Secret Geek Super Power: Getting Organized

So its been a busy 2010 so far. I have been working my butt off creating an office for and launching my Practice as a Massage Therapist. All the while working to maintain connections with my family and keeping up with friends. I've found that the only way to keep everything and everyone humming along is to get organized.
This is happy news for me. I LOVE organizing. I LOVE getting rid of stuff. And being a Free Bird I mean, I really love it. It may be my secret geek superpower.

Here's what I've been working on:

I made this little craft supply holder out of a blanket storage bag



My lovely sister in law gave me this for toy organization



Here's how the my new Massage and Polarity Therapy Office came out:



I absolutely love it! And remember, Full hour sessions for only $50 for the month of April!

I also have been working really hard in my kitchen, because I find that we eat better when I have a clean fridge and an organized pantry. I came across some of my old meal plans and cookbooks and its given me the kick in the arse I needed to get excited about cooking again.
Also I have discovered a new blog via facebook, and that has given me the inspiration to be organized in a new way with my finances. ( Oh, man, I Love designing a new budget!) check it out at: www.eventualmillionare.com
Also, I have a day planner and a calender, and you would think that would be enough, but we are a very visual family and needed something where we could all see what everyone was doing weekly.

So here's what I came up with:




All of this is helping me to purge alot of our uneeded stuff So I am planning my first ever YARD SALE! We usually donate everything to goodwill and will continue to do so in the future, but I am pretty excited about trying a little backyard bargaining! My goal is to make enough to tune the piano or buy something frivolous, which we are not in the habit of doing.
There is joy in opening up a closet and finding exactly what you need, or in knowing that everyone has time scheduled for themselves and also in that you only own what you truly need or want.
If you don't truly believe that organizing is my Secret Geek Super Power, than feast you eyes on this:



Who else would buy this! ( seriously great ideas in there )

Next on my organizing list is the attic!





Here's to finding joy in the simple things!
Cheers!
