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 [...]

Oh for the love of organizing bags….

Orginally published Jan 2007

So if you’ve read my blog for any amount of time or well even just this week (lol) you know I have this obsession quirk about keeping all things similar contained in one place. As many of you know this isn’t always easy when you have kids. I have noticed that as [...]

Organizing Bags to get you organized!

I know a great organizing product when I see it, in fact I’m always on the lookout for the next best thing. When Lara, The Lazy Organizer, sent me some of her Organizing Bags back in January I immediately fell in love and yes I wanted to marry them….they are that good! If you have [...]

Small tackles can lead to big results!

Sometimes just getting started is half the battle….my brother and sister-inlaw have a nice bookcase in their living room that holds books, photos and toys.

Prouct Highlight - Recycling Tower

So all this recycling had me searching the internet for some alternate recycling options because really I’ll recycle anything as long as I [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Closet Storage….

I am always looking for ways to re-purpose things in my house. I really do get a “high” from it. Nothing makes me happier than to solve an organizational dilemma using something I already own often in a new way other than what it was originally intended for. Creativity really isn’t my strong suit [...]
