I found a new blog to follow. I falls under the same category as
www.realsimple.com only it is a blog instead of a site, so not quite as user friendly, but still full of wonderful organizing tips. It's called
I'm an Organizing Junkie and it fits me oh so well. I think what got me hooked was her post on "Makeup Storage Makeover", which was basically a picture version of my first month of life, here at Trinity. I am so proud, I think I might even take a picture of some of my favorite organizing feats, including my jewelry drawer (1), hair/makeup drawer (2) and the delightful linen closet (3)! Wow, I really am this excited :) Oh, and our new storage cabinet for the bathroom (4).

I often wonder "Was I like this before I got married? before I went to college? before I met Mike? etc" just to make sure I am staying true to who I am. The answer is generally a resounding "Yes". Sure I've grown and learned and matured (I think) but when you boil things down to personality and genetic makeup... I am a list-making, people-pleasing and over-analyzing east-coast girl. Yup. All of the above!
WHY didn't I get that gene? I think I need a Katie intervention!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! I think YOU should write a series on "confessions from an organization junkie" or something like it. I'd learn a lot I'm sure! :-)
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll admit it -- I'm a little jealous. ;) I read Real Simple and walk dreamily around the Container Store, but somehow I'm never actually able to put it into action. Well done, Katie!!
ReplyDeletei hear that! Except now that I'm married I've been mellowed. Al just yells at me when he thinks I expect too much organization, and with all his stuff, I just can't keep up! I guess you could say I'm a frustrated organizing, people pleasing, list making East Coast girl! Oh! And I'm glad you still count yourself as one of us East Coast girls ;)
