Hi friends!  How’s your week going so far?  This first week after the long winter break has been pretty good!  I’m sure you could guess that I like getting back into the schedule and routine.  Which probably won’t surprise you that I also like to keep things super organized in my home.  If you caught my holiday storage post, you saw a bit of that.

Today, I’m pumped to show you my pantry in all her glory!  I’m thankful to have a large walk-in pantry that also doubles as decor storage.  About two years ago,

Happy Monday friends! How was your weekend?  I feel like it’s been busy, busy lately but all good things like birthdays and sports and fun things for the blog!  You guys might laugh at me, but one thing I did on my birthday was organize my pantry! What can I say?!  I just finally couldn’t take the mess anymore! Our pantry serves double duty as dry food storage, entertaining and decor items, and it’s where all the cardboard boxes and recycling lives before it makes its way to the bins outside. After the holidays and a few parties, it was overflowing and it’s been a couple years since it got a major clean out!

Hi friends!  Back from a rather uneventful weekend, but those are necessary once in awhile, right?! On Saturday, while my husband was out and James was at a friend’s house, I took Jordan to the pool, just the two of us, and we had the best time!  She is definitely a water baby and loves the freedom to splish splash to her heart’s content in the pool.  At home, she’s always hearing, “nooooooo” when she’s splashing the bathwater all over the place.

The girl has no fear and especially loves the pool sprinklers that splash right up into her face!  It’s so fun to watch her get such a kick out of that! Once you have more than one kid, it’s harder to make sure you get one-on-one time with each, so this was a great time for us.

I just got that new swimsuit and it’s darling (especially flattering in the back, but on the sexier side) and the colors are gorgeously vibrant.

Back at home, one giant chore that’s been nagging at me was cleaning out and organizing Jordan’s closet and I finally got it all finished!  Those organizing chores bring so much satisfaction when they’re done!  I told my husband, “go look at Jordan’s closet” because I wanted to show it off, but I don’t think he understood the goodness of it- so thankfully, I have you!

Babies grow so fast,  so all those too small clothes had been piling up, and many were still on hangers, so I always had to avoid those when choosing her clothes each day.  We’ve been generously gifted many awesome hand-me-downs that were too big at the time, but I had a suspicion that there were lots in there she could wear now or soon, so I needed to go through those too!

After we were done, we had a nice and neat, clean closet with everything easily identifiable by size!
