Getting Organized...A new school year is a second chance at that New Year's Resolution!

Hey Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by Altobelli Peterson Constructions Blog Page.

The School Year is Back on!

With that..

It is time to get organized!!

Ya Right, who am I kidding?

That was my New Years Resolution

& I am still struggling a bit!

A new school year to me..

is kind of like a New Years Resolution gone bad!

It's your Second Chance to Make it all Right again!

BUT, I AM BEING OPTIMISTIC this time...

I have made a little progress so far...

It still needs a lot of help...

but,

It is my start!

My own little organization station..

Each child has a magnet that holds important papers & Schedules!

I want to add a Sign above the Wipe Board with Our Name

Or a funny saying!

Below I found a very inspiring organization station.

Love the clock and the adorable his/her baskets!

http://simplyfabulousliving.com/organization-station/

Each persons needs are different!

I love how you can personalize them to meet Your Needs...

There is something very peaceful about being organized.

A sense of calm that takes over me when things are put away!

A couple things I have done is to:

1. GET RID OF EXCESS JUNK in MY HOUSE..

(we don't need a hundred of everything)

A couple pens, pencils, tapes, crayons, etc. are nice!

I don't need a whole draw full!

2.  GET RID OF MAIL RIGHT AWAY..

(nothing irritates me more than piles and piles of junk mail & magazines)

I try to get rid of it as fast as I get it.

3. DONATE CLOTHES THAT DON'T FIT ANYMORE!

(I have found that too many clothes just adds stress to my life)

I keep what fits & what they wear!

My children also have an easier time picking out what to wear, because everything in their closet fits and they like it!

Their is Simplicity in being Minimal

and

I have learned that it is bringing a Real Calming Sense to my

Otherwise Chaotic Life of

4 kiddos!!

Happy Organizing From Altobelli Peterson Construction!

Don't forget to fit us Into Your Schedule!

(a.k.a "dear wife")

I have Exciting News..

we hit

1,000 pageviews...

Thanks for "hanging" with us...

Speaking of hanging...

My Kids NEVER EVER EVER

hang their jackets up...

Do yours?

or 

Is it just my awful parenting abilities?

So...

I totally admit..

I am a 

"pinterest copy cat"

I did this exact same thing seen below in our front entry closet.

Well, I should admit

 I did not do it...

I told "dear hubby" to do it...

and 

he agreed, 

Can you believe it?

We agreed. On something...

Now that is something to brag about.

ANYWAYS..back to my story!

WE DID exactly like THIS....

http://www.housewivesofriverton.com/2013/02/coat-closet-makeover-tutorial.html

Because my CHILDREN

Do not, I repeat, Do not.

Hang up there coats with a hanger!!!!

But...

they will

THROW THEM ON A HOOK..

(yes, I'm bragging about my children again)

So, Consider changing out your rod

and

getting "hooked" up with hooks...

So, here is OUR Version...

I am not going to "fancify" it for you..

Because this is our Reality..

We have jackets.

We have shoes.

We have dirt, rocks, sand, mud.
We have a dog, a leash, a crazy Life..

So. If we can do it. You can too.

Another thing you can do...
If you have projects is to..
 Call Altobelli Peterson Construction for all your
Roofing
Siding
Gutter

Deck needs at 1-218-744-3350 or Just Message me! :)
