Mine is either totally under-utilised with lots of papers to be filed, or just relegated on the list of the things we NEED to do. <br />I'm almost disappointed in myself as the purchase of the filing cabinet was made with confidence of getting life in order; yet that only happens in fits and bursts. <br />Good luck with your organisational endeavours. They certainly lift a weight off your shoulders when done, I find. xRaine and Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890862541890241422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-28431534886996822372011-06-29T11:13:53.252+08:002011-06-29T11:13:53.252+08:00I can completely relate, and can only imagine how ...I can completely relate, and can only imagine how much more the desire to organize + nest becomes once you have kids. The dreaded filing cabinet has always been an issue for us and at the beginning of the year I finally started sorting through it all.

I love nesting though....expecting a new baby is the best motivation to get things in order! I attacked our pantry a month ago. Our pantry is quite big {a whole wall} so I got in a bad habit of 'hiding' everything in there! It was a mammoth job to clean it out & re-organise but it was worth it. I can now find everything, everything is labeled & I have a storage system now :) {sounds OTT I know haaa}<br />We are turning our spare room/home office into bub's room too so I am looking forward to attacking that room over the next few weeks :) We can motivate each other along :)<br />xoClaire Chadwick @ Scissors Paper Rockhttp://www.scissorspaperrockdesigns.com.au/read-our-blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-41674806677820999292011-06-25T01:16:25.678+08:002011-06-25T01:16:25.678+08:00My goal is to constantly have an organized house! ...My goal is to constantly have an organized house!

I love the rush of energy that comes with it..and then you sleep for days afterwards..lol<br />You know that you will get it all done..and that everything will be perfect sweety...try not to place too much pressure on yourself...so long as you have the essentials ..the rest will fall into place.

I was so so so proud. But recently, I have realised it needs doing again. I can't find anything. I can't reach the back of the pantry, you know the drill! I realised - with shock - that my ohsoproudofitcleanout was in November 2009!!!!!!!! Oh, how time flies when you have babies. So yes, do what you can now. But be kind to yourself. Don't be your own harshest judge. Do what's necessary. And enjoy it where you can xxthis jen dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14787027291104632931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-17792985961548518022011-06-24T16:30:20.733+08:002011-06-24T16:30:20.733+08:00Oh you are sooo nesting.

I've just come back inside with plans spinning around in my head. It's a case of so much space and how to fill it. Dilemma, I know!

It drives Lyndon nuts. One of the main things is the end of the kuitchen bench which is always covered in papers and the floor of my studio which has boxes to go through and somehow store in the ceiling. I find sorting the most tedious job ever! I never know if I'm supposed to throw out bills once they're paid or not. A couple of weeks ago I decided to tidy the tupperware and cooking tin cupboard. I washed and restacked everything and it took me hours! It did look better at the end thankfully. Now if I could only keep it that way.<br />I hope Grace's sniffle doesn't turn into much and that you have a lovely weekend :)<br />xSarah Bhttp://mollysmaison.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-42594474310393827102011-06-24T10:31:20.216+08:002011-06-24T10:31:20.216+08:00Oh, Lovely.

It is so exhausting living with all that worry about getting everything 'right' and 'done before the baby comes'. I have lived through that. Three times. <br /><br />Every time, I have learned to ease up a little on myself. There's only so much precious energy you have to expend with the more children you have. It's a huge journey but worth the walk. I will follow your path with interest. J xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743336097657087832noreply@blogger.com
