I Have a Confession....

Edited to add:
This just seems a perfect fit for 




Hope you don't mind the older post.  Be sure to check out all the other posts at Thrifty Decor Chick on cleaning and organization.

I must confess...

I love to organize things.

I love baskets.

What happens when you put those two things together?

This....



You get a basket filled with green salad fixings!



You also get a basket filled with shredded cheeses, cream cheese, pizza sauce and other delectables.



Another gratuitous basket shot.





Even more gratuitous basket shots.

Okay, Worker Bee was like, "You want to do what?" when I told him I wanted to use baskets for our produce in the fridge, but I think he likes it now.  It makes it so easy to get a salad ready or pull out those little containers that always get lost at the back of the fridge.  Right now, I am sure that the More Creative Friend and the Singing Nun (and their husbands) are rolling their eyes.  But, it works for me and IT LOOKS PRETTY!

Want to know what I put in my produce drawers now?
Drinks!
One drawer has kid friendly drinks - juice boxes, etc.
The other drawer has more adult beverages - Worker Bee's Cutthroat Ale (brought back from Utah - 13 states in 15 days) for example.

What do you use your baskets for?

Do you have a confession?

What did we do today?

Today Baby Bee and I finished a collage for a school art contest.  The theme was a favorite summer memory.

That was easy this year.  We took a family trip to Kentucky to visit the Worker Bee's family this summer.  We have always flown for these reunions, but this year we thought the Baby Bee was old enough to appreciate a trip driving across the country.  And drive we did!  We somehow managed to visit 13 states in 15 days.  Easy on the East Coast, not so easy starting in California.  Even though it was exhausting, it was one of the most memorable trips I've ever taken.  The trip gave me a new appreciation of how vast our country is and how beautiful.  Everywhere we went we met wonderful people.  Someday I'll write more about our experiences.

So here is the collage created by Baby Bee and with glue applied by me.  We took a poster board, cut out maps of all the states we visited and glued them on. Then we glued on the pictures cut out by Baby Bee.  She really enjoyed the process and I liked seeing her creativity come out.  I'm looking forward to seeing what project the school has in store for us next...........


Thanks for stopping by.
