen organization

lets just say i have similar characteristics as my wonderful mom! i enjoy being organized! my cupboards aren't completely finished but i have a great start on complete organization! i am addicted to modular mates...no more open bags,  pasta boxes, or cereal boxes. and if i could photograph my lack of cupboard space you would understand why the need to be organized is a must! all of my baking goods, cereals, pastas and snacks are all in these neat fresh keeping modular mates by tupperware!! take a look below. they come in Passion (red) or black seals! they come in different shapes and sizes to fit your needs...they have been a lifesaver.
