My husband’s old bachelor pad is the reason I ever came to be a “stand-up freezer person”. When I married Matt, he was a bachelor with a full-blown bachelor pad. And because he didn’t cook at all, ever, I mean he only heated things in a microwave … he didn’t think it was worth it to […]

Pegboard Hack & Organizing Garage Shelves
There is no hiding that shelves are my favorite organizing piece of furniture. They are just so dang flexible to whatever you want to put on them! And I’m falling almost equally in love with pegboards for their versatility with small tools. I used my first pegboard at MY house in my studio last year and […]
The Pantry {Home Tour}
My pantry is a closet right next the kitchen. You already know how I feel about taking pictures in closets, but I still wanted to show you my pantry. I could have removed all the little extras to make the pictures really pretty, but I thought I’d show you a real pantry instead. The kind […]
Master Bedroom Closet Tour
Up until now I’ve not shown much of my closet on the blog. It isn’t because it is a big secret, I really just don’t know how to take pictures in closets very well. I’ve decided that doesn’t really matter, because if you are still reading my blog after all this time, you’ve already discovered […]

Simple Battery Organization
My batteries have been bothering me. I had them pseudo-organized, but they were basically a jumbled mess within a container. Little Cougar and I went on a mission to find something to organize the batteries better. I went to the plastic storage bin section first, and then the kitchen storage section next, but nothing was […]
Tour Cougar’s Nursery
My goal was to finish Cougar’s nursery by his 1st birthday. The sweet baby didn’t even sleep in his room until he was 9 months old. I made my goal within a month, though I’m not sure I’ll ever really feel done. Kids rooms are always a work in progress, because our kids grow and […]
How to Organize and Rotate Toys
Are there toys everywhere you look? Chances are that an over-abundance of toys is just as overwhelming for your child as it is for you. Joshua Becker gives a compelling argument about Why Fewer Toys Will Benefit Children. In my experience, fewer toys out means less to clean up and more focused and calm playing by […]
