White Organization.

Guys, I've been really getting shit done lately. Well that is, all the shit I have to get done besides keeping up with blogs...but I feel like a return to the steady blogverse is approaching.

I really like to be organized, or at least pretend to be organized. I think it motivates me to get things done more. I've been working on blog ideas, with some help from readers (thank you for your comments on that last post, btw, I started keeping a journal in my purse for the odd moment when I have an idea!) and am getting my life more in order.

I have a thing about lists. I even like making lists of lists that I have to make. It's sick, I know. So, in order to kick start my almost-Springtime self, I bought a white board and have decided to keep weekly goals and to-do's on it. And so far, it's really helping!

For example, this morning I wanted to stay in bed and hit the snooze a few more times but when I rolled over, I saw my white board and all I have left to accomplish for the week. So now, about 1 hour later, I am three cups of coffee down with an organized desk and a clean work space. Now I'm ready to start checking off some weekly goals and to-dos!

Guys, I'm really proud of myself.

Here's to getting back on the band wagon!

Oh and on a second note, do you know who Nigella Lawson is? She's a chef that I totally adore and love. Randomly, one of the dancer's at the studio I work at was telling me how her mom was hosting an event for Nigella here in Toronto and that she had to go help out. I lost my shit because I love Nigella Lawson so last night, the dancer brought me this:

Yeah, so it's safe to say that I'm pretty excited.

My New Obsession

SO! I hope everyone have a wonderful Valentine's Day. I know I did! I made cupcakes for Jake then went to work. We've postponed our day together until this Saturday. Don't fret. You'll get an update ;)

Pasta and rice and almonds, oh my!

But I have this new obsession. With glass jars. Glass organizing jars. I've now decided that I want everything in my cabinets to be in glass jars, all different sizes, so I can see everything!! 

My next step is to use the chalk board paint that Jake bought, paint a big strip across the front of the jar. Then I can write in chalk what's in the jar! (I know it'll be obvious what's in the jar but it'll be cute!)

So in honor of me FINALLY finding my home organization bug (believe me, I was never this clean or organized when I was a kid), I've decided to share some of my favorite ideas. I've gathered these ideas from other blogs and from Pinterest (one of my new favorite websites!)

What a freakin GREAT idea!

A Beautiful Mess has so many great ideas in general BUT under the "Decor" tab, there's an idea for a spice organizer! Some day I hope to have enough space to do so!!

Camille Styles is such a beautiful blog. I could spend HOURS on here just looking at pictures and getting ideas. I've wanted a garden since I moved here to Connecticut but since I don't have the space, I thought THIS was a great idea! 

Lastly is a new blog I started following, While He Was Napping. So many cute ideas!!!!! I loved the bathroom mason jar organizer. I am so going to do THIS when we get a new place! 

Alright, lovelies, that's all I have for the day!! I want to post what I did for Valentine's Day SO BADLY but since we aren't having our day until Saturday, I don't want to risk Jake actually reading this thing ;)

Till next time!
