Ok, folks, I'm finally jumping on board the mason jar band wagon! Over the last year or two, I've seen a lot of mason jar Jack O Lanterns on Pinterest, but they've all had black faces and the light has shown through translucent paint or paper covering the remainder of the jar. I love all of these, but wanted to do something a bit different - so I opted for an opaque paint on the jar with the light shining through the unpainted eyes, nose, and mouth. I decided to take a ...

How to Organize Spray Paint Cans
Our house has a detached garage, which, as a DIYer, can sometimes pose challenges. Because the garage is unheated and uninsulated, I basically have a spray paint season, and then a long period of months when it's too cold to paint in the garage. And the months of cold weather also make spray paint storage a challenge. A couple of years ago, I added shelves in our utility room to store some of our paint and painting supplies. I did a lot of research to determine if it was safe to store paint ... View the Post
How to Design a Shared Family Room and Playroom
Like many families, we spent much of our summer outdoors - exploring the mountains, walking to the park, and playing in the backyard. But now that fall is here and winter is right around the corner, we are spending much more of our family time indoors, specifically in our basement family room, which also serves as the kids playroom. Today I'm sharing my five of my best tips for creating a shared family room and playroom that is comfortable and works well for the whole family. I am ... View the Post
Organizing & Storing Kids’ Artwork
Both of my boys go to preschool two days a week, and they do an art project every day. We also do a lot of art projects at home, so all the creativity was starting to pile up. I used to put all of the art in a basket in our entry way table, but I knew I needed a better long term solution. I have fun long term plans for documenting our boys' art work in books so that we don't have to keep every individual piece of paper. I want to make one book for their toddler/preschool years art, one for ... View the Post
DIY Denim Organizers for Boys’ Accessories + More Boy Organizing Ideas
All week long I am participating in Boy Mom Madness, a fun blogging event featuring 15 boy moms blogging about all things boy, with a new theme each day, leading up to a big link party and giveaway on Friday. Yesterday was all about boys' bedrooms {and I shared my tips for designing a boy's room that will grow with him}, and today we are talking about organizing for boys. Little boys are loud, crazy, and fun, and they have a lot of toys that require storage and organization. But my ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Get Ready for Back to School With These Kitchen Organizing Tips
The school year is right around the corner, which means the end of those long, relaxed summer days, but it also provides a great opportunity for a fresh start. Creating some simple organizing systems for back to school can help you get back into a good routine, and can keep you on track throughout the year. The kitchen is certainly the heart of the home, and, in our home, it is also school command central! In addition to packing lunches, we have a lot of “school stuff” to keep track of ... View the Post
Armoire Baby Central: A Changing Station and Organized Baby Clothes
We are getting settled in at home as a family of four, and Cooper is such a wonderful new addition! It's always amazing to me how much stuff comes along with such a tiny little person. Fortunately this time around there wasn't much new that we needed to purchase, but there was still the question of where to put it all. When we were preparing for the arrival of baby number one a year and half ago, we spent most of our time decorating the nursery and getting it organized with all ... View the Post
One-Stop Shopping Holiday Gift Guide
Thank you to Office Depot for sponsoring this post. When I was a kid, I counted down to the holidays and time seemed to move so slowly it felt like we'd never get to winter break. As an adult, between running a business and parenting, it feels like I blink and the holidays have come and gone. This year, I'm trying hard to slow down and simplify a bit so that I can really enjoy the season and create lots of memories with my own kids. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the holiday ...

{organizing with style} Closet Rod Divider Tutorial
Thanks to everyone who checked out our organized nursery closet earlier this week.

I purchased the plastic closet rod dividers {affiliate link} at the Container Store for only $.99 each. They are also available on Amazon {affiliate link} in larger quantities for slightly less, depending on how many you need. To make the labels, I used ... View the Post
Decorating On the Go with a Paint and Fabric Swatch Kit
There's no telling what I might find in my purse on any given day. With two young kiddos, you'll likely always find a couple of diapers, some fruit snacks, pouches of apple sauce, a pacifier, and maybe a stray sock or two. The musts include my wallet and phone, my makeup bag, and my mini-expanding filer full of coupons and gift cards. Until recently, you were also likely to find bent or torn paint samples and tiny, fraying fabric swatches buried in the depths of my purse. But no longer! ... View the Post

How to Host a Stock the Kitchen Wedding Shower
A couple of months ago I had the honor of hosting a family wedding shower for my soon to be sister-in-law, Allie! Allie and her fiance {my brother-in-law, Jay} both love to cook, and most of the gifts they registered for are kitchen and cooking related, so a "Stock the Kitchen" shower seemed like a perfect choice! Years ago, my mom gifted me a recipe box filled with recipes from all of our friends and family! It is a prized possession of mine, and I wanted to do the same for Allie! I found a ... View the Post
