Remember last August when I went to visit my sister in Ontario and helped her to do this:
(You can see the before pictures here)
Well it turns out that my organizing freakness abilities may have rubbed off on her because just recently in preparation for their new baby who will be arriving next week (yay!) she [...]
Put up your hand if it drives you crazy when toys are all mixed up and scattered all over the house?
Me, me, me!!
Seriously I go a little cuckoo if I find toy sets (like Little People, or Pirates or Pollys or Lego) separated and taking up residence in different rooms of the house or even [...]
The Monthly Organizing Round-Up has us tackling our kid’s rooms this month. It’s enough to make us shudder just thinking about it isn’t it. It will be hard work but it’s not impossible. The two main problems I see in kid’s rooms are clothes and toys and I’ll address both of [...]

Well for everyone school is well underway by now. Do your kids have somewhere to hang there backpacks everyday when they come home or does it seem like you are constantly tripping over them. Last year I posted about the backpack station we created by the front door to contain the kids packs [...]
Well I didn’t have to wait long in my quest to find a new solution for organizing my crafts and games. If you didn’t get a chance to read the first part of this story you can read it here.
Early last Saturday morning my middle son and I went out garage saling in the rain [...]
