Little Bathroom Update

I said last week that with all the deep cleaning I was sure to find some things that needed replaced or fixed, moved or organized. Well the first thing I noticed was the bath mats in our bathroom, when I took them out of the washer the rubber backing is pretty torn up and coming apart. 
I knew I had seen some cute ones around town somewhere..
It was Cost Plus, they have reasonable prices on a lot of their stuff. 
These match and I like them a little better even!



Also dealing with our under sink storage. It's not pretty or functional. Looking for some ideas on storage for everything from hair dryers to toilet paper. 
I love this idea from Pinterest
I haven't found the small holders yet though. Anyone seen them around lately?
Hope I have a newly organized bathroom post next Wednesday, 
especially since I am headed to IKEA in a couple days!

Meal Plan Monday and Pantry Inspiration

I cannot believe it is Monday again already!
I've got our meal plan for the week all set
Monday~White Chicken Enchiladas
Tuesday~Shredded Beef tacos
Wednesday~Kielbasa with Peppers and Pasta
Thursday~Pork Roast with veggies
Friday~Takeout (I will be out of the house all day with 2 out of the 3 kids)
Saturday~BBQ something
Sunday~Leftovers

And since today is Monday I have been in the kitchen cleaning, made me think about our Pantry and if I could make it better than it is now. So of course Pinterest is the go-to for ideas these days!
Lots of great Pantry pins on there. I pinned the ones that caught my eye HERE.

 I love all the glass jars in this one
but too many little hands for these right now.

I really like the overall look of this one, 
I feel like our pantry seems really dark and this one is so light!

This is some major organized food storage!

There are more on my pin board, where all of these came from too.
Thinking I will head to IKEA Friday after our appointments in Portland, since we will be up there anyway. Hope I can find some good stuff to help our pantry. It's not horrible though, it's organized, just ugly!

Tomorrow is tidying the living room and I need to find some magazine storage ideas tomorrow!

Friday!!! Finally

This week of getting back in the swing of things has gone well as far as keeping house goes, but that whole balance thing still isn't happening, I've only been to the gym once and we didn't do much "fun" stuff this week.
I'd like to blame it on being super busy but I'm just not good at getting it ALL done.
Spending this week getting the house fluff done will for sure make it easier though!
I didn't get to organize anything really today, I was home for 1 hour before dinner, I don't know how workin' mamas get anything done!!

I tidied up the pantry a little, no major overhaul or anything. Looks the same as before but with groceries now!

And now I can see I really need to re attach some of that shelf liner!
Maybe next Friday, as long as next week goes as planned!!

Hope y'all have a lovely weekend and that it doesn't rain, it's dumping here!!
