Getting Organized For Spring




Happy Monday.
I hope that you all had a great weekend! I definitely enjoyed mine. The cold crappy New England weather has finally disappeared and SPRING IS HERE! As you can tell I'm very excited. Overall I enjoy organizing and am always looking for ways to get more organized but now that the weather will be beautiful and I will be spending more time outdoors (my toddler insists on living outside), it is even more essential that I am very organized and focused during the week so that my weekends are free. During Easter weekend I began my office re-organization by moving the furniture around and making some decorative changes which I will share on another post when everything is finished. The main reason for the change was not only so that I can stare at the window while I "worked" but because I didn't feel like the previous layout was functional and allowed me to be my best.


One issue I was having was the pileup of magazines as they came in, so I came up with the solution below. Well I saw something similar on Pinterest or somewhere and decided it would work great for me, and it has been! Now when the new magazines come in, I just put them in the magazine holder and am able to easily access them when I finally get a moment to read one. By the way there are more magazines in there since I took this picture. Sigh....
I also decided to get rid of my big bulky calendar and wanted to have one on a clipboard. I founds these cute Free Printables on ThirtyHandmadeDays I also found a cute Blog template on the same site which I am planning on trying. I've printed out a couple others, but you know how it is. Even though something is a great idea, it doesn't mean it will work for you. But I will give it a try. The website also has may other templates that are useful for everyday life budgeting, organizing, and such so I do encourage you to check it out.

Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
