closet re-do!

I'm not really sure I can call this post "closet re-do" as much as I should just call it "closet clean-up". Either way, I am loving my closet now and I have decided I have an insane amount of shoes. That's where this all started....the shoes. I was sick of them being piled up on my shelves, never being able to find the match, and then all of them ending up on the floor. With an entire closet to myself, I felt it was time to take back the control from my shoes. My jewelry was being a little unruly too. I have been hating this closet since buying the house because there is no door. I didn't want to look at the clutter, and it would be really nice to be able to shut Payton out of there. So I came up with this:





I bought the most amazing thing for my jewelry. It was so annoying to sit and pick apart necklaces that had gotten tangled in the drawer I kept them all in, so I bought a handy canvas rack thingy that keeps them nice and tangle free. You can hand it on a clothing rack, or because my closet has to many unnecessary walls, I just put it there.

I Love Projects :)

wow

One of my goals this year was to blog more. Now here we are, two months after my last post, and I am finally sitting down to update. Payton is doing fantastic. She is talking so much now, and it really seemed like just one morning she started saying sentences. It still amazes me something when she will come running up to me and just blurt something out that I can actually understand. We are both super excited for summer, especially her, and we have really taken advantage of the few days the weather has been decent to play in the backyard. A couple weeks ago I went on a cruise to the Bahamas with some friends. I can't even being to explain what a blast that was. I really needed a vacation too. It was only over a weekend so I was back to reality quick, but it was totally worth it. It was even worth the harassment I received from Josh about going. Here are a few pictures from our trip...




The cake adventure is going great and growing. Everybody has been so nice and great, and I have been able to try out a lot of fun and new things. I have gotten so many referrals and average about a cake a week, which is much more than I expected and I love it!
You all know that I love projects, and my latest is my project. I have become obsessed with reorganizing it and making it more functional. There isn't a door on my closet so I feel like it always needs to look clean and organized. I'm not doing anything crazy, just a few hooks, shoe racks, and extra hangers sort of stuff. Pictures to come soon when it's complete.
I'm hoping this summer will be great, and I have lots of fun things to look forward too. I really need to make more of an effort to update this, so once again I am setting that as a goal :)
