When the Island Goes Down to Half

I’m trying SO HARD to keep the house in order now that its listed on MLS. I want to be ready for a showing at the drop of a hat. Or, if there is suddenly to be a last minute showing and I can’t prep it first, I want it to be not too disastrous. You get it. In general, our house isn’t too big of a mess, but there are areas that get SO bad SO fast. And my island is the worst for it. It always has been. The beautiful large clear island is a total dumping ground, and its the first thing you see when you come into the home. It has to stay tidier than this.

Real talk – this isn’t even bad. At least its not a million things. But its enough things, and its taking over half the island. So its time to clean it up!

Currently it holds:

my calendar that I took off the wall for the sake of repainting, and I won’t be putting it back up, because either a nail hole or adhesive. So it kind of lives on the island now :/ Any ideas?

some bath and body soaps I was given! Ack! I haven’t had these soaks in FOREVER! I need to go put them upstairs.

my tool kit. Just needs putting in the junk drawer.

the med bottle will have its last dose taken from it today and then its getting pitched! Whew!

That box in the back is medical supplies that need to go into a closet. Trying not to have clutter out, I need to find space in a closet for it.

Kids photo proofs are on top of that box. I want to file those away but I know some kids want to cut out and keep one or two of their own photos. So we’re waiting on those decisions to be made.

Pumpkins!!! They need cooking!

The basins came to our house when my mom brought us a meal on the weekend. I need to return her pots to her, as well as her basis, and some of the towels used to keep in the heat got messy, so I need to wash those up.

That pink box is a new parcel that came this weekend – I’ll tell you more about that shortly.

And the laptop came down with me this morning because I use it periodically all day. Like right now. As I blog.

Today’s day isn’t too chaotic. Most of our commitments are after school. So this morning, I will tidy this all up, wash the towels, and hopefully cook up some of the pumpkins! Tomorrow I will barely be home at all, so I need to get things organized today if possible 🙂

Don’t forget to buy our house!!
