It is not a myth, it is completely true: it is easier to do laundry in an organized and tidy laundry room/laundry area. As I prepared the materials and blog post for the Laundry Room week of the Declutter Challenge, I reviewed some of what I’ve written about laundry in the past. I’ve come to the […]

The Living Room {Home Tour}
My living room. It shows up in a lot of random posts on the blog, but I realize I’ve never actually shown you the entire room in one post. I’m remedying that right now and showing you the second most frequently used room in my house (it is a close second to the kitchen). A […]
Home Office In Progress {Step 1: Declutter}
Last week the declutter challenge focused on our home office spaces. I took decluttering the office to the extreme. When we first moved in almost 4 years ago, I wanted shelves across the back wall to look like built-ins. That sounds really nice in theory, but in actuality, the shelves were giant dust and clutter […]
Organize the Laundry Room
An organized laundry room is important. I consider the laundry room to be the “command center of housekeeping”, so it makes sense for it to be in order. Of course, making it a pleasant place to be helps too! Choose carefully what you store in the laundry room. In an effort to keep “like with […]
The Kitchen {Home Tour}
I’m having fun going slowly through my house with you, touring one room at a time. Earlier this week, I showed you my Dining Room and my Pantry. Today’s tour will complete this corner of my home. The last time I showed you my kitchen was 3 years ago, so this tour/update seems long overdue! The cabinets […]
The Dining Room {Home Tour}
I’m thrilled to show you my dining room! I’ve made a few little changes lately and the effect has been dramatic! It is amazing what a few things can do. One of the things I’ve done is sew new curtains. I sewed these old ones as well and I loved them for a long time, […]
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 […]
The Green Bathroom {Home Tour}
Today I want to show you one of our bathrooms. We call this one “The Green Bathroom”. It is the bathroom near the guest room upstairs, but it is also used by my kids some. There aren’t any windows, so the green walls could make the room dark, which is why I’ve decorated with bright […]
Master Bathroom Tour & Organizing Tips
It has been a few years since I shared a tour of my master bathroom and how I organize it. I’ve made some updates over time. I like to make gradual changes to keep things fresh! Plus, we’ve since had a baby boy, and since he shares our bathroom, that changes things a little. Like […]
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 […]
