Tackle It Tuesday – A Guest Post from Michelle

Written by Susan

MichelleThis week we have Michelle from Michelle’s Family Journal dropping in for a guest tackle.

Michelle is a long-time participant in Tackle It Tuesday and we’re glad she’s jumping in and tackling for us this week.

Thanks Michelle!

Hi, I’m Michelle and I’m today’s guest tackler.

For this week’s Tackle It Tuesday, I really, really needed to tackle McKenna’s room. *sigh*

The closet was overflowing with clothes — Baby to 4 years old. I worked on organizing it while she was at pre-school and
afterwards. Then I asked for some help with her old socks and toys. McKenna was fairly willing — emphasis on the fairly willing.

I managed to put clothes in Rubbermaid bins by size. I’m so relived that’s done… I’m going be to consigning the clothes in January!!!

Yes, we are saving some of the special clothes… “Baby’s First Christmas” Top and the Toile Dresses/Hat. As well as the First Birthday dresses. Yes dresses — a girl can never have enough :)

I vacuumed all over the room as well except under the bed it’s too hard for this Mummy to do herself!

McKenna was over at a neighbours house and when she came back she promptly said to me “Oh Mummy I love how my room looks thank you so much!” And when I said it was my tackle it for 5 Minutes for Mom, she replied “Oh, 5 Minutes for Mom” Right!!” LOL

First up is the closet *still left to do the shelf* and wash the stuffed animals. I’ll share pictures when that is done in the week.

Angela @ 12:37 am

What a great tackle! I did a closet this week as well. :)

I do need to do the kids’ room though. I am dreading it!

Michelle Kent @ 12:40 am

Angela I wish you much luck with the children’s closet :)

Great Tackle! Taking before and after pictures always makes me feel a great sense of accomplishment Those are really nice drawers for under the bed! I also spy a pampers diaper box – I’ve found they are also great/sturdy storage containers in a pinch! :)

Bonnie @ 6:30 am

I have to do the clothes thing on a constant basis with four children and now keep a bin in my master bedroom so I can toss the clothes in there and sort later where the outgrown clothes are stored.

That is a great tackle. I know how time consuming it can be.

That’s a great tackle Michelle! I love when I get the kids clothes organized, such a good feeling.
Thanks for hosting!

You would totally laugh if you saw a photo of my son’s bedroom. Looks identical!
