My kitchen is usually clean. Of course, we aren’t robots, so you’ll occasionally find a mess. Most of the time, though, the kitchen is pretty clean. That is no small miracle considering the abuse the kitchen takes every day from all of us that live here. The secret to being mostly clean are habits. The […]
Organize the Kitchen (Love Home Challenge)
The kitchen is the most abused room in my house. There are countless groceries going in, trash and recycling going out. Cabinets and drawers are under a constant rotation of stuff. Counters and appliances get dirty daily with use. The spaces we don’t touch and use regularly get way grosser than places ignored in other […]
Donation Station #2
I just looked. It was 2013 when I first shared about putting a donation station in the garage. In that post I talked a lot about tracking donation for tax write-offs (and I shared a free printable). My focus today is why have a donation station at all?! I’ll tell you why: a designated place […]
Holiday Planning Pages – FREE Printable
A few weeks ago I went to my blog to download some printables to start planning for the holidays. It was so hard to find all the ones I wanted, because they’re spread out on a million different blog posts. I decided to recreate all the Thanksgiving and Christmas planning printables into ONE DOWNLOAD. That’s […]

Garage Progress
For being one of my least favorite rooms, I’ve actually shared a lot about our garages over the years. As a professional organizer, it was one of the most frequently requested jobs (probably the 4th most requested space). At some point, I just had to face the facts and deal with our garage. To get […]
Easiest Painting EVER (inside of our shed)
Yesterday I shared the miracle of the shed being built in one day. We went from grass to shed before my kids got home from school. After the shed was built, but before we could start putting stuff in it, I wanted to paint the inside. Why would I want to paint the inside of […]
From Grass to Shed in ONE DAY
We put this shed in last fall, but I lost so much time in the past year to depression, that I’m just showing you now. Spring may seem like the obvious time to put in a shed (and really that’s fine too), but I think fall is a great time because you’re about to store […]
