Tackle It Tuesday
Before I get to this week’s Tackle, I wanted to share something that I like to call The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Disorganization.
First, the good:
When cleaning out some drawers last week, I found a birthday card from my grandmother that I had put aside. It was from my daughter’s first birthday party. It had $50 in it!! Hooray!!
The Bad:
It was from my daughter’s first birthday party. This party happened 5 years ago. My daughter is now 6 and a half years old. 
The Ugly:
It was from my grandmother who has been dead for two years.
Ugh!
Moving right along…Today, I decided that I could no longer stand the “situation” that was going on under my sink. This was originally where I had kept my Tupperware and ziploc baggies/foil/plastic wrap/earth-hating goodies. No matter how many times I have tried to organize this it continues to turn into an unruly mess.
Everytime I’d have to pack lunches or store leftovers, I wanted to rip my hair out. Things would fall on me and I hate when things fall on me. That is enough to ruin my day. So you can imagine how many bad days I’ve had over this cabinet.
My friend came over this weekend and after looking at the “situation”, she suggested I move things around a bit. Sometimes it takes an outside eye to make you feel like a slob to see the solution right in front of you. Oh and she also asked me if I would ever need that many Tupperware containers. Of course, the answer was no.
Here’s what she suggested:
BEFORE:
I switched my cleaning supplies to under the sink (since my kids are no longer curious toddlers who are interested in drinking them). I also got rid of some of them because let’s face it, I don’t do a whole lot of cleaning anyway. Lastly, I took the towels out of their home and put them where the cleaning supplies once were. That freed up an area for the baggies/foil mayhem.
If you still care about this, here are the after pics:
AFTER:
And finally:
Things are no longer going to fall on me!! Hooray!!
To see more tackles, head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom.

Great tackle! I need to organize my Tupperware too.
My hubby and boys were going through our receipts box and came across a bank receipt in an envelope along with $25 in cash. I can’t believe I forgot the money in the envelope when I filed it in the box. I guess that’s one way to save!

that money story is classic! Whenever I find money, it’s only like a dime or something.
