Kristen over at We Are THAT Family is hosting an organizing edition for Works for Me Wednesday so of course I couldn’t resist participating.
I don’t know about in your house but frequently I walk into the bathroom to find toothbrushes scattered all over the countertop. It drives me nutso. Especially since I’d given them [...]
As you know I live in a very small community with not a lot to do to keep kids busy during the long summer days. However we do have a gorgeous lake with a beautiful beach area about a half hour away that has saved my sanity on more days than I can [...]
Well it’s backwards Works For Me Wednesday which means it’s my turn to ask you a question! Since we are discussing dining rooms this month, and by dining room I mean wherever you eat (or are suppose to eat) whether it be a formal dining room, casual dining room, eat in kitchen, bar stools [...]

I don’t know if you’ve heard (he he) but I LOVE containers! What I also love though and what you might not know is that I love to use those containers to consolidate. I love just saying that word. Anytime I can consolidate many things into one thing, thereby taking up less space makes me [...]
In our house we have a saying. A necessary saying because in our house, as is normal for most homes I’m sure, items seem to magically wander from their normal “place of residence” to another area of the house.
What makes me happy though is that I only have to shout two words to my kids [...]
It isn’t earth shattering, it isn’t huge, but it is the one thing that helps me stay on top of clutter and reign in the chaos that is “stuff” out of its home. I never go from one floor to the next or one room to the next empty handed. That’s it.
Simple I know but [...]
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 [...]
