Mission: Organization

I must confess: I'm not good at organization. I'm not dirty, but my house can get messy at times. Working part time, paiting at night time and having two kids and chasing them around do throw me off a bit. Having all my art supplies or bills, my oldest daughter's school stuff and toys. Oh my, my...

But one of my this year's resolution is to be more organized and I've been doing pretty good. The thing is my mom used to do everything for me and my sisiter. We barely picked up and brought our own dishes to the kitchen sink after dinner. My mom used to clean out my handbags or shcool uniform's pockets. I'm not blaming her - I'm deeply grateful for all that she's done. I must say that I was spoiled girl who didn't know how to help my mother. And I'm embarrassed by it.

The funny thing is, my family and I were at my in-law's for dinner awhile back and I started clean up after my two daughters. "Honey, you tell the girls to pick up their toys, you don't need to do it.." my mother in law said. That's when it hit me. I'm turning into my mama!

I think it's important to teach my kids how to clean after their play time and I'm doing it now... I throw away stuff more. No more clutter and it feels so much better!

Here are some photos from Real Simple magazine - I realize now that ORGANIZATION is just divine...

Actually, I do fold my underwear just like this photo - my mom taught me that.

After seeing this photo, I did organize one of my drawer just like this and it works great!

I'm trying to organize my girls' closet and I really like this idea...

Note: My girls room doesn't look like this, but I thought it's funn photo...

And it looks like this now. Isn't it cute????

So, are you organized??? What's your secret to be organized? Pleas share!

My Dream House...

Coastal Living magazine has released a new seasonal magazine called "Total Beach House" - it is absolutely beautiful!



I selected the photos I love and it would be my dream house if I can combine all of them together or find the best aspects of every room and make my own. Growing up in Hawaii and living in FL, owning a beach house is my ultimate goal!



Aw sea breaze, I heart thee.....

(cute for my kids room)

Such a lovely porch..

I just love the color!!

White is definitely my favorite for bedroom.

I wish my kid's room is this tidy and neat.. LOL

Do you have a dream house???

One Step Closer....

I still can't believe my business website is finally up and running. It's a tremendous relief because I've worked so hard to create a beautiful site that everyone can love...

But this is not the end - it's just the beginning of my endless possibilities. I'm still nervous and scared about my new adventure. I'm seriously nervous about it.

I've always loved painting and loved art. But I've never thought I would choose it as my full time job. I think though, it's one of the things that can make me the happiest. It calms me down after all the craziness from everyday life..

I have a part time job and I am a mother of two girls and a wife. So, I don't have a lot of time to work on the paitings. I do paint after the girls go to bed, so when it's quiet which is truly a therapeutic experience. My goal is to quit my part time job by the end of January next year, so that I can focus on my true dream - paiting and becoming a great artist....

This is a blog about my life as an artist, a mother, a wife and a dreamer. I will try to post as much as I can and I hope you cheer me on through my blog. Thank you so much for being part of my life...

xoxo
