One of the blogs that inspired me to start my own was iHeartOrganizing. This year, iHeart’s Jen is issuing a monthly organizing challenge, and February is focused on the kitchen. While I certainly need to give my pantry a major overhaul, I just knew I wouldn’t be able to complete that project this month - and fortunately in the meantime it’s behind a closed door. So I instead decide to participate in Jen’s challenge by tackling a smaller problem, but one that’s out in the open - our ... View the Post

How to Properly Store, Dispose Of, and Recycle Paint and Paint Cans
As a serial DIYer, I'm always repainting the walls in our house, and painting just about everything else in sight with spray paint. That leaves us with a lot of leftover paint and, in time, a lot of empty paint cans. We have a very small utility room and a detached, unheated garage, so I had a lot of questions about how and where I could safely store my leftover paint, and how to properly dispose of paint and paint cans. I did a lot of research regarding both paint storage and disposal options, ... View the Post
Mood Board: Planes, Trains and Automobiles
As you probably know by now, we are in the process of deciding how to decorate Beckett's big boy room. Last week I shared two mood boards with different design concepts for a room that Beckett can grow into at least through early elementary school. Click to see the mood boards for the Beach Bum Big Boy Room and the Vintage Preppy Little Man's Lounge. Today's mood board, which I call Planes, Trains & Automobiles, is a more traditional theme for a young boy. While I tend to ... View the Post
{style inspiration} How to Add Some Mid-Mod Style to Your Home
When I was a kid, my parents like to "go a for drive" - just an afternoon in the car driving and looking around. As a kid, I didn't get this at all. So we are just going to sit in the car all day? And look at stuff? Boring! But now as an adult I totally get it! One of Scott's and my favorite things to do is to drive around Denver neighborhoods {especially when the kids fall asleep in the car} and look at houses - big houses, small house, old, new... we just love seeing all the styles and ...

How to Store Luggage and Organize Travel Gear At Home
I love to travel! Near... far... I'll go anywhere! And prepping for a trip is half the fun. I enjoy the process of researching and learning about new places as I plan our adventures. The list maker in me even loves to make a great trip prep to do list. When it came time to actually pack, though... that was the one part of the process I dreaded because my suitcases and travel accessories were a disorganized mess and finding what I needed was a headache. But no longer! I spent an ... View the Post
Restaurant Kit Update: Dining Out with Kids
You've spoken, and I finally listened! For quite a while I've been receiving requests for an updated post on our restaurant kit now that the boys are a little bit older, so today I give you Restaurant Kit Version 2.0 - The Preschooler Edition. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me quickly fill you in. A couple of years ago, when Beckett was 2 and Cooper was just 6 months old, I was that mom with the overstuffed diaper bag who still managed to not have everything I needed when we ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Baby Elevator Closet
I'm sure you're wondering, "What in the heck is a baby elevator closet?" Let me explain... Our house is built on three levels plus the basement, and when the builder designed it they anticipated that someone might want to add an elevator someday. Stacked directly on top of one another, all four levels of our house have a nice size closet. If someone ever wanted to add an elevator to the house ( I can't even begin to imagine what that would cost), these four closets would become an ... View the Post
Organizing Cords & Cables
I've been working on several big organizing projects recently, one of which is organizing all a hall closet that houses, among other things, all of our small electronics - everything from cameras and video cameras, to iPods, iPads and portable speaker. And every one of these items comes with at least one, if not two or more, cords and cables. The closet organizing project is still a work in progress, but I did just complete one key component - taming all of those cords and cables! I'm sure ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Washi Tape Shelves
Last week I showed your our organized "baby elevator closet" (if you want to know why we call it that, you'll have to check out that post), and you may have noticed the colorful stripes on the front of each of the shelves. Washi tape! It's hard to believe that just a few months ago I had never used washi tape for anything, and now it makes its way in to nearly every project I do. I love my label maker, and it's always been my go to when I've needed to label ... View the Post
How to Organize a Small Reach-In Pantry
Do you drool over those gorgeous walk-in pantry organization photos in magazines and on Pinterest? Me too! The only problem is that I don't have a walk-in pantry to make gorgeous! But after living in a condo for years with no pantry at all, even a smallish reach-in pantry seemed like such a luxury when we moved in to our current home. It took me years to figure out how to organize the pantry to make the most of our space, but after some failed attempts, I've finally figured out how to create a ... View the Post

The BEST Products to Help You Get Organized & Stay Organized
A few months ago I shared my 10 Steps to Get Organized & Stay Organized, and it prompted a lot of questions from readers. You all wanted to know where I like to shop for organizing products and which are my favorite products. So today I've put together a list of my go-to organizing products! This list certainly doesn't cover every bin, basket or container I've used in our house, but these are my favorite products - the ones I always think of first when I get ready to organize a new ...
