The island of Maui is a spectacular place to visit. There are lots of things to do such visiting beaches, helicopter tours, and national parks to tour. Maui presents lots of actions for all age groups and people with diverse interests. While in Maui, some of the best things to do include: 1. Road To […]

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 […]

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) […]
