It's so funny that when you are an organizer you naturally come up with a system for everything. This time I came up with a system for organizing our Christmas presents. I'm not talking about the lists I have for each person I'm shopping for or the Wunderlist I've created for store by store shopping. I'm talking about keeping track of what present is for what family after it's been wrapped and tagged. If you're anything like our family we celebrate with friends and ...continue reading
Move Some Furniture
Sometimes you have looked at a space in your home so many times you just can't envision it any other way. You can't see the potential in a room.

We need more coats, more blankets, more little baskets to put my stuff because it's too cold to get up and go put ...continue reading

We have been in the throes of sickness for the entire month of December and I thought it might be nice to not be sharing toothbrush and toothpaste germs and maybe everyone would take a little more pride in how they dispense their toothpaste if it was ...continue reading
Laundry Horror to Laundry Haven
We live in a 1960's ranch house. Evidently when they built my house noone thought it was important to put the laundry room inside the house. Instead they thought it would be fun to put it in a storage room off the carport. So yes, I have been known to run half naked out to the laundry room to grab a pair of jeans that are still in the dryer...you know you do it to! It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter...no one wants to put on their winter coat to go fetch ...continue reading
