Tips and Tricks

Gift organizing idea

So with all the random holiday clearance I decided to buy a bunch of cheap wrapping paper. Let’s face it buying paper to be torn and trashed fast is much rather pay a $1.50 a roll then $6!!!! Well, buying like 8 rolls because kids were with me picking papers they liked I had to much paper and no where to safely store it.

I ran to Walmart to see what they had on clearance and see if they had any of the paper roll storage containers and thankfully they still had some and on clearance for $11. The one I ended up needing was for 40 inch tall paper but even with all the rolls I bought it didn’t fill a third of this container. So I stuck all the gift bags, boxes, bows in it and all my birthday papers and bags too! I also stuck all the gift bags into one medium sized bag so it’s easy to pull them out and search through to find one and the tissue paper is tucked in the bag with them.

The best part I thought was that this container actually has a flip top lid, so now I’ve got a gift wrap central container. Everything besides tape and scissors is now in this container and I can easily pull out just what I need. So if you can still find these containers maybe you can make your own station too!

Ramblings

2020 here we come…..

It’s that time of the year where we are switching into another calendar year! Does the world completely change because we are in a new year and a new decade? NO, but we could be the change we want to see.

Writing this for myself more then anything! I want 2020 to be the year I stand tall, stand proud, stand faithful! As cliche as it is to make goals to start the year that’s mine.

Do I want to do like most everyone and lose weight, yup. It won’t define my year though because we never know what wrench life will throw at us to mess that goal up. So I’m going to keep thinking about my word I mentioned in my previous post “Stand” and we shall see where that takes me this year! Happy New Year!
