A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS – SERIES
How many times have we gone to our husbands garage to look for a hammer and a nail just to hang a picture? This used to really get on my nerves, especially since our garage is detached from the house. So if it was raining, ugh, such an inconvenience. For me, I am married to a man with O.C.D when it comes to his tools. You guys think I like to be organized? He tops the cake in that department. Anytime I would mention that I was going to get a hammer and a nail, he would say “I will get it for you,” simply because he didn’t want me messing with his tools.
He never understood why I wouldn’t just ask him to hang a picture for me. Well, the last time I did that he came in with 3 power tools, a 8 ft level, and a stud finder. Are you kidding me? Just give the hammer and nail!!! I love him with all of my heart, but please, 2 hours to hang a 8 x 10 frame? No thanks!
So years ago, I mentioned to him that I wanted my own tool kit to keep in the house. He liked the idea and actually surprised me with one. I was so excited. Not many women would get excited over this, but hey, I own as many power tools as he does. 🙂 I keep the big power tools in the garage!
Having my own tool kit is essential for organization in the home and wonderful because everything I need is right at my finger tips. He actually uses it for quick projects in the house. Now, I have become a little O.C.D with my own tools, especially when he accidentally takes one to the garage, which brings me to this; when you get a tool kit, get a pink one with pink tools. Your husband will not accidentally take them to his garage. Ahhhh the power of pink.
The following kit is one I highly recommend. Not only does it come with basic tools, but it has room for other things too like a small container of nails, picture hangers and your label maker. And it’s PINK !!!!!!!!
Important note: Let’s Get Organized is not like the other blogs. I am very up front about selling products on my site. I work from home helping you! I am a professional organizer with a heart to help others, by blogging about what I know. Most blogs hide what they are selling to make it look like they are not trying to sell it. That is not me and there are no secrets here.
