Spring Cleaning Post #2

Ready for a spring cleaning update?  Well, I have continued with the spring cleaning, but I was sick for a while, so I was unmotivated for a little bit.  And, it wasn't a kind of sickness where I was using it as an excuse...I had a fever for a few days, and flu-like symptoms...a lot of achy feelings and headaches, except it wasn't the flu.  Anyway, I am better now, but there were several days where nothing was cleaned or organized.  When I began feeling better, I began cleaning and organizing once again.  Like I mentioned in my last post, cleaning on top of the daily cleaning is difficult.  Here are some scenes around my house on a daily basis:
 
June and Annie hanging out with Diego and Wendy Waters.

The Clemson Barbie crusin' in her pick corvette with Wendy Waters.  (Wendy is quite popular.)  They just ran over a spoon.

Babies resting on Boppy pillows.  (Mercy takes good care of  her babies.)

The small random dinosaur here and there.

a Clemson helmet (next to a pink shoe...which should be in the bench)

Dinosaurs...yes, they are in the bucket!

Now we have sporting equipment around.
And, lastly...you name it all over the floor.
So my first step to organization began with this: 
I cleaned all sorts of old papers and stuff and threw some items away.
 I bought this:
to shred up old bills and stuff that were in the dresser.
 Next, I cleaned off our counter tops.  Sorry for the lack of a before picture.  But, it does look much better.  Some of the important stuff that used to be on the counter tops I moved to the dresser (from above).  Also, I found the paper organizer that I bought a couple years ago, which you can see in the picture.

Alright, as embarrassing a this may be...here is a before picture of our Baker's rack!  I know it's bad!  hahaha!

 And, after!  I even wiped down the wall all around the trash clean.  It looks so much better, and really, our whole kitchen does!

Stay tuned for more spring cleaning updates!
