So, a few weeks ago I showed how I upholstered my new kitchen bench (see that post here). This weekend I decided I was going to do the same with my dining room chairs.  I can’t even believe I’m showing this considering their condition. But honestly, with two little kids, I was putting it off as […]

I’m continuing to work on my January checklist and of course one of those items is to take down all the Christmas decor.   I came across these Sterilite Ornament Storage cases at Walmart  and decided to grab some.   I liked them because they each could hold twenty ornaments and keep them protected as well as stack on […]

A while ago I shared pictures of my (now) organized pantry and the process behind it all. (See that post here.)   Well, a friend and former colleague wrote and told me that post inspired her to do something with her own pantry at home. LOVE TO HEAR THAT BY THE WAY!!!   I asked if she […]

Okay, so we’re on day 7 of putting together a Home Management Binder. My first category was called “Planning Ahead” and is complete with goal making printables, to-do lists, and meal planning checklists. Today we’re finishing up the “Reference” category where I’ve included emergency info checklists, medical waivers, baby and pet sitting checklists, and now special occasions. I like […]

As I mentioned the other day, I am working towards creating an efficient Home Manager Binder that will house pretty much everything we need to run our home/life more smoothly. (See this post to see the materials I am using as well as the categories I have chosen to include here.)   I also mentioned that […]

I am SO excited to take part in my FIRST GIVEAWAY later this week. (This giveaway is now closed.) SO, I thought it would be great to devote this WHOLE WEEK to organizing your photos. Here is the agenda for the week:   Monday:    Organizing digital photos from your camera to your computer using some sort of […]

So you may have heard me mention or noticed on our home tour that we have been SLOWLY working on redoing our laundry room. I say slowly because this project seems to be never ending.  However, I see and end in sight. [Enter Happy Dance here]. In fact, all that is really left if the organizing and […]

Let me sort of fill you in on what we started with. The red came with the house. And although I love warm colors and often lead towards red, there was just a lot of wood going on as well and something just wasn’t jivin’.  So we started with the eat-in nook of our kitchen […]

Yesterday I showed how I changed over and organized the girls’ closets for fall. (See that post here.) Today I wanted to focus more on their drawers. And because my younger daughter only has 1 small dresser, I wanted to show you how I  created more “drawer space” in her closet. I mentioned in (yesterday’s post) […]

As the summer season is about to leave us, cold season is soon approaching. Once the weather begins to change a bit I always try to prepare for when that first cold or sickness hits.    This year I decided to go a little further and create what our family calls a”Cold Caddy”. That is […]
