I am skipping week 3 for now b/c I still have a few pictures that I need to print off and I ran out of time. But, week 4 is ready so I’ll post that this week and then go back and get week 3 next week. YAY for being flexible, b/c usually I would have stressed myself out to get those pics printed off, into the spread, photographed, etc. But by letting go of that self imposed pressure, I feel so much better.
CONFESSION: This week came together so much easier than previous weeks. I think that might be b/c I didn’t have to put a lot of thought into it, and there were no people I had to coordinate photographing. It was all just things. I just picked up my camera one night and walked around and got all the pics I needed.
I have noticed that on a few of the subject matters, I have taken pics of my phone. I was going to try and photograph something else but then I realized that it’s OK to have more than 1 pic of my phone. It’s an integral part of my life b/c it’s used on a daily basis. So, that’s only natural that it would appear frequently in my PRL spreads. I know that seems silly, but it was a real breakthrough/AHA moment for me.
Super Organized ~ I am a jewelry junkie & have so much that I had to find a way to keep things organized. I got these earring holders at Sam Moon’s. I like knowing where things are when I need them. Plus, this helps me not go overboard on jewelry purchases b/c if I don’t have room for a new pair of earrings, I have to get rid of an old pair. That helps me to only get new earrings if I really, really, really like them.
Technology ~ My most vital items that help me stay organized are my phone & computer. It is essential for me to have all of my pictures organized. I put them in monthly folders & name them by year first & then month (2012 11 for example). That way they stay in chronological order.
Pick A Closet ~ This is the closet in my master bedroom & I LOVE it! It’s huge and since ‘m single I can use as much room as I want b/c I don’t have to share. I have a dresser, shoe tree & lots of built in cabinets for storage. I just noticed while looking at this pic that I’m not even utilizing the space on the shelves above the clothes. YAY for big closets!
Laundry System ~ We don’t really have a set laundry system b/c I just wash clothes whenever we need to. But, we do keep our dirty clothes in laundry baskets in our closets (this is a pic of Autumn’s closet) since we usually undress in our rooms to put on pajamas each night. It works for us.
Media Storage ~ I used to be so anal about having all my videos/DVD’s in alphabetical order. But, I’ve relaxed on that b/c Autumn used to pull them off the shelves all the time as a little kid and it wasn’t worth the daily battle. Now they’re all mixed together on this bookshelf in the guest bedroom.
Food ~ Since we eat dinner at Mom & Dad’s almost every night, we don’t have a lot of food at our house. But, I do organize my shopping list on my phone b/c I always have that w/ me. It’s easy to add & delete things on my list right on my phone instead of trying to keep track of a piece of paper w/ a list on it.
