There are 2 consistent things about my life: meals and laundry. I can choose to fight it or embrace it, so I embrace it. Since it isn’t my favorite thing in the world, I’ve come up with ways of making it easier to get done. One thing that has helped me is to have different […]

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 […]
Christmas Storage: Putting Away Christmas Decor
There is one thing I store in my attic at my new house: all my Christmas Stuff. Since we only use it once a year, I like it all tucked away out of sight the rest of the year. I’m keeping our decorations out longer than usual this year since we didn’t even finish decorating […]

My wood floors are being re-done this week, so my family is staying at my mom’s house while we wait for the fumes to fade and the floor to cure. This is happening in the middle of other stressful things. To try to put it lightly: I’m feeling a lot of stress this week. Even […]
Peek In My Coat Closet
I think the curiosity to see behind the closed doors of our friends and family is natural. Recently I read that 40% of houseguests admit to snooping around the house! As a professional organizer, I think people feel extra curiosity … so I’d up that to 75% at least! Even though I don’t think this closet […]
Peek Inside My Linen Closet {Updated}
I showed my linen closet a long time ago and since it has been updated for a long time now … how about I show you? I’ve always had a thing for laundry baskets. Even though I use only one for my laundry, I have a lot more around the house for organizing. This closet […]
Organize The Closet Under The Stairs {Update}
Closets underneath stairs can be awkward, no doubt! I’ve shown you how I’ve organized this closet in the past, but I’ve given it an update. I’ve replaced all of the hodge-podge shelves with uniform shelves from IKEA. I like the price of these shelves as well as the ability to find different height and different […]
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. […]
