This is one of those posts that no one (Shawn and the kids included) will probably give two hoots about but me, but it's largely my blog, so... I am very, very happy to report that the giant overflowing heap of toys taking over the family room has been neatly contained in one giant new shelf (thank you Ikea, and thank you Matt and Kerrie for delivering the beast!). The old "toy shelf" has been repurposed as a catch-all in the front entry: And the new shelf is SUCH an improvement in the wonderful world of organization: Everything has a spot! Bins hide some of the clutter!! And there's ample space on top for toys in quarantine (for failure-to-pickup violations)!!!

Next up I'm tackling the kids' closets and our (seriously cluttered office). It is a definite sign of nerdiness to get this ridiculously excited about having an organized space :0)
