I’ve wanted to clear out under the sink for a while now…
What a mess…couldn’t find anything in there!
So this evening while I was waiting on the stew in the crockpot, I took a half hour and did it! I have to admit that what finally lit that fire was Abby over at Just a Girl and Her Blog. I did not have the time to be as thorough as she was- but I fully intend on eventually making the cleaning caddies that she did for each part of the house!
First I pulled everything out on the floor and separated it into groups: flooring, dishes, surfaces, miscellaneous. This is also when I notice that big crack in the wall back there and made a mental note to get H to patch it!
Then I ransacked the house for some spare containers to have some division of space.
Below is what I accomplished at first:
Except that didn’t suit my organizational Happyness so then I re-arranged again:
Dish washing things front and center- because we need them constantly! Sponges, cleaning rags and trash bags in the drawer. Dish washing liquid on top. Plant food behind because I only need it once a month!
To the left- Febreze and miscellaneous things like oven cleaner and WD-40 (because I can’t stand squeaky doors!) That big jug back there is for the Mircle Grow water for my plants 🙂
To the right- floor cleaners in the back, surface cleaners up front, with the constantly used disinfectant wipes within hand’s reach!
So much better and it didn’t cost a thing! And it only took 30 minutes to give me a little Happyness boost before I sat down to pay bills (not so much of a boost there). So remember: clear out, group together, and contain!
Thanks for visiting and Happyness to all!

Practical Happyness 
Ooh it looks so good! All of those containers and bins make me giddy! 😉 It’s amazing what you can get accomplished in a half an hour. Hope you had a wonderful weekend, Misti!

I had a great weekend- how was yours? Thanks so much for the comment 🙂 I’ll be shooting for the bathroom cabinets this week I think!
My weekend was good! Our neighborhood pool opened, so we spent a lot of time down there with the kiddos. They LOVED it. 🙂 Have a great day, Misti!
