Answers to your cleaning, organizing questions & more!
This year was a year of some major projects for us! It was also a year where we saw our house finally become the home I’d envisioned it to be ever since we moved in. I wasn’t going to do a project roundup this year but when I realized this was the year we did some of my favorite projects EVER, I had to do one! 🙂 We kicked the year off in January with a bookshelf makeover in my office. Even now, looking at the before picture, I can’t believe it used to look that bad! Before After We… Read More
In our current house we are extremely blessed to have a pantry, but in the majority of the places we’ve lived we haven’t been so lucky. When I was planning this series my friend asked me if I could write a post about how to organize a kitchen that doesn’t have a pantry, because she’s stuck in a kitchen without one, and I know many of you are too. In our last house we didn’t have a pantry but we had a large, really deep cabinet, where we stored all our food and other items. I wrote a post about… Read More
While I was planning this series I asked a handful of my friends, if they had 30 minutes or less, what is it they’d like to organize, or would need help organizing. I heard different things from all of them but one common thread was the task of how to organize kids dishes, utensils, etc. With kids, comes a lot of colorful, plastic dishware that I bet you’d never have in your house otherwise. 🙂 I’ve seen kitchens where it looks like the kid stuff is taking over and swallowing up any sort of “pretty” that the kitchen has to… Read More
Everyone says the kitchen is the heart of the home, which is one of the many reasons why it’s so important to have an organized kitchen. In our house, if the kitchen is cluttered I feel like the rest of the house is a mess too. I know we all spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so for the next few days, we’re going to talk about how to organize specific areas in it. Today I’m going to give you a few ideas for how to organize kitchen utensils, which I’m sure you use all the time. Organizing… Read More
I am so excited to be writing this new series about 10 places you can organize in 30 minutes, or less. I wrestled on which space to begin the series with, because there are so many good ones, but I finally decided that I wanted to start it off talking about something that has been so important, and so valuable to me over the last 4 months. Working out and staying on top of my health has been something that I’ve wrestled with over the years. I’ve always been a small person, and I thank my dad for those genes,… Read More
I can’t believe we are starting a new year, welcome to 2016!!! I always enjoy doing an organizing series in January but this year I turned to my friends and asked them, “what is it you need help with?” I could write all day long about how to organize a home, but if it’s not what you need help with, then I’m wasting my time. Over and over I’ve heard my friends say, “I’d love to be more organized, but I just don’t have the time.” I’m sure you can relate, as a working mom of 2, I know I… Read More
