Howdy! Hope you are all having a FABULOUS week! Our weather here has been incredibly warm for this time of the year so needless to say the soup I had planned on making this week got scrapped. I just cannot eat soup until it’s cold out lol.
So let’s jump into some favorites shall we? I love reading my blogs through Feedly each week and it’s how I find my favorites to list here for you each week. I follow a lot of blogs! It’s so hard not to though as there are so many great ones out there 🙂
I hope you enjoy today’s collection and maybe it will inspire you to do a little bit of organizing this weekend. Remember don’t get ahead of yourself and plan big projects, that just gets overwhelming. Break big projects down into small manageable chunks and just focus on one or two of those at a time. Remember something is better than nothing. That’s what I have to say to myself about exercise 🙂
My Favorite Weekly Organizing Links:
Such a fantastic pantry…I also hate wire shelving and this looks and functions so much better. DIY Pantry Makeover ~ @ Daisy Mae Belle (shown above)
“When I feel like I’m missing something, I like to make a trip to Target.” – Oh boy can I ever relate to that line from a fantastic post over at Chatting At The Sky titled What Do You Need?.
Collection of Emergency Preparedness posts ~ @ Professional Organizers Blog Carnival
Hobby: for Fun or Spending? ~ @ Gail Vaz-Oxlade
Useful Moving Tips and a Packing Plan ~ @ It’s Overflowing

What I’m Loving On:
This should come as no surprise to anyone but when I see a new Better Homes & Gardens Storage magazine out at Wal-mart I go crazy leaping across the aisles to get to it. Must.Have.Now. I do apologize to the few people that inevitably get bowled down by me as I push past them. I am an organizing junkie looking for a fix what can I say! The “hit” I get off the bright beautifully organized pages of this magazine is delightful and fun. Make sure you are following me on Facebook because I may just have bought a couple of extras for a random giveaway….hint hint.
What else do I love? Re-cycled candle jars as organizing tools. This one below was a candle from Target that I cleaned out when the candle had run its course. I love the size of it plus it has a good tight fitting lid. The possibilities are endless! I use this one for my makeup face sponges. I love when a purchase just keeps on giving, whoot!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Laura!
Thank you so much for all the posts, especially emergency preparedness, as it will help me when I need to teach ladies at church how to organize themselves for emergencies!! ALSO I did pick up a copy of the BHG magazine myself this week when my husband and I were at the Home Depot. I knew you would be mentioning it and I have already found great ideas!! Thanks for making me laugh and making my day a little brighter today!

Thanks so much for sharing my pantry! I need to look around, because EVERY other space in my house needs a good dose of organization! Life to the full! Melissa

There are some awesome links. I am loving the pantry shelves. I really want to do something different with my pantry. It is really small.
