How is your Christmas shopping going? Me, you ask? Well, I was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed, but as of last night I'm feeling much more on track. And I got there by following Santa's example... I made a list {two lists in fact} and I'll be checking them twice! My friend Melissa, of Polished Habitat, and I are both big list makers, so we teamed up to create two free printables to help us, and you, stay on track with our holiday shopping, spending, and wrapping.

{five minute friday} Save Money this Holiday Season by Organizing Your Coupons
Who has already started their Christmas shopping? I've been picking up a few things here and there, but not much yet. I'm hoping, however, to get most of it done in November this year to avoid the last minute rush and so that I'll have more time to enjoy the holiday festivities with my family. And of course, I'm hoping to save some money by taking advantage of sales and using as many coupons as I can! I love this time of year when every retailer is mailing out coupons and my email inbox is ... 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 ...

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

During the course of this project, we did a lot of research regarding ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Managing Kitchen Paper Piles with a Simple Filing System
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

Week 2 – Does Shopping Count as Progress?

{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

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
