5 minute organizing projects

December 27, 2019

Empty the space while you declutter.

I confess I have a problem. I don’t always like to read directions. Sometimes it’s because I think I already know how to do it, or I think I’ll figure it out as I go, or I’m just not in the mood to worry about the details. And yes, this little problem of mine, really […]

Kitchen Shelf Hack – Create More Storage Space!

This somewhat obvious solution for adding kitchen storage is easy to overlook. But, if you’re struggling with space in your kitchen cabinets, have you considered adding more shelves? How about corralling little items into baskets (they’ll take up less space than when they’re spread out)? This week I set out to add shelves and get […]

Organizing Nail Polish & Essential Oils {5 Minute Organizing}

My master bedroom is normally my sanctuary, but right now it looks like a closet exploded all over it. The floor and part of the wall were ruined in this last flood, so everything had to come out for the repairs. While I’m excited to freshen that space up a little, I’m starting to go […]

Organizing First Aid Supplies (This Is What I Do)

It’s good to store things nearby where you use them, and I noticed that I was always dragging First Aid Supplies to this bathroom to clean up scrapes and bandage up the wounded. It only made sense to set up shop for First Aid Supplies right here in our half bath we call the Powder Bathroom. […]

Organizing Spices (This Is What I Do)

There’s a million and one ways to organize spices well, but I’ll show you what works best for me. I organize my spices in my drawer. The drawer is right next to the stove top and right across from the island, which are the two places where I use spices the most. I am always close […]

5 Minutes Well Spent

5 Minutes was all it took to change how I felt as I walked in my room and looked at my nightstand. Sometimes you just really need a win to start the momentum for more winning. Last night I needed a little escape from my overwhelmingly long To Do list. While my husband was putting the […]
