I am a scrapbooker who doesn’t scrapbook. There. I said it. I love going into scrapbook supply stores, I love the trinkets, the colors, the beautiful papers. However, I use them for items throughout the house that can be seen. Don’t get me wrong, I have scrapbooked. It takes a LONG time though. Here is a sampling of things I have done around the house… You will soon find out (in case … [Read more...]

Organizing Kids
I'm sick. My throat feels like I'm swallowing razor blades wrapped in sandpaper. My body feels like it's going through a meat processor. Get the picture? However, I'm not one to miss a party. I might be late for a party, but miss one? No way. Wendy over at The Shabby Nest is having a Taming Kid Clutter party, and anyone with kids will be running like madwomen to see all the ideas! Now, I'm not … [Read more...]
Stationary Stationery
Look at that. A clever title and I can probably find it in the future. Okay. I have been trying to teach my children about the value of a written thank you recently. While I’m kind of obsessed with stationery, I have admittedly gotten away from using it as often as I should. Thanks to winning a $50.00 gift card to Tiny Prints last fall, I was finally able to fulfill my return address label … [Read more...]
Medicine Cabinet Organization
Hi all! Sorry about the absenteeism recently. I guess I could give you a list of things that have kept me away for so long, but let's just say it's been busy around here! I have a LOT of posts to write, but no time or energy to write them. School's almost out, and that means back to our regularly scheduled program. I worked on some organization recently and thought you'd like a tip! The tip? … [Read more...]
Contain the Car Clutter
Thirty-One has no idea who I am, but I'm about to reveal my obsession with their bags. If-after this confession-they decide to reward me with free bags for life, I'd totally be ok with that. Just sayin'. As you can see from the sampling below, I have an assortment, and I use them for various things. Today, however, we're just going to talk about the car. Otherwise known as "the dumping ground for … [Read more...]
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...]
Organized Garage Shelves
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...]
Organize Kitchen Cabinets
This might be a weird post to some, but if you’re an organizational freak like I am, you’ll be giddy. Or maybe I’m just giddy. The other day, my friend went to get a cup for some coffee (because apparently I don’t serve my friends), and she said, “Holy crap! Whose cabinets look like this?” I immediately started sweating at the thought of what she might have found. Turns out, I just have … [Read more...]
Practical Pantry
You can tell it’s the new year. We all have our trees down (or do we?), and we’re feeling the need to clean and organize. I, of course, am no exception. I’ve been drooling over some of the pantries through blogland, and it inspired me to kick my “pantry” into gear. Case in point: I had actually started gutting one of the shelves when I realized I needed to take a picture (shame on me). … [Read more...]
Organization Station!
Like a dark cloud on a sunny day…it’s coming. School will be starting soon, so I’ve gone into “nest” mode. So, I’m feverishly getting projects around and organizing up a storm. I ordered this vinyl calendar from Sayitwithstyle on Etsy. I am madly in love with it. It’s actually printed in reverse, so there’s no lines to contend with when I erase a doctor’s appointment I missed or a bake … [Read more...]
Pretty Desk Accessories
I’m organizing my office right now, and I suspect I’ll be done around September. The task is daunting. In an effort to distract errr motivate me, I’ve been shopping around for some new desk accessories. Feminine is the new black these days, and I’m all for it! I thought I’d share some of my purchases and some inspiration offices I’ve seen around the web. tape dispenser | candle | cover | phone … [Read more...]
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...]
How to Organize a Closet
Clever title, no? I promised you this post a few weeks ago, and time got away from me. Obviously, anytime you organize a space, it's going to be an individual experience. My belongings won't necessarily be the same as your belongings, ya know? So this is just a "general advice" post for you to show you how I approach it. Perhaps the most exciting part of this newly organized closet was the … [Read more...]
