PROGRESS FEELS GOOD! Sometimes you need a win and just want to make some progress. Small organizing projects make a big difference. These little projects not only rejuvenate the rooms and spaces they’re in, but they start a positive domino effect inside you. Wins create wins, which create wins, and so on. If you want […]
My Dad’s Very Organized Packing
Hopefully you’ve heard me tell you that I don’t believe you should have organized surfaces and messy drawers. I don’t like that it seems to indicate that we organize for what people see, because that isn’t why we organize. We organize to make our lives flow easier, and certainly things flow easier when we can […]
How to Re-Plant Succulents {My Succulent Paradise}
I used to think succulents were ugly – like really ugly. I also used to hate asparagus. Now thinking of roasted asparagus with a hint of garlic butter makes my mouth water. I told my mom about my attitude change toward asparagus and she said “Your taste buds are growing up.” Maybe that is what […]

How To KEEP Your Garage Organized
I have a friend that taught me a new term. She was telling me about her garage-organizing troubles and so I asked if she wanted any advice or help getting her garage in order. (She is a good friend – I don’t throw that offer around lightly!) She said “Oh no, we’re just messy garage […]
My Re-Organized Garage REVEAL
Funny story. I showed Matt my post earlier this week where I said: “This week I am going to be showing you how I recently re-organized my garage and I am happy to say that it is finally how I want it. Just like many of you, I have to compromise with someone else who lives […]
