Closet Project

We recently updated my closet and I love it!  I didn't think to get a before picture until I had already cleaned out everything from the top - but all of my luggage, tote bags, and purses were lined up along the top of the wire racks that held my clothes.  I had spent a lot of time since we moved in cleaning/organizing my closet and it looked nice, but had some wasted space.


Before I kept all of my shoes in this organizer (and another one just like it).  


After we moved everything out of the closet we covered the holes from the wire racks and I painted the room while Matt started putting some of the closet pieces together.


Now the actual rods are much higher so there is not as much wasted space up high in the closet.



The double rods allow for me to fit more of my clothes in a smaller space and free up space for drawer storage.


 I moved my jewelry and perfume from the bedroom into the closet.  Our goal is to eventually get most of our clothes in our closets so we can eliminate one of the dressers in our bedroom and have more space.



I've already moved a few things around since these pictures and I feel like my shoes take up much more room with this setup than they did before so I may change how they are arranged.


I love the added space and am excited to setup something similar in Matt's closet next!

Snowy Indiana!

We went to Indiana for a long weekend to meet our new niece/cousin Lucy!


We were up early for our flight and Ava had some pancakes.


After we arrived at the smallest airport ever, we went through security and it was time to head out to the plane..yes, out to the plane.


Ava was really interested in the snow as we landed.


Saturday night we watched the IU game with Sara and Grant, and then visited with family Sunday.  Ava loved going to church with Grandma and meeting Sally the puppet!


That night Matt and I went to dinner and Ava played in the snow with Grandma.



Ava went to Chuck E Cheese with Grandma Lo on Monday and had so much fun!







Matt and I hung out with Sara and Lucy :)


and Hoosier!


We had so much fun and are already looking forward to hopefully going back this summer.....and enjoying the sunshine instead of the snow!

Happy Valentine's Day

Ava fed Brady like she does many mornings and then got to open up her Valentine's Day present!  It was dark outside so you can see all of her hand prints really well on the slider - yuck!  I guess I know what chore we'll be working on soon :)  I had a great day at school with my kids and Ava got to have a pizza and cupcake party at her school with her friends.  We all rode to work/school together and went to get dinner after we picked Ava up.  I can't get over how grown up Ava looks in her dress and can't believe she will be two next month!  Happy Valentine's Day!

Weekend Pics

It was a typical weekend - we spent a lot of time outdoors, did a little shopping, finished some house chores, witnessed a few tantrums, but mostly just had fun!
