K-Cup Storage

February 10, 2015 by Chris

K-Cup Storage

I was professing my love for my Keurig (again) to a girlfriend the other day, and she responded that she’s not keen on getting one because she wouldn’t know where to store all the K-cups. 1. There’s still people out there who don’t have Keurigs? 2. Don’t make it difficult.  Buy a silverware organizer, put it in a drawer by your Keurig, and fill it up with your favorite K-cups. Done. We’re not … [Read more...]

DIY Custom Closet

DIY Custom Closet

So I was a single working mom for a week, and then I had parent/teacher conferences. Sorry about the absence. I have been trying to get a couple of things done around here, however. The main one being getting alll my closets and cabinets organized. Amazing how out of hand they can get when you don’t stay on them, ya know? Wanna see how out of hand they can get? It’s embarrassing, but here it … [Read more...]

2014 in Review {Cancer update}

2014 in Review {Cancer update}

I’m not gonna lie. While most people are saying, “Can you believe it’s the end of the year already?” I’m saying, “It’s about freaking time!”. 2014 and I did NOT get along well, and I’ve been ready and waiting to ring it out. However…this is a time to reflect and appreciate the good that did come out of the year. The blessings I was given. The happiness I experienced. So let’s take a look back and … [Read more...]

Getting Holiday Ready

November 10, 2014 by Chris

Getting Holiday Ready

Well hello, strangers. I hear ya. I’ve been a sporadic blogger, and it’s not my favorite. Believe me. Unfortunately, working full-time and blogging full-time requires a lot more energy than I remember, and it’s proving quite difficult for me. My focus is to get through the work day and hopefully get some dinner on the table for my family. After that…it’s a crap shoot. Sorry about that. I imagine … [Read more...]

Flashback Friday {Back to School}

Their needs are changing as they get older, but these have been some of the most popular for my kids. Art Tray DIY First-Aid Kit Homework Box (A MUST!) Lunch Drawer And notes to stay in touch with them! You’ll find plenty more under “organization” in my project … [Read more...]

Kitchen Stations

July 7, 2014 by Chris

Kitchen Stations

I’m usually one of those “don’t like anything on my counters” people. However, I was getting sick of lugging stuff in and out of cabinets for use, so I finally broke. We’re creatures of habit in this house, so I needed to develop some stations on the counters to help with my laziness and to keep things as tidy as possible on the counters. Our coffee station is obviously a no-brainer. We drink it … [Read more...]

Easy Desk Organization

Easy Desk Organization

Hey there! If you're following along on Facebook, you know we are knee-deep in a bathroom renovation right now. You ever start something and then it turns into ten more somethings? Yeah, that's where we're at. As a result, I purposely kept my Lowe's monthly project to something that would bring me some peace of mind. It was a simple project that I wish I would have done a long time ago! We … [Read more...]

5 Things That Won’t Happen at Haven Conference

That time is upon us. Haven Conference is days away! You're either getting excited or nervous. Or perhaps both. Instead of telling you what you should be doing or what you should have prepared, I'm writing this to hopefully put your mind at ease. I'll preface this by telling you I'm a pretty laid back person. Sometimes you need a laid back opinion to put things into perspective, so here are some … [Read more...]

Organized Drop Space

Happy Monday! Orrrr Tuesday. Summer is HERE for me, and I am already losing track of days. I. love. it. I have some awesome pictures to share of our weekend getaway, but first I thought I'd show some organization I've done recently. This month's project for Lowe's was a welcomed challenge. I was asked to show how to organize a drop space for your home. You know I love me some organization, and my … [Read more...]

Organized Garage Shelves {Lowes Creator}

March 31, 2013 by Chris

Organized Garage Shelves {Lowes Creator}

This month's Lowes Creator challenge was a no-brainer. I don't have much of a pantry, so a while ago I decided to utilize our garage for some extra storage. Unfortunately, Michigan winters get pretty bitter, and we end up throwing stuff on the shelf in order to get back inside.  The weather is starting to break, so the chaos needed to be tackled. "How bad could it be?", you ask. Take a look. … [Read more...]

Drawer Fabric Liners

February 11, 2013 by Chris

Drawer Fabric Liners

Being snowed in a for a couple of days always/sometimes gives me the urge to organize. I decided to attack the dining room buffet this weekend. It wasn't necessarily in bad shape, but it definitely needed a little face lift. I was rearranging dishes and realized the drawers needed something. I had some left over fabric from the reupholstered chair I worked on, so I thought this would be a good … [Read more...]

The Organized Junk Drawer

October 1, 2012 by Chris

The Organized Junk Drawer

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The classic oxymoron. “But Just a Girl, how can you have both?” you ask. I’ll tell you how. You buy a super sweet organizer, and you call your kids in for a family meeting. You tell them that anyone who messes it up will be grounded (a month or a year works best). Then--and here’s the important part--you actually follow through on that threat. But let’s … [Read more...]

Lunch Notes {Lunch Drawer}

September 4, 2012 by Chris

Lunch Notes {Lunch Drawer}

Three dreaded words—back to school.  We are officially back at it, and I’d be lying if I said I was happy about it. I love my kids being home in the summer! As a working mom, there is inevitable guilt, so I’ve tried for years to come up with different ways to stay connected to my kids while they’re at school/I’m at work. When they were little, I had mailboxes in their rooms to leave notes for … [Read more...]

Storing Ribbon

July 11, 2012 by Chris

Storing Ribbon

Yes, I have an obsession with ribbon. And yes, I’m always trying to think of new ways to store it. A while ago, I figured it out here. The only problem is that I kept buying ribbon, but I didn’t keep storing it properly. I keep all my ribbon in a drawer in my craft room, but it was starting to pile up (literally). Since I had the space, I figured out a way to make the ribbon more accessible … [Read more...]

The Closet Begins

February 12, 2012 by Chris

The Closet Begins

Before I show you what you’re about to see, let’s just imagine that my linen/guestroom closet will soon look like this. Let’s also imagine that I have some clue what I’m doing, and this’ll only take a couple of days to finish. I knew this closet was going to be a project of mine, but it’s been off to a slow start. Remember those goals? I started just piling things in there with total disregard … [Read more...]
