YEP -- I'M A NEAT FREAK!

I am a self-diagnosed neat freak. I love to clean and I love to organize. (If I could have a container, holder and/or label for EVERYTHING, my life would be complete!) And this is my brand new blog for everything NEAT!
I have a toddler in perpetual motion, a packrat daughter, a dog and a disorganized husband... and I hope to share the challenges, trials, errors, rewards and insights of being a bit "too clean obsessive" in a family that's not so in love with neatness. And I am making a promise to clean, rearrange, organize and simplify my life... and help you along the way! SO stay tuned for my journey toward everything orderly and efficient!

Day 45: My Organized Hubby?

Wow! I'm not sure how this happened -- perhaps the neatness is finally rubbing off?!?! -- but my husband has done something pretty clever to straighten up his work truck!

Now, I've tried in the past to help him out by purchasing several neat items for his vehicle (like a small trash can, a window visor organizer, etc., etc.), but nothing seemed to work for him. The organizational items would be there... no doubt. But they would not be in use. See... that's kind of a necessity. If you want your organizational helpers to help you out, you have to actually USE them! ;)

ANYWAY, he kind of surprised me the other day when I peeked in his truck and spotted a very neat tool sitting by the driver's seat.


It's a handy dandy, sturdy car organizer with LOTS of compartments and pockets. So he can now store his work invoices, checks, pens, business cards, phone and various safety items, like glasses, hats, earplugs, etc., etc. He's already mentioned how nice it is to not have to tear around through the front seat in a mad frenzy, trying to locate needed items.... Go figure!



It's FABULOUS! I am so proud!!!


Now, THAT's neat!
