Over the MLK weekend I cleaned out our pantry, this is one side of the finished product. It took a long time and meant throwing away A LOT of canned good (the oldest having expired in 2005). We have a can rotation issue that I'm hoping will be remedied now that everything is current. Good grief!
I also cleaned of the desk in my room and dusted this tray Claudia gave me awhile ago which houses my necklace chains and pendants; so pleasing.
While cleaning I unearthed this frightening find from 1994!
These are the supplies I carry with me to Michelle's every week for Creative Friday. I usually have them dumped into 2 or 3 different bags and it drives me crazy, so I emptied the bags out onto my bed so I could weed out and organize everything.
This is the finished stash! It all fits into one large bag and is divided up into Ziploc bags so I can find things!
Whitney joined me for to eat lunch in the car one day last week, that was a first.
One of our new office aides (a great, 9th grade boy) showed me his phone cover, I was impressed.
I tried to help Whitney with her math homework and it nearly did us both in. I have since hired Landon to be her official tutor (for $5 an hour with the expectation of finished assignments and good test scores).
I also found that most of Whitney's math assignments are covered with drawings like this, so it's no wonder she may be missing quite a bit of class instruction. I was telling Randy about this and sharing my desire to have her hands tied to her desk so she couldn't draw but he said she was just draw in her head (like he used to as a kid)!
Landon has been playing Rec. basketball on a losing team, but they finally one a game (by one basket)!
I made cookies on Friday (since Michelle was too sick for me to come over) and ended up taking her family a plate of them, putting a bag of them in the freezer along with 2 logs of dough for future use.

So many fun things in this post. I LOVE all those necklace charms! How cool.
Also, I laughed at the BYU ID card, b/c I had one just like it when I went to BYU & it brings back so many memories.
WOW, I am IMPRESSED by the amount of stuff you were taking to your creative Fridays!!! Doesn't pairing down & organizing feel so good? :)
Brilliant idea to hire Landon to be Whitney's math tutor. Whitney is super talented at drawing!!!
Your organizational skills are so impressive!
this is a great post-
Whitney looks so grown up in that car pic!
Such a pleasing post with all the organization. I loved the thought of a creative bag ready to go.
Your pantry looks great! I need to do that, I've been stuffing things in lately and who knows what is living way in the back.
I should double my chocolate chip cookie recipe to keep some in the fridge--very smart. We just bake 'em and eat 'em in a pretty fast turnaround.
I'm trying to organize and get rid of stuff. Way too cold here, trying to stay in. I didn't know that was Whitney until I read her name! Think I go make cookies now!
the bag of CF supplies is so delightful! way to be organized.
those cookies look good.
i am on the fence with VT. I'm glad you have become good friends with your partner!
