Ask Anna turns 4! Blogiversary #4

Wow, I cannot believe that it’s been 4 years since I started blogging! I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had the same job for 4 years, crazy! This year has been different than any of my other years. I didn’t attend any conferences this year but I did get the privilege of going to Iowa with Better Homes and Gardens, where I got to meet some of my favorite bloggers and tour their amazing campus! I took lots of other trips this year but that was the only blogging-related trip I took. I’m hoping to get to go to a… Read More

How to Organize Kids Snack Food

The next area we’re going to organize in our series, 15 ways to get organized for less than $15, is all of our kids’ snacks and lunchbox items. I love the look of pantries that have lots of glass containers, each one with a different item in it, but for our pantry it’s just not practical (and it’s expensive to buy all those containers). So instead I save money by using the boxes that the items come in. Let me show you what I mean. One of the shelves in our pantry has a large rolling basket attached to it…. Read More

The Easiest way to Organize Tupperware Lids

Welcome to another day of 15 ways to organize for less than $15! Today I’m going to show you the easiest (and cheapest) way to organize tupperware lids. Tupperware lids are probably one of the most annoying things to store, in most kitchens. You can stack your storage containers but what do you do with all the loose lids? The solution is easier than you might think… All you’ll need is a medium-sized basket from your local dollar store. I set my basket on the shelf, right next to my glass storage containers, and then I store all the lids… Read More

New Goals for a New Year Printables

Hey all, it’s Krista from While He Was Napping again! I hope your holiday celebrations were fantastic and that you’re ready to tackle a new year! In all honesty, I wasn’t too sad to say good-bye to 2014. We had some good times, like adding our littlest little guy to the family, but it was kind of a rough year for us. I’m ready for a new start and the motivation to make some changes in our little world, to set some new goals for a new year. You with me? I’m not sure what it is about the clock striking… Read More

Organizing Under the Kitchen Sink

Welcome to day #2 of 15 ways to get organized for less than $15! I totally thought I had shared this post with you already but when I was looking for it I couldn’t find it. I realized I’d taken all the pictures but never posted it, oops. 🙂 So today I’m finally going to show you how I organize under the kitchen sink in our new house. It’s pretty similar to how I did it at our other house but I have more space under this sink because I don’t have our trash cans under the sink (they are… Read More
