My <a href="http://www.bonniedonahue.com/" target="_blank">new website</a> just launched!!!
<br />
<h1>
I have been planning my new site for about a year now and it is finally live.</h1>
<a href="http://www.bonniedonahue.com/"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-02 at 10.55.19 PM" class="alignnone wp-image-7289" height="388" src="http://www.bonniedonahue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-02-at-10.55.19-PM.png" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I am still working out some kinks but I am totally excited and I would love your feedback.
You might of also realized that my "blog" name has changed from House of Grace to <a href="http://www.bonniedonahue.com/">Bonnie Donahue</a> and I will explain.
When I first starting blogging, I thought it would be fun to blog and share my recipes, decorating, organizing & cleaning tips, along with family updates.
<br />
<h2>
I never thought that my little blog would turn into a part-time career. Don't get me wrong, it is still a lot of fun now but it is also a business for me.</h2>
I <a href="http://www.bonniedonahue.com/work-with-bonnie" target="_blank">partner with motivated mamas</a> that also want to earn money online with my product partner, Shaklee. Well,<strong> in the past 3 years my business has exploded...meaning a full-time income, free vacations, free car payments, bonuses, jewelry, and much more</strong> so this really got me thinking about my blog and what I do.
I loved my blog, House of Grace, but I also wanted people to connect with me.
Sometimes people thought my name was Grace (it's my daughter's name) and I really wanted to personalize my blog and what better way to do that than naming it BonnieDonahue.com.
<br />
<h2>
I have been thinking about this for a long time and it just feels right.</h2>
I will still post about the same things...cleaning, organizing, my family, recipes, etc.

I do have more new and exciting things coming your way but I will share those things later. You can <a href="http://www.bonniedonahue.com/subscribe" target="_blank">subscribe now</a> so you don't miss anything!
I will probably take this week of blogging off to do some finishing touches on the site and to enjoy my kids' spring break.

My baby is getting so big and I started feeding him some avocados and eggs. He loves the avocados and is still deciding about the egg. I have been exclusively nursing him but I am giving him real food a couple times a week to start. I also bought him this new highchair that hangs from the countertop from Target.com and love it. I had one of these with the other kids but got rid of it and needed a new one. I highly recommend one of these if you enjoy hanging out at your island.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a love/hate relationship with my master closet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When it is "organized" I love it and when it's not, I hate it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Makes sense, right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I also have been know to keep it really clean and orderly....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but then other times, I will let it explode. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Yup, true story! I can be a huge mess!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It usually gets like that when I don't have a system or I just have too much stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, my <a href="http://creatingahouseofgrace.blogspot.com/2012/08/closet-organizing-her-closet-make-over.html" target="_blank">last closet</a> was super organized!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I mean, all the time organized!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">But....my new closet is too small for all my clothes and <b>things were getting way out of control!</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Oh yes, I could not walk in there and I was too scared to go in there anyway!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided that it was time! </div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: x-large;">4 Steps to an Organized Closet</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">1. Take everything out</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By that, I mean <b>EVERYTHING!!!</b> <i>Don't leave anything in it.</i> Also, you need to vacuum your closet while it's empty. I threw everything on my bed<b> so I was forced to get it done before bedtime.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also put on so motivating music! :) :) :) I can't work without it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

2. Sort and Make Piles</div>
</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sort through everything and make piles so you can take inventory!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M9FUMcjZJas/UVJEJOpz9KI/AAAAAAAAWHE/cMEg8AJy8M4/s1600/72619_4573945665368_908810528_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M9FUMcjZJas/UVJEJOpz9KI/AAAAAAAAWHE/cMEg8AJy8M4/s640/72619_4573945665368_908810528_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">3. Donate Unwanted Clothes</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>You don't need all your clothes....get rid of them!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My goal was to get rid of half! I donated 3 garage bags and threw out 1 bag. It felt great!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was taking the 40 bags in 40 days <a href="http://www.whitehouseblackshutters.com/40-bags-in-40-days-week-4-link-party/" target="_blank">challenge</a>.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-large;">4. Put Everything Back</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Great job!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Now put everything back nice & organized!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will now have an organized closet and less laundry....<b>plus you now have a great reason to buy a few new items</b>. <i>Did you hear me?...only a few things!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to use baskets for storage because they are easy and they look great!</div>

<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">This week on my<a href="http://creatingahouseofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/01/organize-your-schedule.html" target="_blank"> Organize Now! Challenge</a>, we are organizing our refrigerators.</span></span><br />
<div style="line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I started out by taking EVERY SINGLE THING out of my fridge!!! </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even the shelves and drawers.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Then, I spayed my trusty <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=GetCleanHousehold" style="color: #7d7240; text-decoration: none;">Organic Basic H</a> (household mix) and let it sit for a while.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 24px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next, I washed all of the drawers and shelves in my new sink with <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=HomeCare&sub_cat=GetCleanHousehold" style="color: #7d7240; text-decoration: none;">Basic H</a>.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then, I put all them back were I wanted them.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">After that I went shopping and filled it up!</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That was the fun part!!!!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

This week on my Organize Now! Challenge, we are organizing our "Medicine" Cabinets.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My first thought was... what medicine? </span><br />
<br />
Honestly, I do everything naturally and I was a little nervous to share this because, once again, we are against the grain!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We seem to do a lot of things differently than most people but I will show you anyway.</span><br />
<br />
First off, I want to say that this was our decision that my husband and I made together before we had kids and luckily, we have found a great doctor that supports and encourages us.<br />
<br />
Secondly, I am not a doctor and I am not prescribing anything here. I am simply sharing what we have, use, and what works for us.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We are very serious about our health and sickness prevention. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Because of this, we have never had to put any of our kids on a prescription medication. </span><br />
(Ages of our kids are 7, 5, 4 and 8 months)<br />
<br />
<br />
This is what we use:<br />

We have not been eating meat for during Lent and I have found this healthy meal to be an easy go-to lunch or dinner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Tuna & Lettuce Wrap on a Chia Seed Tortilla</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tuna</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I have been using the tuna with olive oil so I can cut back on the mayo)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Organic Mayo</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Organic Salad</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I buy the organic herb mix)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Chia Seed Tortilla</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I buy these at Trader Joes. I also like the spinach ones.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just add some mayo to the tuna. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have found that the tuna mixed with water is a little dry and needs more mayo so I switched to the olive oil tuna and then I don't never as much mayo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes I add chopped onion, carrots, celery, or tomatoes too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, I add the tuna mix on top of the tortilla and top that with lettuce.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Roll up and ENJOY!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is delicious and easy to make!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can wrap this up take as an on-the-go lunch or pack it in your hubby's lunch!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, we had a snow-day and the kids had a BLAST!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We read books, colored, played adoption with beanie babies and of course, enjoyed the snow!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the kids came inside they wanted our traditional homemade, hot cocoa!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I make this every time they come in from outside. It's so easy and it's sugar free!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use these ingredients:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't measure anything. I usually just add everything to a saucepan and whisk it until hot.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's IT!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's easy & healthy and it tastes way better than those sugary packets. This is also way cheaper!</span></div>

I already showed you <a href="http://creatingahouseofgrace.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-i-organize-my-mail.html" style="color: #7d7240; text-decoration: none;">here</a>, how I keep a file for each child. Each day, when Grace brought home her work, I would hang them on the fridge. After that, I would save them in her file.</div>

<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Usually, I am the kind of person that has everything organized and decorated right away but this time things are going a little slower. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Why? Well it could be that I have 4 kids and a business. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">I unpacked everything and found a home for each item but I am not hanging much or buying anything new for a while.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">I will add personal touches on the walls and hooks on the wall behind the door. </span></span></div>

We actually use or garage door entryway the most.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The door on the right leads to the garage, on the left we have a small coat closet and that's where we keep a lot of our stuff. (I forgot to take a picture of the inside but you know what they look like.)</div>

The house came with some hooks on the beadboard so we use those. They are not totally my style but the work great! </div>

This picture is kind of messy but that is how it looks on most days. When the kids come home from school, they will add their jackets and backpacks too.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I think every entryway should have some sort of hooks. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I plan on added a ton more because hooks make life easier. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know my kids hate hangers and I don't want to hang their stuff up for them all the time so this system works for us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also think you should have a place for shoes. </span></div>

Today, I wanted to share a quick peek into our new "old" home! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can read our <a href="http://creatingahouseofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/01/this-post-has-been-long-overdue.html" target="_blank">whole story HERE</a>!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">These are all pictures that we took before we bought it, while looking at it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a hundred years old. (The picture below is the "original" home.)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The people that live behind us have a brick wall "fence" and we love it!! That is another one of my favorite things about this house. It is sooo private that I feel like it's my secret garden something.</div>

They have 3 children, two daughters ages 13 and 10 and a son who is 8. Each of the children participate on sport teams through out the year and are all active in mixed martial arts several times a week. Michelle has always worked full time outside of the home. With all the activities, the organization of the home has taken the hit — there are only so many hours in a day. Through the years, the clutter has become overwhelming and quite stressful. Michelle is accepting this challenge to get her home in order, have less stress in her life and enjoy her home even more than she does already!!

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Michelle McDermott Murphy</strong>: Michelle has been married for over 15 years to a very supportive husband. They have 3 children, two daughters ages 13 and 10 and a son who is 8. Each of the children participate on sport teams through out the year and are all active in mixed martial arts several times a week. Michelle has always worked full time outside of the home. With all the activities, the organization of the home has taken the hit — there are only so many hours in a day. Through the years, the clutter has become overwhelming and quite stressful. Michelle is accepting this challenge to get her home in order, have less stress in her life and enjoy her home even more than she does already!!

<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">I am taking the </span><a href="http://creatingahouseofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/01/organize-your-schedule.html" style="color: #7d7240; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Organize Now! Organizing Challenge</a><span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> with some other bloggers and this week was organizing routines!! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">I beleive it is super important to have and keep a routine! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">We have a pretty simple and flexiable rountine but it works for us. With having four kids and our season of life, it is vital that we have a scedule to works for us. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">I need it! The kids need it!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Here is a sample of some of our routines. Like I said, we are flexiable but we have one.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Merriweather; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">Morning Routine</span><br />
<br />
I wake up each morning around 6:30am and nurse Andrew. <br />
<br />
Then I make sure everyone is dressed and we head downstairs. <br />
<br />
I make everyone <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=WeightManagement&sub_cat=Shaklee180Smoothees" target="_blank">protein smoothies</a>. I usually make a chocolate and banana one with ice because that's their favorite. <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love giving them fresh fruit and protein to start the day right. I also give them <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20002" target="_blank">vitamins</a>.</span><br />
<br />

While they are drinking their smoothie, I get their lunch stuff together.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(I make it at night but I need to put everything in the lunchbox.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After that, we brush our teeth, I do Grace's hair, and then we put on our shoes and coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

We are out the door about 7:30am.</div>

Then we read, finish homework and get ready for bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After they are in bed, I clean up the kitchen, take a shower, make their lunches, check emails, and tidy up the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After that, my husband and I like to relax together and talk. It's so important for couple to make time for each other everyday! </span></div>

Pamela is excited about being a part of this challenge because she has discovered it is much more fun to sit on the sofa in pajamas while knitting custom pretty things for other people, than it is to sort stuff out. She’s taking advantage of this challenge because she knows it’s way past time to get organized.</div>

<strong>Michelle McDermott Murphy</strong>: Michelle has been married for over 15 years to a very supportive husband. They have 3 children, two daughters ages 13 and 10 and a son who is 8. Each of the children participate on sport teams through out the year and are all active in mixed martial arts several times a week. Michelle has always worked full time outside of the home. With all the activities, the organization of the home has taken the hit — there are only so many hours in a day. Through the years, the clutter has become overwhelming and quite stressful. Michelle is accepting this challenge to get her home in order, have less stress in her life and enjoy her home even more than she does already!!

I am taking the <a href="http://creatingahouseofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/01/organize-your-schedule.html" style="color: #7d7240; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Organize Now! Organizing Challenge</a> with some other bloggers and this week was organizing my closets! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I love clean & organized closets...NOW!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
I used to be (and sometimes am still) a huge hoarder!! Yes, I said it! I used to love to buy way too much! I would go to garage sales and buy things because it was only a dollar. How could I pass it up?? But then, I had a house full of stuff and that did <i>not</i> make my happy. <i>How could I enjoy what I couldn't find? </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; line-height: 24px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>My stuff would get lost and just overwhelm me. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">When we <a href="http://creatingahouseofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/01/this-post-has-been-long-overdue.html" target="_blank">moved, (twice)</a>, I really cleared the clutter and it feels amazing!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
Now, I can see and find everything. <i> (At least the stuff I unpacked already.)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
I had a lot of stuff....Probably too much!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Merriweather; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">
Right now, I have barely anything in our closets and I want to keep it that way. </div>

You will love this because we are all getting organized this time of year.<br />
<br />
Do you ever feel like life is just spinning without any rhyme or reason?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Like you are just flying by the seat of your pants? </span><br />
<br />
Do you miss appointments or prior commitments because you JUST.PLAIN.FORGET? Do you ever ask yourself...<br />
<br /><a name='more'></a><a href="http://www.michellemuckala.com/2013/01/what-does-a-calendar-look-like-again.html/title" rel="attachment wp-att-1168"><img alt="Title" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1168" height="480" src="http://www.michellemuckala.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Title-1024x768.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
I did really really well handling these issues in December.<br />
<br />
I had my calendar planned out and even color-coded. I'll be honest though-I had a small anxiety attack before I did it. Putting something in a calendar to me just makes it feel so permanent. I wasn't sure I liked that...<em>what if I don't FEEL like doing that on Thursday</em> I thought to myself. And then BINGO.<br />
<br />
There is my problem-commitment.<br />
<br />
I hate to commit!<br />
<br />
Do you feel like that?<br />
<br />
However, as I was catching up on emails today, I found myself saving emails in my inbox so everytime I would open my inbox, I would remember the dates of these events.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It occurred to me that there was such an invention called a calendar ha!</span><br />
<br />
And then I thought to myself, <em>when is the last time I actually LOOKED at my calendar? </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>Maybe I could get rid of ALL these emails if I just put these appointments and dates in my calendar...</em><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.michellemuckala.com/2013/01/what-does-a-calendar-look-like-again.html/dscn2342" rel="attachment wp-att-1169"><img alt="DSCN2342" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1169" height="480" src="http://www.michellemuckala.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/DSCN2342-1024x768.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
If you suffer from commitment issues and that prevents you from wanting to put stuff on a calendar,<br />
<br />
JUST DO IT.<br />
<br />
I promise you, it feels amazing after because finally you feel like you actually have control over your life, and you won't feel like you are spinning out in 50 different directions. Go buy a cruddy calendar if you need to just practice!<br />
<br />
I actually got a plain piece of paper, and made a one week visual that I could color code to see what I wanted it to look like.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.michellemuckala.com/2013/01/what-does-a-calendar-look-like-again.html/dscn2340" rel="attachment wp-att-1170"><img alt="DSCN2340" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1170" height="480" src="http://www.michellemuckala.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/DSCN2340-1024x768.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
I am visual-I need a month view calendar so I can see what I'm doing and then I need boxes for each day so I can have a To-do list.<br />
<br />
I haven't quite color-coded my January yet, but I have made the step to jot down important dates in my calendar. I work full-time, run a part-time business, blog, have children, a spouse, and a God that all require my undivided attention.<br />
<br />
Plus, I made the commitment in December to make God my number one priority, Spouse number two, Children/Family number three, and then everything else falls behind that. In order to stick to that, and be my little organized obsessive self, I need color coding.<br />
<br />
Even though it gave me anxiety, it really helps once it's done! Looking at my calendar you will see that Saturdays are free days.<br />
<br />
That's right-I work 40 hours a week and run a part-time business and blog, which is about 5-10 hours a week, and I still manage to take a full day of rest (some weeks I will admit are half days-but it's no less than a full half-day of rest nonetheless, and I don't let it become a common habit!), schedule family only time, AND take a date night!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.michellemuckala.com/2013/01/what-does-a-calendar-look-like-again.html/priorities" rel="attachment wp-att-1172"><img alt="priorities" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1172" height="535" src="http://www.michellemuckala.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/priorities-1024x856.jpg" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<br />
I attended an Advanced Leadership Training in December and when Dani broke down our days by hours, I was astonished by how much time I really DO have.<br />
<br />
Let's take a typical week for me and break it down. Grab a pen and paper-you can do this too!<br />
<h1>
<strong>In one week there are 168 hours.</strong></h1>
If you sleep 8 hours a night, you will spend 56 hours on sleep.<br />
<br />
You are probly smirking like I did...because who gets 8 hours of sleep a night???<br />
<br />
But just for easy sake-let's pretend we all get a wonderful, glorious 8 hours of sleep each and every night.<br />
<br />
So <strong>now we have 112 hours left of our week</strong>.<br />
<br />
If you work full time, and sometimes have overtime, let's take away 48 hours of that week.<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Now you are down to 64 hours left in your week</strong>.<br />
<br />
We all have to eat, right? Let's say you take one hour for each meal.<br />
<br />
Is that another smirk I see?? ;)<br />
<br />
There's 21 hours, <strong>leaving you with 43 hours left</strong>.<br />
<br />
There is sleep, work, and eating, which takes up the majority of most of our lives.<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Can you believe that if you sleep 8 hours a night, work 48 hours in the week, and spend a full hour for each meal during the day, you still have FORTY-THREE hours left??</strong> </span><br />
<br />
What are you doing with your time?<br />
<br />
I know, you might be thinking the same thing I did at that time. <em>I'm taking care of my kids. I'm grocery shopping. I'm not just sitting around all day Dani, geez. </em><br />
<br />
But then something really awesome happened-I finally stopped making excuses for why I have no time, for why I am always forgetting appointments, for why I didn't have time to get Christmas cards done this year.<br />
<br />
I stopped making excuses, dusted off my calendar, and got going on it!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.michellemuckala.com/2013/01/what-does-a-calendar-look-like-again.html/dscn2350" rel="attachment wp-att-1173"><img alt="DSCN2350" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1173" height="480" src="http://www.michellemuckala.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/DSCN2350-1024x768.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
One of the things I want to do this year is mail out Christmas cards, preferably before Christmas :). Yes, Christmas is MONTHS and SEASONS away.<br />
<br />
But let's be real - what happens when we don't schedule things out? Thanksgiving comes and we are too busy getting ready for Christmas that we can't fit in Christmas cards.<br />
<br />
Or else we are so STRESSED the flip out trying to squeeze in the perfect family picture, get addresses, getting the cards printed, and getting them out that we didn't get to enjoy it. Maybe you could care less about Christmas cards and you find them a waste-but follow along with me here because I'm sure there is <em>something</em> you want to get done this year that you didn't get done in 2012 because life just simply got in the way.
So I grabbed my calendar and went to December.<br />
<br />
I figured I need to have Christmas cards out by December 9th just so I'm not last minute, and so people can get them up in their home to enjoy for a couple weeks before Christmas. So on December 8th I wrote "Address and Mail Out Christmas Cards." I need cards to stuff in envelopes for December 8th, so I went two weeks before and wrote on November 24th "Order Christmas cards".<br />
<br />
Of course to order cards I need to have a picture taken and picked out.<br />
<br />
So on October 1st-I wrote "Time to start planning and picking out the Christmas Card picture."
<a href="http://www.michellemuckala.com/2013/01/what-does-a-calendar-look-like-again.html/planning" rel="attachment wp-att-1174"><img alt="Planning" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1174" height="615" src="http://www.michellemuckala.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Planning.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
BAM.<br />
<br />
I will actually get it down this year.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Is there something you want to have happen this year?</span><br />
<br />
First, picture what a calendar looks like. (Totally joking...). Grab your calendar, and pick the date you want that something to happen. Then work your way backwards like I did.<br />
<br />
Add your appointments to your calendar, write important dates in,<br />
<br />
Schedule your day off!<br />
<br />
Get time for your hubby in there.<br />
<br />
Make God your #1 appointment every day. Yes, God is on my calendar,<br />
<br />
He gets the VIP slots.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I plan on doing this for birthday presents (write down the person's birthday, and one/two weeks before schedule in to shop for them), birthday parties for the girls (set a date for invites, for shopping for supplies, and for finalizing where the party will be/what will happen), and even holiday planning!<br />
<br />
But to make sure THAT really happens, I'm scheduling a time in my calendar to get these dates set.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week, I shared how I am taking the <a href="http://creatingahouseofgrace.blogspot.com/2013/01/organize-your-schedule.html" target="_blank">Organize Now! Organizing Challenge</a> with some other bloggers and this week was organizing my kitchen cupboards! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I actually enjoyed this week's challenge because I love being in my kitchen!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was fun figuring out where everything should go. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a lot of stuff....Probably too much!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tackled a lot of it with family. <b>We had an organizing party!!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a picture my Mom and me! <span style="font-size: large;"><i>OMG... we are twins!! We are both bumming around in a grey sweatshirts and we are standing EXACTLY the same.... LOL!!! Too funny! I just noticed that now, bahahaha!!</i> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you like your Mom? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, she helped me a lot! Don't look at the half painted walls, we are still working on them, ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sisters also came to help. As you can see, things got worse before the got better but, we just cranked the music, <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=WeightManagement&sub_cat=ShakleeEnergizingTea" target="_blank">drank tea</a> and partied (I mean...organized!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Organizing is fun, right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took us a while to finish and I kept tweaking things as I used the kitchen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;">My personal tips for getting organized </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step 1: put on make-up/get ready</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always feel better when I look better and that helps me get motivated!! It is not motivating to organize when you are a mess. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step 2: Crank the tunes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love organizing to upbeat music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step 3: START!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best way to get started is to actually start! Stop thinking and start doing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here are some of <a href="http://jenniferfordberry.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer's</a> tips!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is how my kitchen looks now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will show a new, updated post as I re-arrange because I still have more to do. I need to buy a few things still and I am missing one kitchen box. We have no clue where it is. It has our steak knives, smaller plates, cups and other stuff. It's strange how we lost it but I still have some more boxes to open so it might be in one of those.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is our "fancy" cabinet where I can show off some nicer, Crate and Barrel dishes that I got from my Mother-in-Law. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't sure what to put on these little shelves so I added these cute little bowls. We actually use these a lot so it's nice to keep them handy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a peek inside...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is underneath. It is a weird angled cabinet so I put a couple of larger serving dishes for easy access. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Underneath that cabinet are these cute baskets for potatoes and onions. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next to that, I have another cabinet that I am using for my tea pot and popcorn maker....two things we use ALL THE TIME!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5uOX8bA9tlM/UPl97WCOB3I/AAAAAAAAUKs/AGOGElWVkbA/s1600/IMG_0943.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5uOX8bA9tlM/UPl97WCOB3I/AAAAAAAAUKs/AGOGElWVkbA/s640/IMG_0943.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This cabinet is under our stovetop so I just put our pots and pans in there. Do you use cast iron pans?? They are awesome and the only way to go!! I only have that other stainless steal pan in there for frying fish. (I don't want our cast iron pan to taste fishy.) Anyway, if you don't have a cast iron pan, go get one today because they are healthy and better!! I think Target sells them now.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need to organize this drawer a little better but it works for now.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a small drawer of spices. The drawer was so tiny that I had to put some of the containers upside down to open & close the drawer. I really need to figure out my "spice" situation....Oh yes, it is a situation because I have WAY TO MANY!! (I have more on the counter and the rest are shoved into the pantry. I will save that for a rainy day!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, we have my cabinet where I keep some of my most used items like, <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=WeightManagement&sub_cat=Shaklee180Smoothees" target="_blank">my protein</a>, steiva, honey, <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=Nutrition&sub_cat=ChildrensHealth" target="_blank">kids vitamins</a>, <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=WeightManagement&sub_cat=MetabolicBoost" target="_blank">booster</a>, cocoa powder (for making our own hot cocoa), chia seeds, <a href="http://donahuewellness.myshaklee.com/us/en/category.php?main_cat=WeightManagement&sub_cat=MealinaBar" target="_blank">bars</a>, baby plates & bowls, etc.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is another "fancy" open cabinet! I like that, now, I will be able to use this stuff because I will not have to go down to my basement to get the "nice" serving bowls.</div>
<br />

Pamela is excited about being a part of this challenge because she has discovered it is much more fun to sit on the sofa in pajamas while knitting custom pretty things for other people, than it is to sort stuff out. She’s taking advantage of this challenge because she knows it’s way past time to get organized.</div>

<strong>Michelle McDermott Murphy</strong>: Michelle has been married for over 15 years to a very supportive husband. They have 3 children, two daughters ages 13 and 10 and a son who is 8. Each of the children participate on sport teams through out the year and are all active in mixed martial arts several times a week. Michelle has always worked full time outside of the home. With all the activities, the organization of the home has taken the hit — there are only so many hours in a day. Through the years, the clutter has become overwhelming and quite stressful. Michelle is accepting this challenge to get her home in order, have less stress in her life and enjoy her home even more than she does already!!
