Ask the Freak ~ Organizing the Entryway

I received this email in response to my Command Center post:

I have the same dilemma that you recently posted about. My house opens right into my kitchen. I always have shoes and my purse and my work bag laying on the floor in the kitchen when I get home. We also have a dishwasher [...]

Oh how I love my 3M Command Adhesive Hooks!

It seems when I like a product I take it to the extreme. I just can’t help myself. The 3M Command Adhesive Hook is that good and that fun. The best part about them is that they aren’t permanent so I don’t have to hesitate to put them up. [...]

Works for Me Wednesday ~ Never lose your keys again!

I never lose my keys and all it cost me for that peace of mind was $1.00 from the Dollar Store! In fact this works so well for me I’ve been using the same system for years! My secret is carabiner clips. I keep one on each of my key rings making [...]

The excellent freezer tip that wasn’t…..

This was to be a lovely little post on how to use milk crates to organize your deep freezer. The truth of the matter is this. Milk crates do a fine job of organizing your freezer IF your freezer doesn’t look like mine.

Turns out that all that frost on the freezer sides doesn’t make [...]

Organizing kid’s toys just got a whole lot easier….

We have a playroom downstairs for the kids. I have tried so many different systems for containing all the toys to no avail. I’m not a fan of the toybox - except for dress up clothes - because toys seem to get buried at the bottom and it’s impossible to keep all [...]

Toy storage I’m NOT a fan of……

My son had this toy storage container in his room. I actually didn’t mind it when he was a baby because well his toys were smaller then. Now that he is a toddler you can maybe fit one of his trucks, trains or balls into one of those teeny tiny buckets. It just doesn’t justify [...]

Organizing clothes for the seasons….

The weather here is getting cold. So cold in fact that my kids are already wearing their winter coats to school. You know what that means don’t you? Time for the seasonal clothes change out! Now I don’t know about you but I hate being annoyed and over stuffed closets ANNOY me. A LOT! The [...]

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 [...]
