Someone asked me recently what to do with all those boxes of electronics and appliances. You may have been lucky enough to get some great presents for Christmas and now you have some boxes hanging out taking up space. So the question is...do I have to keep them? And if so, for how long? This is not a yes or no answer so let's break it down. 1- Do you own the item still? If no...GET RID OF IT! If yes...see number 2. 2- Does the item have a warranty? If ...continue reading

War on School Papers
August 18, 2014 By
If you're anything like me...you are always battling a war on paper...specifically school papers. We talked about those stacks of paper last week.

Office and Laundry Room Update
January 4, 2013 By
Back in August we decided to update our laundry room/storage area and turn it into a functional office space for the Mister and a much more comfortable laundry room for myself.

It's been cold and ugly and dirty...not exactly the place you'd like to be doing laundry or working, right? Here is a little reminder of what we did to the room in August. And here ...continue reading
