Living with intention…even when it comes to hair products

Some of you may remember that I have my own collection of sorts. I’m addicted to hair products and then because of the miracle of beauty these products claims to possess I can NEVER part with them. I figure the longer I hold on to them the more likely the promise of “dream hair” [...]

Organizing table linens….

As you all know by now I don’t enjoy cooking dinner but I what I do enjoy is the organizing of dinner. From spending hours pouring over recipes books trying to select just the right menu to setting and decorating the table. I love a pretty table and I especially love the diversion [...]

Quick and easy closet transformation

My hubbie had some free time this weekend and decided he was going to create some extra storage space in his closet. You can only imagine how very happy this made me and NO I didn’t put him up to it because I totally know that is what you were thinking wasn’t it?? Okay [...]

Closet cubbies and shelves that make me very very happy!

When I was visiting my sister I gave her an early birthday gift.

Nothing says happy birthday better than brand new shelves to organize your front closet! Isn’t that something you’ve always wanted for your birthday? lol
I LOVE these cubbies and shoe stackers!! Look at how much room they create. I even [...]

Organizing my desk…..

My friend Marcia is having a little tidy desk competition. Lucky for me tidying my desk (not to mention my whole office) was part of my organizing frenzy of last week. I have the WORST desk ever, not a single drawer to be found and no doors to hide anything away. Uggg. But making do [...]

Organizing kitchen cabinets in only a couple of hours….

Organizing a junk drawer…

Okay so awhile back Katherine over at Raising Five wrote a really funny post about her junk drawer. If you haven’t read it please go on over and do so and then come back. Isn’t that great…I love it! I’m here to say there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a junk drawer, in fact [...]

Pantry Organization

A couple of weeks ago a friend blessed me by allowing me the opportunity to help her organize her pantry. It was my pleasure and I was happy to help. She’s even allowing me to share the pictures with all of you.

Expired items were thrown out and baskets were [...]
