Hello!
It felt weird not posting yesterday, but today I’m linking up with Shay and Erika for Let’s Look.
In January, we looked at scheduling/organizing a busy family.
This month’s topic is: what’s in your medicine cabinet…
Well, we don’t have one! I got to thinking…we’ve lived in three houses, and our first one had a medicine cabinet in the bathroom Travis used, but I didn’t have one in the bathroom I used. Then, our second house didn’t have one. (It was “newer,” so maybe that’s why?) Our current house did have one in the primary bathroom, but when we redid the bathroom a few years ago, we tore it out…and there’s just a mirror there now.
This closet has always been in the bathroom, and it’s where we store all the things…
Given the crazy busy stage of life right now, I guess it’s not in too bad of shape…
- Top shelf: That white tub holds travel sized things like small bags we use when we travel, and a few other odds and ends.
- Second to top shelf: Sheets for our bed. The kids have their spare pairs in their bedroom closets.
- Next: Towels. Since the kids don’t have a closet in their bathroom, this closet holds the towels for them and for me.
- Then…I have a tub for small items like lotion, mouthwash, etc. We have another small tub for dental hygiene…mostly the toothbrush heads for our toothbrushes. Then, I have nail polish and a few beauty products.
- Bottom shelf: I have a bucket with a few hair things, then my Invisalign trays, and over the counter medicines and Band aids.
- Very bottom: My facial steamer, heating pad, old scale (I guess I should throw this away), and a “beauty bag” that I’ve had forever and just keep random things in it like small trash bags, sunless tanner, hand sanitizer and more.
It’s a pretty small bathroom, and it could probably be better organized, but I’d say we at least can see everything and know where to find things. The kids only have a couple of drawers and under the sink storage in their bathroom. Travis uses the basement bathroom, and keeps up with his own towels, medicines, products, etc.
I store my skincare products, daily medicine, curling iron, and more under the sink and in the couple drawers I have in the bathroom vanity.
Do I wish I had a bigger bathroom? Sure do! I honestly wish it more for the kids. They share the world’s smallest hall bathroom. I guess it keeps them humble. haha…”first world” problems for sure.
Next month we look at all time favorite Amazon finds…I better start planning that post now. Y’all know I love Amazon!
I hope you are having a great week.
