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 […]

How To Organize A Stand-Up Freezer (in the Garage)
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 […]
Garage Organizing: How To Hang Bikes, Scooters, Ripsticks, Balls & More
Organizing things that fit on shelves and pegboards is pretty easy, but certain things are a pain, like sports equipment.

Garage Organization for Real Families
The original post below was written so long ago. I eventually got this garage just how I like it and posted about it. Now we live in an entirely different house, a couple houses since this post. This post was one of the first of viral organizing posts in the early days of blogging. This […]
The Freezer Incident
I remember when I was pregnant with my twins, my first babies, Matt and I talked about our impending parenthood. I remember it vividly. We talked about how our kids were going to be kids and ruin things in our home. We braced ourselves to expect scratched DVDs and broken glasses, and we agreed that we couldn’t […]
