This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. Cricut has long been established as the ultimate crafting tool! And while I get my craft on from time to time, I've always used my Cricut cutting machine primarily for organizing. While I love my Cricut Explore Air (and am coveting a Cricut Maker for it's ability to cut even more materials), the truth is that both machines are much more powerful than what I need for the majority of my projects. I love ... View the Post

Five Step Quick Cleaning Routine
That moment when the phone rings with friends asking if they can stop by, and you look around the house wondering how much you can clean up in the next 30 minutes before they arrive. Please tell me I'm not the only one this has happened to?! I always do better when I have a plan, so I thought I'd embrace the idea of spring cleaning this year by coming up with a simple game plan that I can use throughout the year to whip the house into shape quickly. With young kids and a new puppy in the ... View the Post
How to Create a Custom Door Label with Cricut
A year after completing the makeover of our master bathroom, the barn door on our closet remains one of my favorite details of the space! Based on your comments, it seems to be one of your favorite features as well. Over time, a lot of you have asked me how we added the "Dressing Room" label to the barn door, so today I wanted to share the easy DIY tutorial. I created this custom door label using my Cricut electronic cutter, which is one of the most versatile and fun tools I own for decor, ... View the Post
The Easiest Way to Deep Clean a BBQ Grill
Raise your hand if you're ready for summer grilling season. Me too! I'm so eager to get our patio ready for family dinners and entertaining friends. We've uncovered the patio furniture, we'll plant flowers and grasses in our pots and planter bench soon, and the BBQ grill needed a really thorough cleaning. This last one is a task I usually dread, but this year I found an easier method! We always use a wire brush to give the top of the grates a quick cleaning after each meal, while the BBQ ...

Organizing Kids Toys with Labels that Are Easy to Update
Raise your hand if you love to label ALL. THE. THINGS? Me too! Labeling is one of the most important steps in the process of creating an organized space, because it makes it easy for everyone in the family to find what they need, and makes it much easier to put everything away where it belongs. But not all labels are created equal. A label is only good if it's accurate, so it's important to make labels easy to update for those spots in the house where the contents are likely to change ...

Pretty Pantry Labels Three Ways + FREE PRINTABLE LABELS
Last week I shared my five steps for creating an organized and pretty pantry, and I gave you a tour of our pantry space. Over a year after first completing our pantry makeover, the space is functioning just as well today as it did on day one - and I believe we have the labels to thank for that! Without labels, our pantry would just be a sea of matching white bins. I would have a pretty good idea of what goes where, since I organized it to start with, but imagine my poor kids and husband! They ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Project Paint Storage and a Free Printable
To say we have a lot of latex paint might be an understatement! When we bought our home, the builder left us a touch up kit with 2 quarts of each color of paint used throughout the house (including the original wall colors, the trim, ceilings, and closet interior paints). Additionally, we have since repainted many of the rooms in the house, resulting in a lot more leftover paint (and in the case of the ombre stripes in the nursery we used five different colors). Until a few weeks ... View the Post
How to Clean a Dishwasher
How often do you clean your dishwasher? I'll confess that I don't clean mine nearly often enough! I wash dishes in it daily, so surely it's getting clean at the same time, right? One look at my dishwasher filter proved that theory wrong. Ewww! This week, I gave my stainless steel dishwasher a thorough cleaning, and now it's no longer the dirtiest clean spot in my house. It turns out that it's actually pretty easy to get it sparkling with minimal effort. And a clean dishwasher certainly ... View the Post

I hope you haven't hit leather overload yet, because I have one last leather project to share with you today for Five Minute Friday. I've heard from many of you that are now planning to add some leather belt drawer pulls to your dresser, but for those who love to the look but don't want to go as far as adding belts to your furniture...this post is for you! You all know that I love a good label and I'm always looking for new ways to make labels pretty, and this might just be my favorite label ... View the Post
{organizing with style} 10 Steps to Get Organized and STAY ORGANIZED
On Monday, I shared an ambitious list of decorating and organizing projects that I hope to accomplish in 2015. Among the projects on the list are numerous areas of our home that I've organized {and reorganized} in the past, but that need attention again because they just aren't working for us. So before I tackle these spaces yet again, I decided to take a step back and figure out why some of our spaces stay so well organized while others continue to be problem spots. After taking the time to ... View the Post
Organizing and Cleaning
A disorganized home can create unnecessary stress, and no one needs more stress in his or her life! But trying to get organized can also feel overwhelming. Organizing is not simply about lining things up and making them look neat today. The real challenge is creating organized systems that you can keep up with so you won't find yourself needing to reorganize again a few months down the road. While function is key, I also strongly believe that organizing can be beautiful. I've found that when ... View the Post
How to Remove Set-In Grease Stains from Laundry
Have I mentioned that I hate doing laundry? I HATE doing laundry! Even my pretty laundry closet can't make me like it. I tried, I really did! And my absolutely least favorite part of doing laundry used to be trying to remove set-in grease stains. I would wash and rewash my husband's shirts using different sprays and stain sticks, but the grease stains would still be there. Finally a friend of my mom recommended a solution ... and OMG, it worked! I don't post cleaning tips on the blog very ... View the Post
