Happy Valentine's Day from the Christiansens

We had a fantastic valentines day. Scott and I celebrated yesterday because we had too much going on today. Here are a few of the things I did for him. He woke up to breakfast and a little something for him to bring to work for him and the guys.( A bunch of muffins), than he found the we were "mint to be together" in his truck full of mints. and than of course some chocolates and an itunes card.

 My kids got a little something too.

Last weeks organizational projects!

I am so sick of snow that I started spring cleaning and organizing early. here is what I did for last weeks projects.
First I made a purse emergency kit out of a dollar store hot pad. I just sewed in snack bags and sewed on a ribbon on both sides to tie it shut.

Than I made a little emergency car kit for the van in case we break down somewhere and I need a few things for the kids. 

Next I organized my coat closet. We always put our 72 hour bags in that closet and it is always a mess. In order to avoid the clutter I decided to pile them up and use a bungee cord to keep them all snug. We can just grab and go in an emergency.                                                         

Lastly, I am so sick of always putting away everyone's laundry so I made everyone baskets. I just put the laundry in their baskets and they are responsible to come get it and put it all away.I am not a slave people!!!
