A new cabinet for the crafts….yeah!!!!

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 [...]

Storing crafts and games

So some posts back I promised I’d share my craft centre but I hesitated only because it is sort of a work in progress. I’m going to go ahead and show you the pictures now though and then whenever I get around to fixing it up I’ll post pictures again.
We purchased this two door stand [...]

Memory Binders

At risk of boring your all to tears, I realized I haven’t mentioned the memory binders I keep for each of my kids. A couple of weeks ago I talked about how I organize the kids school papers. I have totes for each child in their closet for the bigger stuff but in order to [...]

It’s all about compromise….round two!

I’m constantly trying to introduce new inexpensive storage solutions into my house and for the most part my hubbie is pretty accomodating.
Remember back in October I told you about a disagreement my hubbie and I had about putting a dresser in the living room. You can read about it here. He didn’t like the idea [...]

So close but still so far to go….

Today was the last day of school for the kids. We are half way done our school clutter crap paper and supply sort but we still have all of this to go…..
I can’t seem to think about anything else until I get this done except now I have to wait till tomorrow because as much [...]

Organizing all that school clutter….

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of the year again. As much as I enjoy looking forward to the slower pace of summer what I don’t enjoy is all the paperwork/artwork/duotangs/binders/supplies that come home on the last day of school. Seriously I hate paper so much that I start to twitch at the sight [...]

Organizing a nursery for baby…..

A few people have asked me what I would suggest for organizing a nursery for baby including my sister who is expecting in July. Her baby’s room is really small so with that in mind most of my suggestions here will be around ways to help maximize even the tiniest of spaces.
My youngest son also [...]

Polly World…..

I love to find uses for items other than what they were originally intended for. For instance, when my oldest two kiddos were much younger and I was all done using the change table as that, I turned it into a Barbie house complete with poster board walls and pieces of carpet. My daughter loved [...]

Getting to sleep amongst the clutter….

Sarah left me a great question in the comments of the post I wrote earlier about my son and his pirate collection. She said she feels strongly that kids need an uncluttered space to sleep in and asked me how I balance the two…allowing my son to leave his pirates on the floor while at [...]

WFMW - Back of door storage

Seems like forever since I’ve posted on WFMW and this week I even get to use the nice new banner!
I solved a dilemma in my house this winter and for the life of me cannot figure out why I didn’t think of it sooner. It has to do with the kids wet snowpants after they [...]
