Spent almost all day organizing the home office / playroom.
Including an hour devoted solely to figuring out how to print unprintable labels, but Excel came through for me.
Stacks of paper all over the floor (and a peek at my current desk chair … yoga ball)
Totally worth it …
Then, I tackled Emma’s toys, but since she can’t read, I had to come up with a better way to let her know what goes in each box.
She has given away BAGS of toys lately, so we’re left with mostly little collections, which makes organization pretty easy.

Even your pictures of organizing are beautiful! You are inspiring me to get to work on those bags of toys we need to give away. That last picture is precious – I would love for my girls to have shelves that organized to gaze at. Will you come nest at my house? :)

Sure thing!! I think all pregnant women should hire themselves out through the 3rd trimester! ;)
I so seriously wish I had energy to do this… I want to nest too!

Wow, great job, Keli! I especially love the pictures of the toys on the front of the storage boxes. Great idea! You’ve totally inspired me to get back to my unpacking. Hopefully at some point in the next few weeks, I’ll get around to actually organizing the things I’ve unpacked. :)

Nell from Casual Friday every Day sent me your way :)
I love your organization. Those little boxes are such a good idea for collections – and the pictures on the front…. very smart!
(The exercise ball reminds me of being pregnant… both times! It was such a life saver, and i swear helped to get both babies in position!)

I wish Jaina would give bags of toys away! I finally got her to donate her Ponyville collection.. the one that hasn’t been touched by her for 1.5 years.

I absolutely love how organized you are and how talented you are in everything you do. I really look up to that. I love being organized and love sewing and photography,etc but Im only about half as good as you if that and def. not even close when it comes to sewing. You should post sewing tutorials :-)
Yes, I would also like to hire you. I will pay in cupcakes and back rubs.
wow, you are super organized. I love your organization style. so inspiring. in fact, i may do a similar thing! plus, we need to give away some toys too.
omg..you seriously rock! Nesting is awesome, you will be so glad you did all of this before the baby came. I love that last shot of her laying in front of the shelves…looks like a PBK catalog.
