I love being a Professional Organizer! Part of what I do for my clients is help strategize the best approach to tricky situations. Do you have a whole bunch of rooms that are a cluttered mess and you don’t know where to start? I help clients figure out where to start. I bet you already know that […]

New House BEFORE Pictures (Finally!)
We moved furniture into this house on Labor Day weekend. In celebration of a month living in our new house in Texas, I thought I’d share the pictures I took the day before the furniture arrived. I call these the “before” pictures. Of all the homes I looked at, I chose this house, so obviously […]
Water Lalapalooza 2016
I just told you earlier this week that I had lots of plans of things to get done this week, but I got a little sidetracked to say the least. I also wanted to write a blog post about choosing paint colors, because there are lots of walls around here full of paint sample blobs […]
Get Rid Of Fruit Flies For Good
Fruit flies and produce go together like peanut butter and jelly, except I LIKE peanut butter and jelly and I HATE fruit flies. It’s not a problem, though, because when I start to notice them hanging around my fruit or in my pantry, I know how to get rid of them easily, quickly, and with […]
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 […]
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 […]
How to Clean Your Dishwasher
If you want your dishwasher to wash your dishes well, you have to actually wash the dishwasher itself from time to time. The anticipation and build-up for most of these miscellaneous tasks around the house is usually so much worse than the actual task itself. Cleaning the dishwasher is no exception. The actual hands-on work itself takes about 15 […]
Kitchen Tour Update
I almost feel bad about this title, like I’m teasing you into some big post full of pictures of my kitchen. I do have two pictures I’ve never shown before, so yeah, maybe I should have made the title even more exciting. I’ve shared my kitchen several times on the blog. Let’s review – Kitchen Tour […]
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 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 […]
