Monica, from The Homespun Heart and Rebecca from That's What It's All About are hosting Restoring Order for fellow bloggers.  This week, I decided to join in, because I desperately need to get our winter clothing situation under control.  In previous years, I did not have to worry about storing our winter clothes, because we had so little that it all fit into a large Rubbermaid container.  I think we each had a couple of sweaters or sweatshirts each, real shoes (as opposed to flipflops), and some long pants.  Since we've been in Connecticut for a year though (yes, it has been a full year!), we have accumulated quite a bit of heavy clothing that we won't need again for another 5 or 6 months.  Right now it's all sitting in several baskets in my bedroom, but I'm ready to find a better solution.  I'm thinking Rubbermaid containers stacked in our closet (whoops, that means I'll need to clean that out too, I suppose....), but if anyone has better solutions in mind, please share them!  When we lived in CT before, we had a large attic, but we don't have much storage space here.

Another thing I need to go back to doing to restore order is to write out my menu plan.  I did it every Monday without fail until a few months ago, and we've been relying on quick dinners and takeout too often.  This is hosted at Organizing Junkie.

Here is our menu for the week:

Monday  Spaghetti with sausage, broiled zucchini

Tuesday  Garlic shrimp over rice, corn on the cob

Wednesday  Whole chicken, baked potatoes, frozen Italian vegetables

Thursday  Tacos and nacho-pumpkin soup

Friday  Leftover chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, frozen corn

Saturday  Breakfast for dinner:  egss, pancakes, bacon, fruit

Sunday  Corned beef, cabbage, boiled potatoes (This is for John and the kids; I'll eat something else!)

Have a great week!
