Diagnose your Garage & Cure the Clutter

Spend a few hours this weekend and get your garage whipped into shape! No? Why not? If that doesn’t seem possible, I can probably guess a few reasons. Garages are where unused things go to die. My guess is that your garage is full of things you don’t need or use. Here are the 4 most common garage diseases […]

Antiqued Silhouette Boards

The walls of my living room are quite bare. Well, let’s be honest for a second: all the walls in my home are quite bare! I’m of the slow and steady mindset when it comes to decorating. I’ve had silhouettes on my mind for a while, and then it finally came to me how I […]

My Kitchen

Organic Garden: Can We Do It?

Crazy us. We are going to try gardening. Again. We’ve been down this road before … and never really gotten anywhere. But try, try again! We will one day have green thumbs, even if I have to spray paint over the black myself. To add to the insanity of our attempt, we are going to […]

Raising The Next Generation Of Organizers

Yesterday I finished with my bi-annual project of helping each of my girls deep clean their rooms. I spread this project out over different days and times, because I wanted to make sure I had a fresh reserve of patience for each child. Because, lets face it, young children won’t have quick decision-making powers or […]

The What-Not Basket

Just when I have the house all nice and neat, it seems as though there are little elves un-doing all my good work. These elves come in tall and short forms. The truth is, it takes a lot less effort to make a mess than it takes to clean one up.An organized home doesn’t have every little […]
