21 day challenge

Thanks to my great friend Shyla I had a little help getting motivated to finish the challenge I started. She wasn't sure if she was going to do it with me and then all the sudden she was caught up to how far I was. I couldn't let her pass me up :) So I have finished in the last couple of weeks and I feel super tired now. I made it a goal that I could order my baby bedding when I was finished and it should be here any day now! I honestly feel like I may be nesting even though I am only 23 weeks. I for some reason am now addicted and have been making new lists of things I want to do to make our house feel even better. Here are the many before and after pictures, I think I didn't take a few but I am almost embarrassed to show you how bad some of my closets and drawers looked. Please don't judge me!



 Pantry

Dresser Drawers
 My messy sock drawer
 Kambree liked helping with this one.


Kitchen and bathroom sinks
 Jake did this one for me :)
 Gross our bathroom drawers were so unorganized, I bought a lot of bins for them.






Laundry room


 Coat Closet

 cook books and medicine cabinet, a complete mess!
 Now nice and clean!


I cleaned out our game hutch Kambree had gotten into and pulled all the cards out .

 Really??? Do I need this many plastic bags?

 Our Freezer was disgusting, it felt so good to wash it all down and get rid of all the freezer burn.


 What on earth? Art supplies about ready to fall over.
 Much better!

 Our closet, I love how Jake claims that he wears all these clothes. I got rid of a few that I haven't seen in awhile.


 Kambree's closet that use to be a junk closet. We spent 90 minutes shredding old bills!
We still have a few more things to put in from her old room. 

And as I was updating the blog my baby bedding arrived! Kambree has already opened it and claimed it as her little hideout right now.

You're baby bedding is soo cute! And I am so jealous that you have organized everything. I keep thinking about doing your 21 day challenge but I just haven't started yet. You have totally inspired me! I bet it feels so good to have everything so clean and organized! Thanks for sharing the pics!

Way to go Julie!! I have yet to start on day 4! I am going to do it, I never give up on anything, but we decided to finish our basement so my 21 day challenge will have to be put on hold until my basement gets put back together. Thanks for giving me the motivation!! Cute cute bedding!!

Wow! Congrats on all the hard work!

I love the baby bedding. Is it a boy or girl? Or are you going to be surprised?

Liz said...

You are awesome! I keep thinking about doing it too, but haven't committed myself yet like I need to! (I have done a few areas though and it feels to good when it is done!) You did a great job!

How did you get the idea to do this? I think I wanna do it too before the baby is born. Is there a site or book you used?

Julie - this is so extremely awesome. I love your blog. I'm going to blame you for my not getting piano practice time in since you told me about the 21 day challenge and the bowl of lemons site. Sheesh.

Don't worry Julile...once the baby comes everything will resort to chaos!!!! LOL. I never got the nesting feel...I was just too tired. Your house looks great, though! Hugs!
