I love Saturdays with nothing to do....  and yet everything to do....

I haven't written much about my Domestic Diva ventures.
Past self/ pre wife self=  messy.... really messy 
2013 self/Wife self and forward- striving for organization and cleanliness not perfection

After 3.5 years of marriage I finally feel like we have mastered the layout of our apartment. We have figured out what works well for us in terms of furniture placement. Now it's time to get good at the little things in a home that make it run more smoothly.   Like organized kitchen drawers. :)  So that was my Domestic Diva adventure today.   Organizing those drawers!

Step 1- bought drawer liner from Christmas tree shop
 
Step 2- empty out the drawers and clean them! so many crumbs.. eeww
 
Yay! Done!

 I should have taken a before pic to show how messy they were. Ha!
 
 
Another aspect of being a Domestic Diva-  simple, cheap decorations which make things feel more 'homey'.  When I was 'single' all of those years, I felt like I didn't know how to decorate a home.  I knew it was inside of me somewhere deep down.. but I didn't take the time to figure it out I guess. So, the Christmas Tree Shop has become my buddy.  Cute stuff for cheap.  And I must share my latest Christmas Tree Shop Find!!!

 
Battery LED string lights!  Whispy little lights. $2.99
 
 
I bought a colored jar, a box of potpourri ball things and voila!
 
I think it's final resting place is going to be in the bedroom.
 
TODAY was such a good day.  Relaxing with the hubby... organizing... relaxing some more... organizing.. relaxing some more... and then we watched Men In Black 3. Really good movie!
